Sorry but these are just terrible and I wish I had of knew in advance which figures had it so i could have saved myself some money. So if anyone can recall which figures have the fidget spinner waists, please list here. Off the top of my head:
Erick Rowan (first elite)

My new HBK Wrestlemania elite does and I think others have said the same.

What is a fidget spinner waist!? I think he means a super loose waist that just spins. And honestly l have never gotten a Mattel figure with a loose waist. I have gotten a few with either a loose or tight ankle or loose or tight shoulder, but never a waist. |

My elite Ken Shamrock is way loose and spins with ease.

My RSC Edgehead had the spinner waist problem but it was probably just mine? I don't think my one loose Edgehead means they're all loose but could be wrong.

I don’t think it’s a set type of figure is it?, it’s just random based on the manufacturing processes at production level. Now and again, a figure doesn’t get put together quite right. It’s luck of the draw I imagine.
I’ve had issues now and again with all types of figures with all different types of torsos.

I've never had fidget spinner waists, but my Blue-tista's waist is completely stuck. Won't turn at all, tried a hairdryer and hot water.
NS Jinder Mahal and NXT Scott Dawson both have spinner arms tho, loads of figures have tight ankle joints that won't move without hot water, and E78 R-Truth has super loose knees. Besides those few extreme cases, I've been pretty lucky and had good articulation.

The first Braun Elite was so bad, I remember being able to spin the torso just by picking it up...swiftly sorted it out with a rubber band though

That's weird. I've never gotten any spinning waist figures. Aside from paint defects,my Mattel issues usually revolve around loose ankles, loose biceps swivel, and the occasional loose shoulder....but I've never had a waist issue. I've had a handful of loose ab crunches, but I can usually ram some cotton up there and resolve it.

I don't think I've ever gotten a spinner waist. My biggest problems are either seized joints or loose ankles. Good HEAVENS I have so many bad ankle joints. I very rarely find any figure with perfect feet. With the Elites, either the feet don't move or they won't stop moving. And basics? I've had a bunch where the feet are just wonky and the one foot is off from the other. It's so dang frustrating.
My hurricane elite also has a fuzed torso, so someday I need to try and sort him out with a hairdryer.
But as for waists? No, don't think it's ever happened for me. And really? I don't believe it's necessarily a problem with a particular figure. It isn't like the Cena knee issue where the parts choices make a joint bad. I think it's more a case of some bad figs get sent out and you just have to deal with them.
