There's probably some leftover stuff down in the base

I contacted SS to see what they say about it. The front foot sits flush all the way down, but the right rear pin foot does not go down to sit flush. So there is nothing impeding that rear peg foot from going all the way down.

I was told by our distributor that some Batman units would actually have the same leaning problems as some Superman units if it weren't for a part (a tip of the scalloping) of the cape resting safely on top of the base. Prior to this discussion with the store I noticed on my Modern Age Batman that the small clearance between that part of the cape and the base had become smaller overtime, so I thought they were correct.
Again that gap between the cape and the base was very small to begin with, that should the tip completely touch the base due to the weight, a warping of some sort on the figure's body would be insignificant that it can be very difficult to notice.
Bats leaned because of pad placement issues. The factory simply put the pads on the bottom of the base incorrectly. This was rectified with batches that were released later. I have a Bats PF with that lean. I simply put one small felt pad on the bottom of the base and never had a leaning problem again. It was an easy fix.
Supes leaning issues seem to be with the pads themselves. They are softer pads that flattened over time due to the weight of Supe's cape. Once the pad flattened, the statue started to lean. I personally don't have that issue. I've had the EX displayed since I received it (first batch), and it's as straight as the first day I got it.

I've never had a problem with mine

I notice my new one also not going in all the way with the right foot. Left is fine and flush. But I am happy this new one is standing straight and not leaning like my first one.

Very cool to have them all on display. I got my Aquaman coming this Friday and WW comes in July. My Supes is standing very straight too and not leaning so that's good. Can you take a Pic of your Supes right rear pin foot, cause I'd like to see the clearance. Thanks.

Repaint looks good. I'm still impressed with the head sculpt factory paint on mine (one of Sideshow's best).

Very nice repaint. I'm still trying to find someone who would be willing to repaint my EX like that =)
