What TNA figures have you picked up that just have terrible articulation (Movement of each body part)?
Mine would be...
1. Jeff Jarett (Oh my god..I don't even know where to start. The figure is just ridiculous.....it's so stiff all over and barely budges. The Lower Half of his body doesn't even move at all. It's like frozen.
2. Shark Boy (Figure is so hard to make bend over and move it's legs)
3. The Truth (Legs barely move, knees don't bend well, arms are stiff at parts and loose at other parts)

Well, I agree with Jeff Jarrett.. it just sucks.
However, MY sharkboy and Truth are fine, they move great, and havent given me any problems.
Monty Brown sucks.. He doesnt move, and the parts that do move are dangerously stiff.
Other than those two though, I havent had any problems as far as articulation.

Definitely Jarrett. My Sharkboy was fine, but I had the same problem with Killings.
I had a horror story with Rhino, too. His shoulder joint was so f'ing stiff that I eventually snapped his arm right off. This was before I came across here and found out about the boiling/hot water/hair dryer thing to loosen up the POA's.
Another one was when my Kevin Nash figure's left arm popped out, literally. There's a line down his back where it cracked and everything. A little super-glue solved that problem, but now the shoulder joint's stuck in place.
Also, the 2-Pack Styles/Joe I bought a bit ago had an atrociously hard Styles figure, but Joe only had one problem. It took me a while to get his chest/abdomen POA to move, and when it did, it snapped pretty hard. Works fine now, though.
The Styles figure was beyond stiff my first run-through, though. The upper-knee POA wouldn't move at all, the chest/abdomen wouldn't bend back, and the left shoulder joint was giving me all kinds of troubles. I did the boiling/hot water thing, though, and it works like clockwork now.
Maybe I've just got bad luck with action figures.

I agree with the Jarrett, his legs are not the best but he is generally alright though.
My SharkBoy and Truth were great. Sharkboy has brilliant atriculation as does Truth. Killings' legs are a little stiff i guess but generally good.
I always thought Monty Brown could of been better. His legs arn't as bad as people bitch about them but in general they could of been better i guess.
Worst i say is Konnan. His body doesn't move at all and you really cannot play with him well. James Storm also sucks but thats cos mine broken and i had to glue on a joint.

1. Jarrett
2. Masked Fury Ver1 Sting It's not Super Articulated as it's just a plain re-release of the old WCW Sting with limited articulation.

What TNA figures have you picked up that just have terrible articulation (Movement of each body part)? Mine would be... 1. Jeff Jarett (Oh my god..I don't even know where to start. The figure is just ridiculous.....it's so stiff all over and barely budges. The Lower Half of his body doesn't even move at all. It's like frozen. 2. Shark Boy (Figure is so hard to make bend over and move it's legs) 3. The Truth (Legs barely move, knees don't bend well, arms are stiff at parts and loose at other parts) I don't think you know the meaning of articulation. The figs you mentioned just have stiff joints. Articulation would be how many bend points/joints they have. So, for worst articulation (least points of mobility), I'd have to say James Storm (2-pack). |

So, for worst articulation (least points of mobility), I'd have to say James Storm (2-pack). I agree with you on the first part. But I believe Harris has worse articulation than Storm in the AMW 2-pack. Also Jarret does have bad articulation because of the fact that his action feature is a hinderance to his right hip. I kind of want to say all of TNA series 1 just because I've seen on older figures how useless they can be when the action figure mechanism breaks. |

Jeff Jarrett and A.J. Styles with their Action Features- I HATE ACTION FEATURES.  |

Petey's arms and Blue AJ arms, that button sucks.
Petey's arms are a bit better when I boiled it, but the Blue Aj is unfixable.
