did you check to see if the shaft that connects the upper torso to the pelvis is bent? Is there any gap in that area in the back when set up?
Hey that was your idea

Kobe, the first 2.0 that I got had many problems. One problem that I noticed when boxing it back up was that the bottom of the base had come apart. I am talking about the under side of the base.The whole panel was cracked. I guess since the base is hollow the bottom gives out and breaks. Next time you take apart your Endo, take a look at the bottom of your base. That may have something to do with it. On my replacement, I made sure to buy a MDF board and display him on that so the ground is even.
If it's loose I guess you could feel it from the bottom nut but I checked both ends on mind.
You can try to stick your hand where the arrow is pointing kinda from a back or side angle.

So I'm trying to decide if I should buy this endo. I had purchased the 1/2 scale version from SS but was disappointed with the teeth, rifle and head shape and sent it back. Anyone experience buyer's remorse after receiving their life size statue or a few months afterward. Some might say a true fan would just buy it but $6,500.00 is a whole lot of $ for something I haven't seen in person and with a few problems as reported on this thread. I called SS and of course they told me that there have been no reported problems with the statue. The pictures posted here and on the other thread about removing the battle damage look very impressive. Any opinions or thoughts would be much appreciated.

It is my understanding the V2 is not chrome so you won't be taking the battle damage off unfortunately. That was the main reason I passed on one. The leaning is also unacceptable.
Got some insight on this: "Plating in China is expensive and time consuming and you have a 40% defect rate. That defect rate is why Sideshow has battle damaged parts, it's a way to sell the defective product with the good." That comes from the original product designer.
They used to plate them, but like their new bust it is all painted, not actual chrome underneath like the originals. I can't remember what thread it was discussed in, but it kept me from ordering.
Bust? We're discussing the 1:1
