Picked up an NXT elite Austin Aries earlier this week. Today I finally unboxed it. I took it out, eventually bent the foot and this happened.  I don't know how this stuff passes quality control because the foot wasn't able to bend at all. The whole joint was warped as one piece. I've been seeing some complaints about Aries on here and unfortunately I got the worst end of the stick. So be cautious. EDIT: A buddy of mine just picked up an Aries with a warped boot and his snapped right off as well. So this seems to be an ongoing issue I see. |

That sucks. Maybe try to get a voucher from Mattels customer service. Might not be good for the full value, but might take care of most of it.

Can probably just switch out the ankle joint.

Dang, the heads up is appreciated as this is the first I've heard of this issue. Here's hoping when/if I find one it doesn't have that problem

Like everyone else said, you can probably swap out the boot. Yeah unfortunately I don't have a plain black kick pad that works for him. The only other one I have is for a spare E43 Joe I have. But unfortunately that boot is shorter that the one that's on Aries. Plus I have an E29 Punk that I really don't wanna swap either lol. |

Never force a stuck joint. If it's not moving boil some water soak for a bit, then try and move it. Repeat until it moves.

If you're under the assumption that quality control means they have an army of staff who check each figure by hand you are wrong. They check a sample size and if it pass those checks then they keep making them. I have friends who got the figure and had no issues. It sucks it happened to you though and I hope you get a replacement |

Same mold as TRU PPV elite Daniel Bryan that comes with the t-shirt. The same thing happened to me with that figure.
