I've been through 2 elite Samoa Joe figures already. The first one I bought, the left hand was completely beat to hell in the box for some reason. Completely fell apart when I got it out of the package. The second one I bought has extremely loose legs, like scary loose. I wonder if anyone else has experienced problems with this Joe because I've been through 2 already.

I did have an issue with my Joe's left hand - it appears that the wrist cavity is too large and deep for the peg of the hand. I basically had to replace both his forearms in my parts bin to get the proper wrist cavity. I think it's a manufacturing error for that part.

My Joe only had loose wrists. I swapped them out with a Basic Joe's arms and now it's fine.

Yeah mine had super loose hands. I think most people's did. I remember having to search through loads of them to find one with acceptable paint on the shorts too
Gonna buy the new Basic with the updated scan when it comes out and put the head and arms on my Elite

Mine has a stuck swivel thigh joint from the red paint. I can't move it at all. And of course a loose left wrist. Right wrist is fine.
1/2 of every figure I buy in the past two years have had very loose hand hinge joints, though. It drives me crazy. All the figures from 2012-2014 have very tight hands and tight torsos. They must've changed manufactures because I have way more problems with joints now. It doesn't help if they're packaged with their hands bent in pose.

Yeah, he's a dud. Mine has the limp wrist left hand and his head is too low and his swivel at the waist is like a top. It's like the Red Tornado Super Powers figure, his legs just spin and spin. I'm hoping the Exclusive is better quality.

I'm scared to buy another Joe fig because of the loose wrist issue. I'm not really one for DIY projects

I've never had a single QC issue in all my years of buying aside the average black smudge here and there or a paint app that was a little off. |

On of the shoulders on mine wasn't inserted into the torso properly. It is jammed in there causing the torso not to be sealed right. It looks real awkward. The arm still moves fine, it just looks janky. I always had the shirt on him so I didn't notice until significantly after I purchased it. I don't play with my figures so it doesn't bother me.

A dab of superglue does wonders How do I apply it? If our talking about his legs are loose. Where the ball joints are at his pelvis. A single drop on each side. Do one at a time. And keep rotating his leg. spk |

Mine had very limp wrists. Yours can probably throw a really good javelin. Signed, Lamar Latrelle |
