I picked up Elite 3 Christian today at Target. My first impression is that it is a great figure with great details. What I didn't like was how flimsy the figure seemed to be. Almost wobbly, where all of the basic figures I have aren't that way. This will likely steer me away from Elites in the future.
Have any of you experienced this?

I only have one Elite which is Ted and I don't have a problem with it being wobbly or anything

Yeah, Christian and Cena's feet I was looking at at one point and it's just ridiculous. They look like they're hanging by a thread. It could definitely be stronger there...

Their a bit wobbly, but sturdily enough compared to other figures who have that same kind of articulation (Ex. Marvel Legends, Spiderman, etc...). I'd prefer Elite to Basic on most figures.
But Tom is right, their feet is what needs to be sturdier. But Dibiase and Christian both have that problem.

I may have to try a different one then, I am considering Shawn Michaels, hopefully it won't be as wobbly.

I have only one elite fig: Edge.  Feel the same way you do. That's why I've decided only to collect basic figs. |

With the exception of Miz & Truth I have 2 of every Elite and only the Christian figures are wobbly (in the hips) But they still both stand fine.

Fortunately, the Christian I have stands up just fine, but when picked up, he is very shaky.

Just got my Christian fig this morning and the only problem I have is that his left ankle is a little loose. Not as bad as My Elite 2 Batista though. The Elite 3 Miz I picked up this morning does have a slightly warped left ankle which I may exchange.

I only have one Elite figure so far and that is the Elite Orton.. And yeah, the ankle part on my Elite Orton is also kinda loose, so its difficult to stand him up straight as he will tend to fall forward..
