I just got the AEW scale ring with the Kenny Omega figure. It’s the only AEW figure I have and had some questions about them.
1.) This Kenny’s waist joint and ankle joints are really floppy and loose. Is this normal for AEW figures?
2.) The ratchet joints in the shoulders are ridiculously stiff. Are they all like that?
3.) Kenny’s abdomen feels rubbery and I’m thinking that this is going to get a bit slimy in 5-10 years like the Jakks rubber clothing got. Is Jazzwares still making the current figures with this rubbery ab piece?
Thanks for any insight you can give.

1. Some yes, some no. S1 Kenny was pretty notorious for having difficult ankles. Mine wasn't so bad...in fact, the lower half of my S1 Kenny is still on my display, and I don't think he's ever toppled. I feel like it's not continuous throughout the set, but some are worse than others. My most recent, noticeably loose figure was Luchasaurus. Definitely use a wall to help keep him upright.
2. The earlier sets were stiffly ratcheted, but I feel like they've gotten better as time goes on.
3. My most recent buys are from Unrivaled 5 and Unmatched 1, and the figures I have from each of these sets still have the rubber ab piece. So far it hasn't been a problem, but I did notice some discoloring starting to form on the Cody Rhodes S1A ab piece, similar to the green mark of death on the old LJNs. Haven't noticed this from series 2 onward.

Would like to clarify, some figures are loose but not in the same ways as Series 1 being floppy in the torso and Omega having bad ankles
The early torsos are very rubbery, they are firmer now, whether or not they get sticky and stuff will be discovered as time goes on

I have only had the loose ankle with the series 1 Omega. I haven’t had any with a too loose ab/waist joint.
Stiff shoulders haven’t been an issue. All are tight but still move easily enough.
The rubbery ab is a concern I brought up with series 1. I feel like they’ll dry out a crack over time and or will be a dust magnet. Someone said Magic said that it was tested and wouldn’t happen, but unless he has been using this material for years I don’t know how he can say for certain it won’t happen. So that’s still a major concern of mine in the future. And I think someone here said it was happening to their Series 1 Cody already. (Although I don’t think he provided pics of it)

I think this stuff is all just the (bad) luck of the draw with a bad batch of plastic, OR it has to do with the temperature/humidity of wherever specific people are.
It's like with the John Cena/Undisputed Era armbands....some people say they crack/break on them, other people have NO problem.
If it's not different plastic on some figures, maybe if somebody lives in a super dry area that never has any humidity, maybe it can cause the plastic to dry out/crack/discolor?

I have one of at least everyone so far besides Miro and I've noticed that the quality has been dropping steadily since wave 4. Santana and Ortiz especially feel like Jakks BCA figures because they feel so rubbery. I can't get either to stand because their legs can't support the weight.
