My Joe arrives tomorrow, I am a huge TNA guy and have been wanting a good Samoa Joe figure for a longtime (Ive been using my Marvel Toys one for far too long), with this being such a large problem I hope mine is alright.

Apart from the looseness some of us are getting with the hand and a few easily fixable paint smudges, it's an absolutely amazing Joe figure. My favorite Mattel figure of the year so far, even over Demon Balor.

I'll take it if you'll send to the UK. I couldn't give a damn about broken arms.

Guys, you got the first run of the figure, of course you are going to run into some issues. That happens with the first run of anything, as the company is rushing to get them out the door.

Aside from op.. Id love to see pics from everyone else that will be crawling out claiming issues with the figure Everything is fine on mine except for the loose left wrist. Can't really take a picture of a loose wrist.

I'm not complaining because it really doesn't bother me too much but I figured I'd add on as it seems to be an issue with this series. I got the Samoa Joe and there was one spot that the paint job looks smudged or something. Actually the red on the shorts on mine just doesn't look that great at all. And the Owens I got had a bad paintjob as well. One spot where it's suppose to be black, there's a white smudge mark.
Like I said, it doesn't even really bother me that much, but just wanted to share.

Overall I'm not pleased with the design of figure. Of course there's always the stuck feet joints or stuck shoulder joints. But what I hate is when the design of figure hinders the figures articulation. The hip joints barely let you lift the leg up. Not even a 45 degree angle. And the knee joints blocked off by the back of shorts. Just small things like that ruin figures playability for me. I don't display. I pose them in the ring but I play with all my figures. And articulation is key. I hear ya man, Joes range of motion for his legs is pathetic. It might be the worst Elite in terms of articulation yet. Unfortunately guys like us that care about this seem to be the minority on this forum so I doubt Mattel is going to notice our displeasure or care about it

I cut off some of the shorts behind the knee. Sanded it down and smoothed it out. So now he's got good movement on his knees.

Still easily my favorite elite of the year so far. It's a really great figure, QC issues aside.
