Just curious, has anyone found any loose ankle in the latest WWE Elite series 17? Have they solved it? And have you found any difference in the ankles?

I'm still getting figures with loose ankles.
My Elite 16 Ezekiel Jackson has a really loose right ankle.
Every figure in the Best of PPV Elites (Bret, HHH, Cena, Bryan) have at least one bad ankle.
I don't know about Elite 17 because I don't have anybody from that set yet, but hopefully they fix this soon.

I opened my elite 8 sheamus yesterday, both ankles were loose.
So it doesn't fall, I have the top torso pulled back a bit to balance it.
It doesn't look that weird, since he's holding the lead pipe above his head.

The loose ankles and stains on figures have to be the 2 most annoying things that I wish mattel would fix already

My Elite 2 Randy Orton is the only figure I've ever had from Mattel with loose ankles. My last figure was Elite 16 Punk, and I've picked up quite a few basic and Elite figures inbetween with no issues.

They overdid it. My E17 Kofi, you cant even move his damn ankles now. First they were too lose, now they're too tight :/

Hope all Zeke's are not like that. I just ordered one from RSC Monday from there labor day sale, and it should be here Saturday. I too get tired of the loose ankles problems. Like Sheamus and Cena seem to be the worse. Then you keep buying new ones hoping to finally have one with just right articulation only to find out its just as bad, if not worse. |

The new E17 Cena is great. Otherwise crazy glue can fix loose ankles.

Theads like this are useful in confirming for me that I made the right decision when I chose to be a Basic-only collector. Bash Basics all you want for being plain. At least they can stand. This problem has gone on for way too long.

I dunno why they don't just use Basic boots on Elite figures. It's been almost 3 years and the ankles are still loose on most Elites.
I mean, is the "extra articulation" of being able to BARELY swivel the ankle side to side worth the loose ankles?
Bottom line, Mattel, stop screwing around and either fix the Elite ankles, or just use the Basic boots. I'm tired of buying brand new broken figures.
I'm also not sure why Mattel made it so Basic and Elite boots are NOT interchangeable. This really pisses me off that I can't just take Basic boots and put them onto Elite figures. WHY did Matte make it so the pieces don't fit!
