Maybe soak them in boiling water for a while for them to loosen up? Its funny how I've never encountered these problems with stiff joints. I always have problems with loose ankles tho. E12 Bryan, E11 Cena, E11 Miz, E2 Orton just to name a few with loose ankles.. Tried super glue but it didn't work..

I still haven't had a bad figure yet with broken limbs, etc. I guess I'm lucky.

yea i tried the hot waer.....its only elite figs that im having the prob with sorry i didnt put that at first.......i had some loose ankles too but i just glue them and move the ankle as its drying to create a ruff surface to hold it somewhat.....i wish i can fix these leg joints.....it the piece that goes through the "trunks" section that holds the legs together.....its brutal i just found a couple more that are on the verge of falling off.

I have every single Elite and DM, most Legends, and about 200+ Basics, and have not had a single figure break yet.

Sucks man.

I haven't had a leg fall off an elite figure yet, but I expect it will be soon because I'm pretty sure some of mine are just bending the plastic rather than turning the joint. I think Mattel really needs to look at quality control and the manufacturing process or designs of these figures, I've had a ton with joints too stiff or loose. To the point where if I get a figure where all the articulation is right, it becomes my favourite figure.

I haven't had any problems. But I know what you are talking about. Some of mine make an almost clicking sound when you move the legs.
Do y'all who have broken legs play with your figures? I don't play with mine... I'm wondering if that's why mine haven't broke.

I haven't had this problem, either. I have pretty much every Elite and Legend now (doubles for some fix ups, too).
Very bad string of luck, guy.

I play  and all the ones that have broken for me have been like that since I got them, usually break whilst I try to fix with the hot water like. The rest are fine. I broke an Elite Y2J an Austin. My WM Swagger has the same problem as well but I don't want to risk breaking it. |
