I got a solution or fix for all of us cause if it's a universal problem, then we all know what SS will say about it. Take it as is or send it back. This will relieve the peg foot that's taking all the weight from the statue. I placed a 3/8 inch felt pad on the bottom of the floating foot to relieve all that pressure and now you got both legs balancing the weight evenly. I bought these not too long ago from Walmart, black 3/8 felt pads.
Good idea. I was thinking of using a little bit of museum putty type material.

Jubilee is my most wanted. No brainer.
they've pretty much done all of these except Kitty Pryde...
I'm banking on a Kitty Pryde

Phoenix for me. Classic green costume though, not the white one pictured.

They'll probably do Storm seeing they won't give her regular eyes again like Jean.
They already released a Storm PF but not in her white (Lee) costume.

I didn't know that. I also missed out on Rogue, Gambit and Cyclops and those are like a treasure to have now. Okay so I guess cute little Jubilee will be hopefully next.

The putty material can crack and fail with time. Maybe it's better to use the smallest round steel washers you can find in a hobby shop for radio-controlled cars, paint them either yellow or color to match the base and use a removable type of adhesive and glue it to the tip of her foot. Make sure the size of the washer/s doesn't protrude off of that foot.
Good point, I should look into something more permanent like you suggest.

I sent you a PM.
I've got the floating foot issue as well -- is Sideshow doing anything about this? Or is it a "Just live with it" sort of situation?

They're saying all of them that they have in stock have some degree of elevation from the base, so they won't be able to offer you 1 that would be better. Just put a a 3/8 inch black felt pad under the tip of the foot and at least you'll have the whole statue supported by the 2 legs.

Just saw this in my lcs and I was pleasantly surprised!
I hated the proto pics. I still think this neck and hand are a bit weirdly posed but the face looks nice and its a decent statue.

Storm was actually pretty awesome looking.
Wow, that Storm is exotic and very beautifully detailed. Now I know for sure I missed out on all those fantastic X-men.

I know some guy who's selling his Storm for less than 400 bucks AND it's the incredibly amazing EX. The price is so good it makes me want to buy it again just because lol.
Although I have the EX I wish I could trade her for the white version... unfortunately the white version does not have the EX head so I guess I'm sticking to the black EX.
Storm PF is a beauty.
