The elite 43 Samoa Joe has a very loose wrist. Im now planning on getting the basic figure as I'm not a fan of part swapping or customising. Therefore does the basic figure have this same wrist problem or is it just the elite? Any help would be appreciated

I'm curious about this too. If consider getting the basic just for an arm swap to correct Mattel's mistake.

It sounds dumb, but why not just pop off the hand, wrap some tape around the peg, and pop it back in? That's what I ended up doing on my second Joe.

It's not for everyone,
But I use mini clear elastic bands.
They so small that when wrapped twice around the waist your can't see them.
You can get 100 for like a doller from eBay.

My elite Joes' hands were nice and tight. But one of his legs was extremely stiff to the point where I had to boil it just to move his leg

Has there ever been a time when more companies have been making wrestling figures at the same time?
