Just wanted to note that,
I'm kinda glad Mattel is using the ball joint on the newer elite figures, the other joint which is on the CM punk figures or even on e19 Bryant is the one I've had the most problems with stuck legs with.

I have the same problem with my Elite 19 D-bry. My Kanes legs are so loose though.....

Ball joint? Did they change the hop joints?

I noticed it was easier to move the legs on Kane, HBK, and Lesnar. Didn't know they had changed the joints. D-Bry is tough to move though. Kind of like the original elites that had the overly tight joints.

Agree, I really like the loosening in the legs now

I thought my E19 HBK had some very loose legs. Hope this is the reason why

I can't move the feet on my D-Bry up and down. Any suggestions ? heat solves pretty much all immobility issues. hold a blow dryer on it for a minute or run it under hot water that'll get it going

I display my figures standing up, and don't move them around very much. Loose leg joints are my biggest pet peeve. I hope this doesn't ruin elites for me going forward. Otherwise, I'll just solely be a MOC Flashbacks collector from now on.

My HBK's hips are fine, but I can't move his ankles (other than the side pivots) I'll have to heat them tomorrow

I just hate when the figures look bow legged. Looking like they got off a horse.

The hips on Kane and Lesnar are super loose for me

Not sure what you mean by new ball joint. My E19 HBK has the same hip articulation design as all the past series

Out of the four figures I received Lesnar, Kane, HBK, and Ziggler...Kane is the only one that has loose legs. The other three are fine. And Kanes is actually not bad..just on the looser side which I don't like but they are secure and he has no problem standing.
