I've been reading about everyone's problem with the loose ankle joints on the Elite figures so I'm posting this thread to help those "figures in need" stand up straight and pose correctly. This may be an old trick for some and maybe new to others. Maybe you heard about it before, but you never tried it. Anyway, first you need superglue. I use a Loctite Super Glue tube with "extra time" and a "goof proof precision tip" that i get at K-Mart. You then take your Elite Undertaker or Elite Randy Orton and place a tiny bit of glue in the front part of the ankle joint and do the same in the back of the ankle joint. You need to move the foot around for like 10 - 15 minutes right after to make sure you don't glue the foot. Let it sit for a few minutes and move it around again. Do one foot at a time to make sure there's no screw-ups. You may have tiny white "glue flakes" crust up a little bit in the joint after it drys. Don't worry about that, just take a safety pin or toothpick to it and scrape it off. Your figure will then pose perfectly so you can fully take advantage of their articulation when you're playing with them or just posing them for display. The super glue forms an kind of an extra layer within the joint making it tighter for the figure and easier to stand up. Thanks for reading. I hope this helps if you have any "figures in need."
