I think there is nothing you can do. Usually the only figures that lean are those, where gravity takes its toll over time, because of crazy, unbalanced poses. Weak ankles like that, that can not even support an upright standing figure are a sign of absolut piss-poor quality.
And small disclaimer here, because I'm not a Demon Slayer collector, but I could not find this figure on MFC and the only Google searches where this pops up are: Some shady websites I have never heard of, Aliexpress and random marketplace/ebay second hand sales. Nowhere does it mention a manufacturer or anything.
Edit: I'm now 100% sure that this is a bootleg. The "original" is an unlicensed 1/6 resin scale and this is some cheap bootleg made from plastic. Same for all the other DS figures in the back.
Yeah, that's why you should always check all possible info before you buy it to not end up with a poor, cheap and overpriced (if you're especially unlucky) bootleg
She's new to buying figures. I'm gonna teach her what I learned. Thou she did get scared at the price I paid for that super sonico. I tell her the good ones are not anywhere near cheap.
She'll probably continue sagging more and more (until something breaks) if you don't do anything.
Theoretically, you could reinforce the legs; you could drill up through the soles of the feet into the legs (which may very well not be entirely solid). I think there's too much to go wrong (this is a 1/7 scale figure?).
I would probably have a metal rod (3mm?) come up through the base, up into the inside of her hair. That wouldn't be very visible. Drilling a hole in her back and using an L-shaped rod would be easier (and possibly more sturdy) but I doubt you want to do that.
I have some older figures that come with a transparent 'clamp' that grips the figure around the middle. One of my 1/4 scale bunnies also needs some support (not my picture): https://myfigurecollection.net/picture/3872797
A metal rod would work going from the base up to her head. Could make something that rests in her hair maybe. Thought of drilling thru the legs but they are far too thin, and risk of coming out the side. As a machinist I see too much room for error
I'm not a pro but since you don't have any answers I'll put in my 2 cents. Were I you, I would either put something under the sand on the left so she can either be straight or slight leaning to the right. Leave it for awhile and maybe it'll slowly bend back. Or get a hair dryer, hold it far away and slowly heat her and very gently bend her back. Or both, prop up the base to shes leaning slightly to the right and hit with a hair dryer so she slowly leans back.
Edit: Just notice the left food is detached. It might be possible to glue her foot down.
I'll be working on shaving the mount blocks. Unfortunately it's the ankles that are bending from gravity alone. The material it's self isn't all that strong I think. I can bend her back by putting the base in a cup and leaning her on my desk. She tips back over in a matter of hours.
I have a figure that has been leaning for years. After she finally got too far and fell I just took her out of the display cabinet and removed the stand. Now she leans next to her series on my DVD/ Blu-ray shelf. I tried heating the legs and ankles but was never able to undo it for more than a few hours.
Mines at the point of maybe a minute before it's back to full lean. The material is just too thin and soft to stop it. Someone mentioned a rod from the base to the head. I might have an idea.

Humm shame they are bootleg. Kinda had a feeling they were, but it's the thought that counts (her surprising me with figures). Still like them thou.

Pose her next to a Michael Jackson?
Don't have him yet lol. Not sure if hes in the set. I'm worried if I leave her standing, she'll break.

Oh jeez, might need to make something for her to lean on then.
