Cannonball MB issue

This piece is way too front heavy. I'm afraid the slightest vibration will send it falling off the shelf.

That sucks to hear, but the heads up is appreciated!

I wonder if this is the same factory that screwed up the Avalanche MB .

I don't think production has anything to do with it. It's the sculpt. Cannonball leans forward with arms extended putting all the weight towards the front. I do believe it is the same factory. I heard Randy switched factories when there was an issue with those three busts having to be re-solicited.

Hmmm...may have to break out some fishing weights to counter balance.

I'm going to add a pad to the bottom front center, and/or place something thin underneath the front.

I'm afraid the slightest bump or vibration might send it over. Our house is old and un-level, and some of my shelves didn't come perfect either. So I just want to be safe than sorry.

So did some of the Avalanche mini-busts get out or were they never released?

I still need to buy Cannonball; haven't been to the shop in a few weeks.

Denny, it's my understanding that some Avalanches made it out. And that Cannonball shipped to shops from Diamond this week. I got mine last Thursday. Avalanche was suppose to ship with it. And that's all the details I'll give on that transaction with Bowen so I'm not accuse of my facts being a conspiracy. If you want to know more on what went down, just message me.

BTW, I like you're avatar. Bruce just lives about an hour from me. Met him at a book signing. Great guy.
