Has anyone noticed some elites having severely warped legs? My series 9 Kofi Kingston was pretty weird and series 12 Justin Gabriel was the same way, but series 12 Randy Orton and series 13 Ziggler are ridiculous. I don't know if the knee joints are twisted to hell or what, but the legs just bend absurdly outwards below the knees. It's irritating to have to do hot water tricks just to make a figure look normal.

My Kerry Von Erich had a warped right leg from the knee down. Only one I have seen though but have heard of a lot.

It's like the lower leg is set at a different angle than the upper leg. So frustrating. My macho king has it, how do you fix it anyway? I just heat it and bend the lower leg/knee joint inwards. It's not too successful, but it is a bit better. |

yeah same with my Justin Gabriel, I heated it in hot water but didn't really work.

When I got Elite 2 Batista, the legs were almost S-Shaped but I did the hot water trick and fixed them. I've noticed that this normally happens when figures are delivered to my house and sit out in the cold. The only figure I've never successfully remedied was Sgt. Slaughter. I had to buy a new one bc its leg was so bad.

both my Rick The Model Martel & Cowboy Bob Orton have warped legs. My E13 Dolph had lower warped legs but they've straightened out since I've had him. I have a ton of basics with warped lower legs. My figure count is about 400 so it's going to happen.

Hot water (boiling) then get the legs how you want them - then FREEZE them and they should then hold up (let them thaw out before moving them too much).
Works every time for me.
