I've opened up elite 6 today and a couple of them -- Punk and Goldust especially -- have awful leg articulation. The legs will move up slightly, but they won't stay that way. They just "spring" back down to straight. Very difficult to pose them when they're like this, for example my elite 1 CM Punk can be posed like this:  But the elite 6 is only flexible enough for a shin kick. And I was hoping to pose Goldust similar to:  Which shouldn't be a problem for an elite without kneepads, but the legs on this one just don't allow for it. Anyone else had this problem and fixed it? |

I think you just got the new flex force instead.  |

Just heat up some water then place the legs in there for about 30 seconds to a minute after that they should be a little loose so move them around then let it cool so that the legs plastic hardens just a bit then you should be fine.

I just got a legends 2 pack and the Sheik figure that came with it had the same problem and I had to boil him twice. WHat I do is I boil them for about 5-10 seconds take them out shake them off move the leg back and forth then run them under cold water and keep moving the joint.

Elite Punk's legs are still bad ?? Damn.. I have Series 1 but not 6 yet. But i know the series 1 punk his knees are impossible to move. But i would think the series punk would be better cause of the softer knee pads

Yes that happened with my Elite 1 Punk and most of the Legends 2-Packs...but two minutes under hot tap water corrected it.

Elite 6 is the first time I've had this problem. But with everyone, literally everyone but JTG. Its ridiculous. And its all the left leg.

Use a hair dryer. I fixed my Finlay, Punk, and Goldust (whose legs only went up to about shin height). Now the Punk is perfect, The Finlay is perfect, and one of Goldust's legs is perfect.

My Elite 1 Rey and Elite 3 Christian were like that. But, after some movement, they were fine.

Im afraid to do the water thing because Im afraid that it will take some of the paint off.

Im afraid to do the water thing because Im afraid that it will take some of the paint off. wont hurt the paint at all. completely safe. i do it all the time with my stiff elites. i actually got all of elite 6 except matt hardy and all of their legs were fine. thats like the first time in forever i havent had to do the water thing. btw can someone sticky a thread about how to fix this problem? the problem keeps happening and it seems like every few days there is a new thread about it. someone should sticky a thread with the solution so that people can get the quick answer and not have to create a new thread about it then wait around for someone to answer |
