Hey guys! I'm not quite sure if this has happened to others but my Mattel Shop Elite 19 Kane just got dropped off by the mail man and upon opening I noticed a couple issues. The legs seem extremely loose and wobbly. The ankles joints as well seem like they're about to pop off if any pressure gets placed on them. I have over 300 figs and this is the first time this has ever happened to me. Is there any kind of fix?

Seems like every Kane from Elite 19 has that problem. As for the fix, I don't mind really loose leg joints ( If the figure can stand ) IMPO Loose leg joints are MUCH better in comparison to extremely tight leg joints.

To be honest this is why I bought the B23 instead of the basic. Kane isn't the type of guy who should have loose joints. I don't mind guys like Rey and Kofi and Cara because they're flexible in real life and guys like Kane are not. I usually prefer elites to any basics but that's not the case with Kane. I'm still trying to figure out if I prefer Brodus in Elite or Basic form.

I have both the basics and the elites of those figs you just mentioned and the elites are definitely more on the loose side than the basics for some reason. But the kane I just got doesnt even hold a pose on the Mattel individual or the deluxe stands unless I have someone in the back holding him up. Hopefully it gets fixed later down the line. Sucks cuz I really love this figure and all the detail thst went into him!

I've seen this on here a lot, but my E19 Kane is just fine. They must have fixed the problems on later batches released to retail.

While my Kane and HBK both had easier to move hips than past figures. (the ones you needed to pop under hot water) I find they are still tight enough to hold any pose I put them in.

Add a dab of super glue to the joint and move it until the glue drys it should tighten it up =]

Yeah same for me, a pain to cause it makes animating with it so much harder.

It's a mystery to me how e12 Kane is fine but this e19 version is loose like this. Both bodies are very similar.
