My wrestlingworld order arrived, so I've now got my hands on my first non-FlexForce Mattels. But I have a problem - elite Edge has no waist articulation at all. Just completely locked. I've put it in boiling water, which loosened up all of the leg articulation incredibly, but still nothing on the waist. There's no give whatsoever. Any ideas?
I can't even slide piece of paper in between the stomach and the top of the tights, which makes me think the top half of the figure is completely glued on to the bottom half.
On a sidenote, the faces look so much better in person than in photos. I hadn't been impressed by the pictures of the Edge and Punk faces, but in person they are superb.

It must be a problem with yours because I have Elite Edge (also from Wrestling World) and the waist is fine. It's understandable you don't want to force it because it could break, but maybe applying a little more pressure will make it work.

Yeah I'm not sure about putting too much pressure on. I can get by without the waist articulation, but a broken figure would be a disaster. I was starting to wonder if the Edge figure just didn't have articulation there, but it must be an error with mine.

Thant sucks. It could have fuesd together. I've had a couple DCUC that had that happen to the shoulder.

I've contacted Wrestlingworld about it so hopefully I can get a replacement. The rest of my order (Elite Punk, Undertaker, Mysterio and the Glamarella two-pack) was fine, I love the figures. Santino is giving Build and Brawl series 1 Undertaker a run for its money as my favourite wrestling figure ever.

You might try contacting Mattel. They won't send you a new figure, but they have been know to send a coupon/voucher for you to get a replacement at your area store.

My Jericho had exactly the same problem. I tried the freezer trick for 30 minutes or so but it made no difference.
I knew it would bug me too much to not have waist articulation so eventually i ended up forcing it and it's fine now. Honestly, I felt it was likely to break but luckily it didn't.

I've tried twisting it pretty hard but it feels like the ab joint and the hip joints will snap before anything happens with the waist cut. Wrestlingworld said they will send me another if I send this one back to them so it should work out alright.
