So I posted earlier about how my Elite Jericho had a right leg that was "rubber band like" and wouldn't stay up in a big boot position. That leg eventually became so loose it broke right off.
I went to Target today and saw they had a purple and blue Elite Jericho so after some debate I bought another blue one and it had the EXACT same issue. The right leg was so stiff it would hardly move. I took it home and tried the hot water treatment but it just got really loose to the point where I thought it was going to fall off like the last one. I ended up taking it back and exchanging it for Elite Jericho (purple) which is 100% fine. All arms and legs work great.
Go figure (pun intended). Either way, in the end I ended up spending about $30 for purple Chris Jericho between the two figures...had I not returned the second one it would've been even more.

Sorry to hear that. Jericho's my favorite wrestler of all time, so naturally I want the blue version but to this day I still can't find it..it would make a nice JerichoShow display with my e4 Show and e10 belts. When I originally bought e4 I opted for the purple variant since he wore that attire during his ladder match with Michaels.
Does it look ok with both legs standing upright on a flat surface (like most elites, can the ankles bend well enough to support it)? If so I'd still buy the problematic blue version for a fair price.

It very well could be a rare problem. I haven't seen anything posted on here about it but then again the figure isn't a new release either. I only collect Elite/Legends and never had an issue with any of them...only Jericho. I'm not positive which color is more rare. I've found 3 blue ones and 1 purple ones and that's all I know. Hopefully you guys don't have the same issue I had!

my Jericho is fine too i just walked out too my ring too see if his legs did that too but nope there fine and i have the blue variant as well. But yeah like i said before i do have this prob with my rick rude and a couple others. Scares me you tried that water treatment and it didnt work ha so that makes me think are ppl just bullcrapting on here or did you maybe hold it under too long or something? idk, i wanted too try it but now i would rather keep his legs stiff lol

I have been going through issues with DC universe , Do the hot water treatment and then put in the freezer for about 5 minutes.
I freed 4 figures with stuck legs and or arms. It worked even on my daughters hawkgirl which has thinner legs.

The freezer made the leg post stronger for a time , it must be hung up on paint or glue.

my blue E4 Jericho has always had that same problem. i got a little forceful with it, thinking it just needed to be stretched a little. Luckily it didn't break, but it looks as if the right leg is coming out of the pelvic joint. Since i don't play with them a whole lot, i mostly display, i've opted to retire him to the "Legends" shelf wich is strictly for display only. Kind of a bummer but them's the brakes i guess.
