Has anyone been able to come up with a way to fix or make the legs less loose? Im pretty disappointed most of the E19 Kane's are like this.

Mine was fine? What exactly is wrong with them that is making the legs loose for people?

The ball joints are very easy to fix as opposed to the horrible socket ones. Run the hip joint under very hot water for about 30 seconds or more and they'll soften up. Then pull them off the ball joint. Find yourself a brush on krazy glue and put a coat of the ball joint. Let it dry fully and do this another 1 to 2 times to your desired tightness.

Mines are loose but it's still able to stand up ok without falling down so not an issue to me.

Some WWE Elite figures have hip joints that are so tight you really have to work them to move them. My elite 19 Kane is looser than most, but not loose by the definition I would give to a defective figure.
So, I'd really just classify them as easier to move, rather than "loose" because my figure stands on its own and the legs don't move on their own when you shake it....it's just not as stiff, rather than "loose".
Great figure though. It was a real pain in the ass getting the hand back on after I took it off to put the elbow pad on though. Almost didn't think I'd be able to get it back on for a while there, but I did.

My Kane figure won't even stand up, his legs are screwed up, my only fix was a dab of hot glue inside the hip joints, it seemed to work.

I don't have Kane but most of the figures that have tights have loose legs. My Elite 16 Slater and my WM28 HBK have loose legs.

This is one of the reasons I prefer basics... I feel like most of my Elite's get loose joints, specifically legs much easier. The basics are much more firm and sturdy.

Mine also has the loose legs. He stands just fine though so it doesn't bother me.

That is why i prefer the Bp 19,Bp22,or Basic 23 kane over E19 joints wise.

My Kane is fine. The hips aren't too tight or too loose. They hold any pose I put him in

I think people are going a bit overboard with this. Ive got two of the figures loose and whilst the legs move easier than other elites, they arent loose enough that they prevent it from standing or make it a fault/defect. The pivot paint in the pelvis must be loose than usual because both the legs move on their hook or whatever it is. Given the whole figure was designed from torso to the calves, its probably because a standard pivot part was used. I really dont see the major issue though. In fact I prefer it because the legs are much easier to move.
