First Mattel figure I have bought in over a year and it's Basic 36 BIG E LANGSTON.. I was excited, got home, opened him up.. Left shoulder joint is stiff, tried to work it out.. Broke off the bicep part.. Popped back in but hung down, super loose.

Took it back, exchanged it for another Big E. Come home.. Same story. Tight shoulder joint, same arm.. And the more I work on it the more loose the bicep joint gets.. Ran it under hot water it didn't do much good..

Does anyone have any idea on what I should do?

No one's ever really gone.

Well MattelDesignTeam, looks like the first product I bought of yours in over a year I'm gonna have to return, again. And there is no replacement sitting on the shelf, because this was the replacement.. Both of them had tight arm joints to the point of being unable to move them.

I was excited about getting back into collecting, but not with products like this.

Also, big deal if the arm is stiff, if your displaying it there is no harm done.
