I noticed lately that some Basic Figures have crooked feet. Has anyone else out there had this problem? By the way I don't need to know how to fix the feet.

What do you mean crooked feet? I think he means that they're not actually flat to the ground. I have a few figures like this, including the TLC Wade Barrett I got today. I think it's because the calves are warped so the leg suddenly bends to the side instead of going straight down. |

What do you mean crooked feet? I Mean by the foot is bent inward on the figure so in order for the figure to stand up properly you would need to put it on a display stand. To add to that the bottoms of the feet are sometimes a little uneven. |

Like they pigeon toed? If so you do know the boots turn at the top? If that's not what you meant can you take a pic? I know I have a couple DCUC that have sort of melted/warped feet, but nothing with the WWE

I know I have a couple DCUC that have sort of melted/warped feet, but nothing with the WWE He doesn't mean pigeon toed. More like a reverse club foot. The knee, calf or boot is warped so the leg goes out sideways and the boot isn't flat to the floor. The inside edge of the boot's sole will touch the ground before the rest of the sole does and the figure has trouble standing straight. |

My Mark Henry and Shawn Michaels figures are like that. |

I think the plastic trays causes some warped legs. Then most figures are posed in an awkward position inside the tray. How many people buy a figure because it was coolly posed in the package?

That Could be a factor causing warped legs. I Think That this is a quality control issue that Mattel should be dealing with. |

When I have a figure with messed-up legs, I usually have them straddle a bottleneck slide for a couple of days. Most of the time, they wind up perfectly straight by themselves by doing so.

I have a few figures that suffer from crooked feet. Both basic 6 and TT1 Ted Dibiase gets the awards off the top of my head.

I mean the soles of the feet sometimes have arches in them so they don't stand up.

Like I said above a few days ago I've never had that problem with a WWE figure but I have had a couple DCUC figures that had a melted foot where the boot is curved inward.
