It seems pretty stiff on, I'm not sure if it's suppost to be like that on the Edge Elite 1. I don't want to pull too hard and risk breaking an arm or something.
If I'm posting in the wrong place, sorry ahead of time!

Throw it as hard as possible into the ground.
jk.
But seriously, why do they make action figures that are difficult to use?

for both takers and edges coat I used an Xacto blade and cut the back right down the middle. Its pretty easy to take off after that and when you put it back on you can tuck it under there hair and it stays perfectly in place... no joke. Looks fine from the front , just a little gap in the back..  |

I have really taken a liking to Mattel since 1/1/10 and am glad I decided to make the switch from Jakks.
However, if I had one negative thing to say about Mattel it would be that they did severely drop the ball on Edge and The Undertaker's coats in Elite Series 1. Those coats should have either been cloth, or a more pliable plastic.
Hopefully we see Edge and The Undertaker in a future series of Entrance Greats. However, I do feel a bit cheated having paid $14.99 for Elite figures of Edge and The Undertaker where their accessories are unusable except for Takers hat.

The coats used for each superstar are ridiculously hard to remove, and at the price I paid for each, I'm pretty paranoid about trying to take the coats off if I'm going to be wrenching it around. Also, I feel that this applies to the elbow and knee pads as well. Because of the harder plastic Mattel used, it makes articulating the figures a little tricky, I definitely enjoyed Jakks' ones much more. |

Start with one shoulder. Pull that side of the jacket just so you can see the ball joint. This allows for more mobility in that arm. Pull the coat down that arm as far as you can without applying too much force. If you can completley remove the arm from the sleeve then do so. Repeat the process with the other arm.
To put it back on, pull both arms back. Open the coat out and place each hand in the top of each sleeve. Pull it up until it is correctly in position.
I've took the coat off and put it back on numerous times without having to boil the figure, remove any parts or cut the coat and I haven't broke it.
