As a predominantly Jakks collector my Mattel pickups are limited to divas mostly, so having got AJ Basic 30 & Rosa Basic 31 today I decided to open the Alicia Fox I got last year for Xmas.
Now the problem I am having is that when I move her around to look at her, the upper half moves back and forth and is really loose, has anybody else had this problem?
I'm pretty gutted as I think the figure is pretty awesome.

It happens with certain diva figures - I don't remember Alicia Fox having that problem, but all the Laylas did.

I have this problem with Jakks Miss Tessmacher figure - one of her arms flops around. It must be a female figure problem.

any way to fix it perhaps?
It doesn't sound broken inside.
Failing that how easy will it be to replace her at a reasonable price or deal?
I am aware obviously she is long gone from retail, so the secondary market is my only hope

My Michelle McCool does the same exact thing, it was like that straight from the package.

I have several figures with loose torsos. I think sometimes we obsess too much over slight imperfections. The figure is probably just loose and will never break and fall a part. If you can hit enough Walmarts, there's a slim chance of finding one, since some are so far behind. Last time I looked Ebay had some carded ones for slightly above $20 shipped.

I am having problems with her too. The fox hood is starting to get black marks on it.

I have a few divas that have this problem but they are still able to hold a pose fairly well. It has to do with the fact that the divas have a balljoint torso

I don't feel that I am "over obsessing" as you put it to be honest bro, I am not saying my figure will break or fall apart but I like my figures to be able to be posed etc and not move around like a bobble head. I am in the UK so am unable to hit Walmart but appreciate your advice on checking out Ebay.

I thought the issue was that you have a Alicia Fox figure.
