I don't have that issue. Perhaps it's because mine was never digging into it, and just barely leaning against it. I never put it near direct sunlight, I never put it near extreme heat, or anywhere thats likely to get somewhat hot like near room radiators or such, or anywhere near extreme cold or windows or places that is likely to get lots of condensation. Nor do I play with it, like some due ¬_¬
To me it's a collectable so I treat it as if it was an ornament. With the utmost care. Nowhere near glues, adhesives, water or any odd liquids or anything than can spill fall or damage it. When I do display it... One pose and keep it, and most times keep it in it's box due to other things happening in the house, until I can get a proper display unit.
You will always hear the problems from the ones that don't look after anything. You never or rather I should say very rarely ever hear about the ones that never have problems.
Well said, I can't argue against any of that because I follow the same rules exactly to what you described.
But the simple fact that my Batman OC HAD to be on the stand or there was a 100% chance of him falling as soon as I looked away really made me begin to dislike him and in the end, I preferred the Takara over him (I know, Blasphemy) because my Takara has been in the same position w/o a stand for a very long time now w/o even moving a centimeter.
I'm thrilled to hear that the new suit supposedly has stronger ankles, it's a move in the right direction.
I do believe that the OC received too many free passes regarding it's horrendous ankles in most of the reviews I read as in HT could do no wrong.
I'll say it for the 100th time, Excellent Batman (and Bale) sculpture, suit, moveability (different than poseability), and accessories but damn crappy weak ankles and that's very important for me because stands in my opinion ruin the look of the figure hence why most cool photos you see going for realism have the stands "removed" in post production.
But good looking boots, go figure (no pun intended..yes it was).
P.S. Don't get me wrong, the WORST ankles-boots award goes to the DC Direct TDK Batman, only way to display him if one wasn't going to use the stand was on his back! He would not stand AT ALL!!
At least the HT OC would stand if one was lucky that his top heavy weight wouldn't wake up gravity to do it's deed!
