Finally got around to opening my Elite 52/53 New Day today. Kofi's chest joint is suuuuuuper floppy. It's not the end of the world because his vest keeps him pretty stable but still...annoying. Is this a widespread issue like the Revivial arms or is it worth taking another shot at him since he and Xavier tend to keep dipping real low in price on Amazon?

I only owned that figure for a short time, but the chest joint was fine on it. It looks like you were just unlucky, so yeah - another one should be ok.

If you're wanting a cheap fix, use a drop of super glue in the joint. Keep moving the joint back and forth until the glue dries. It should stiffen it back up. But only use a drop or two.

I purchased 4 Shamrock’s from E 52 and 3 of them were really loose with the waist joint. I thought that was really bizarre considering none of the other figures ever purchased since 2014 did this.

Happens all the time with me. I think the chest joint and waist have to be the most annoying to fix to be honest. What you could try and do is stick a bit of cotton or napkin with a toothpick and it should fix it a bit. Maybe a piece of a rubber band as well.

I had 2 of them and both were fine. One had a floppy wrist and a stiff leg and the other's hair was unpainted in the back.

That torso is notorious for having that problem. Every single figure I’ve bought with that torso since I started collecting has been super loose.

I never paid any attention but I did with Shamrock as every one was gonna be a fix up...and every one was spinning in the waist like it was a wind chime.

Sometimes they’re just like that out of the package and sometimes it takes a little while but eventually every one I’ve owned has become loose.
