I just opened my Damien Sandow Elite 22 figure, and found that the upper torso is extremely loose. Is there any way to fix it? He flops up and down just by gently rocking him back and forth.

My E14 Del Rio is like that as well  he has the same torso. However my E22 Sandow doesn't have that problem. I think I've heard people say putting glue in it. I'm not sure. |

I really hate it when I get a figure like that.
It ruins the figure for me a bit.
I've had a Cena (new style), Lesner, Bob Orton like that...it's a shame.

My E20 CM Punk is like that. It sucks even if I just display them.

I'm guessing that little stopper in the torso could be bent or missing, which has happened to me. I don't know if you know how to open torsos to check, but I would think if you could you would have already done so.

Try to get an even exchange at the retail store you bought it from.

It happens with elites man. Myy E21 Rybacks torso is loose as hell. As was my E12 Del Rio, but my E21 Del Rios torso is fine. Its luck of the draw I suppose..

Unfortunately, it is just an isolated problem as my Sandow is just fine. I have gotten a few figures in the past though that had super loose torsos. I don't know how to fix it, maybe placing it in hot water and then putting it in the freezer afterwards will tighten it, that works on ankles sometimes, but I've never seen the inside of a torso before, so I don't know how it's put together.

I've had this problem with Damien, along with various other Elites. I googled on how to fix loose Elite figures, and i found an answer that if you fold small pieces of paper hot dog style, use a small safety pin of some sort, and just shove the pieces of paper in the torso cracks (stuff as many as you can/whenever the figure stops flopping). This fixed my Damien and the other Elites like a charm. Hope this helps for everyone.

I know it sounds a little bit weird, but I put some pieces of paper inside te torso, and maybe a little bit of glue

My Sandows legs were extremely loose when I got it, bit annoying but I've not had to many problems with elites. Some of the stories on here are pretty bad though.

I used to insert a push rubber band (the ones used for braces) inside the torso with a toothpick. It also helps with loose waists, what you do is move the torso sideways, insert the rubber band over the figure. Afterwards spin the torso while pulling the rubber band and it should start pulling the rubber band inwards and tighten the torso. Any extra pieces of the rubber band could easily be cut off with a scissor.

Mine has the same problem. I'll definitely try some of these.
