BO2012 Brodus Clay quality issue! Dec 15, 2012 5:18:20 GMT -5

Post by ClassicCollector on Dec 15, 2012 5:18:20 GMT -5

Although I am a MOC collector, I decided to open up my spare BO2012 Brodus Clay today. However, when I took him out of the blister, I just couldn't get him to stand straight properly. Well, here's the reason why, as his left leg (lower leg/ankle joint) is just messed up:

At least his right leg is okay:

Any suggestions on how to fix this (without actually breaking it)? I already tried pushing the ankle up, but that just doesn't work, as it looks like the joint is just placed (drilled) incorrectly inside his left white boot.

Thanks

If you can't get it to sit right, RKO it.

Those can come in handy when you have a figure that won't stand on its own. My Dusty Rhodes was so bad that I had to use a stand in each foot.

If not, I hope you find a way that works effectively. Sorry to hear that though.

The legs are a straight all around. When the boot is swiveled it looks disfigured. It's the same mold used for Chris masters and the RRH Ultimate Warrior.

The left boot on mine was stuck, too. Thankfully, it loosened up after I torqued it a little bit...I have other issues with it, though: he's got traces of what looks like super glue running down his legs and his right knee was stuck like it was glued in. Managed to work that out, too, but it's kind of bothersome when glue is getting into places it isn't used.
