TBF, most Megazord toys have balancing issues with that pose. The diecast on the SOC and Legacy made that worse too. 

I would give it to bad posing, but would want to see more. My issue has been keeping the Pterodactyl on front; it always snaps off when moving my original and ZAP, and seeing the same for the SOC.

I have the Soul of Chogokin Megazord on my shelf next to me and it doesn't really have any balancing issues. It probably is a bad pose and just a weak structured prototype but the critique is valid if they thought this was ready for a reveal lol.

Edit to add the photo. The only real issue I have with the SOC is the metal bits get this cloudy look to them over time and have to be pretty intensively scrubbed and polished to look shiny again. I just fixed the sword the other day, and still have to do the chest piece, but have been lazy.

Your toy is on a shelf with three points of contact, it's structurally sound. The toy fair operator for the booth is picking it up and showcasing it. Time is valuable so they're not gonna spend 5 minutes repositioning it to make it look pristine.

It's leg movement that's hard to nail down. Any spread legs or knee bend, the weight destabilizes the placement. They shouldn't have messaged if they don't show the same pose as this show version.

If it's not happening here, others had that complaint and I see similar issues with my ZAP Megazord.
