Although I am a MOC collector, I decided to open up my spare BO2012 Brodus Clay today. However, when I took him out of the blister, I just couldn't get him to stand straight properly. Well, here's the reason why, as his left leg (lower leg/ankle joint) is just messed up: At least his right leg is okay: Any suggestions on how to fix this (without actually breaking it)? I already tried pushing the ankle up, but that just doesn't work, as it looks like the joint is just placed (drilled) incorrectly inside his left white boot. Thanks

put int hot water and maneuver it a little and see what happens. If you can't get it to sit right, RKO it.

My elite Brodus' left thigh joint looks like that too.

And also, they don't "drill" the holes in there, they all come out of the mold the same

Do you have any stands that were packaged with older figures? Those can come in handy when you have a figure that won't stand on its own. My Dusty Rhodes was so bad that I had to use a stand in each foot.

Hope you tried some of the methods the other users suggested. If not, I hope you find a way that works effectively. Sorry to hear that though.

It's the boot mold, the design is at an angle. The legs are a straight all around. When the boot is swiveled it looks disfigured. It's the same mold used for Chris masters and the RRH Ultimate Warrior.

Hot water or hair dryer and try to straighten it out.

Try popping it off and trimming the pegs a little.

I recently opened a Clay with that exact problem, Mattel needs to visit those sweat shops in China.

The left boot on mine was stuck, too. Thankfully, it loosened up after I torqued it a little bit...I have other issues with it, though: he's got traces of what looks like super glue running down his legs and his right knee was stuck like it was glued in. Managed to work that out, too, but it's kind of bothersome when glue is getting into places it isn't used.
