It's called an isolated incident. Sure does suck a few of you have had an issue, but unless a high percentage of this certain figure has this happen. It's not a qc issue. Mass produced items have issues happen. I understand the anguish of getting a figure that breaks, but I wish there was a higher understanding of qc issues. Can't really say it is an isolated incident when 5 different people in this thread[so far] got samoa joe with the same problem.

The quality of these figures has taken a huge hit these last couple years and doesn't seem to be getting any better. I'm super paranoid about every single figure I order offline now due to the laundry list of possible flaws it could have and that's a crappy feeling Mattel is making its customers feel.

5..... now how many of this figure has been made? 5... Thousand plus Considering we know it takes 5k for a run of an exclusive figure.... I'd like to think that they make more of a regular series...... so 5 out of all that... hmmmm

My Joe's left hand is extremely loose as well. Honestly the quality of Elites has been going down IMO. I also got the RSC Jericho recently and his left arm is loose as can be without falling off As the quality declines, the prices rise.

Like everyone else has said...really seems like QC has gone down considerably. And as the figs get older they seem to fall apart.

Thats because Mattel and many other companies use a cheaper plastic for higher profits. It seems like anything that is moved in the joints from E1-E8 breaks. So, these figures won't be around in another 10 years. I have Original Star Wars figures that have paintbthat isn't sticky, yet E1 Taker's legs have a ressidue coming from his legs. MVP headband, Cena's armbands, and the Nexus armbands have all split appart, just from sitting where they are supposed to be displayed on the figure. Long term QC issues like this have kept me as only a High-End buyer. Hot Toys, Sideshow, Mezco's One:12 is my focus now. They have had issues in the past, but nothing since the DX 11 Batman. 4 years ago.

Couldn't you replace the arm for an easy fix? I understand how frustrating that is overall but lucky it wasn't the upper arm to where you have to crack the torso.

Idk where you guys keep your figures that they are breaking
I own the majority of the elites from the first 1-10 series and they are all in fine shape

Super easy fix. If you know how to swap. Get a lower arm that's the same skin tone and replace the do hickie joints inside the palm of the hand. And boom your all good.

Mine has a loose hand as well and white marks all over the right arm. Thankfully it's on the back so it's less noticeable. Either way for $20 a figure this is getting ridiculous. I honestly think Mattel is just rushing these out which I have said for years now Mattel does. That is usually why things like this happens. It's ridiculous for anyone to think this isn't a QC issue when someone in this thread has three and they all have poor QC. Maybe it'll be fixed by the time they hit Amazon/retail but this is getting a little ridiculous how common this is becoming.

In the first couple of years there were quite a few figures that had bad leg articulation, but it hasn't been much of an issue since around 2012. I hope it isn't coming back.

I've got several figures from 2010 or 11 and they're all fine
