Californian Sea Lion Figure Won't Balance: Fixes

Quick Answer

If your Californian Sea Lion figure won't balance, first check for a warped base or uneven leg contact, then gently adjust or add a small support. Most wobbles are fixable at home without damaging the figure.

Diagnose and Fix the Balance Issue

• Symptom: Figure tips forward or backward: Place the figure on a flat, level surface (like a glass table) and observe which side lifts. If the nose or tail touches first, the base is likely warped or a flipper is uneven.
• Likely cause: Warped base or uneven leg contact: Inspect the bottom of the figure. If one corner is raised, gently press it down on a hard surface—do not force it. If the figure still rocks, the base may need a slight heat adjustment (use a hairdryer on low for a few seconds) or a tiny adhesive felt pad to level it. Always test on a perfectly flat surface before making adjustments.
• Corrective action: Use a display stand or support: If the figure still won't balance after adjustment, place it on a clear acrylic stand or add a small, hidden support (like a piece of museum putty) under the base. This is a common solution for dynamic poses. If the figure is new and defective, contact Mojo Fun USA customer support for a replacement.
• When to stop or choose another option: If the figure has a visible crack, a broken flipper, or the base is severely deformed, do not attempt complex repairs—this may void the warranty. Instead, contact the retailer or Mojo Fun USA for a replacement or refund. Know when to stop: safety and preserving the figure's value matter more than a quick fix.

About the Mojo Fun Californian Sea Lion Figure

• Californian Sea Lion: Sea lions are often seen in large groups and hunt in pairs or groups, with group numbers increasing during mating season. This social behavior is reflected in the figure's dynamic pose, which may have a slightly raised flipper—making balance more sensitive to surface unevenness.
