Hi everyone! One of my Elite figures has a really loose leg, and it goes to all sides very easyly. I've tried to used some glue on the joint which joins the hip with the leg, but it doesn't work... Any other idea? Thanks in advance!

I'm wondering if there's any fix for dodgy legs that are too stiff. My 20-0 Undertaker's right leg won't move very far and feels like it's going to break if I force it. It always moves back into a straight position if I move it. It won't hold any other way. The problem's going to be in the bar or the crotch piece somewhere, so I'm guessing there's nothing I can do.

For your issue run it under hot tap water for a few minutes and it should "snap" the stiffness. I had to do that again for the BoPPV Punk.(the first time I've had a stuck joint since Legends series 4) |

I've had a few stuck joints on legs before (several elite Punks and Kofis, Rick Rude, Goldust, WrestleMania 26 Swagger) but the 20-0 Undertaker feels different, more fragile. I might just bite the bullet at some point and hit the hot water tap... It's just a case of weighing up the fact that I rarely play with the figures so how much do I want to risk it. |

Try popping it in the freezer for 30mins or so. It's a better solution than the hot water is for stuck joints.

If it''s loose, your only option is clear nail polish in the joint or super glue, just be sure to keep moving it so it doesn't fuse it in place.
If it's stuck, Freeze it and move the leg forward and back a few times, then what I do is go from back to forward, then out and down/back in almost a circular motion. then do that same motion but in reverse, this is like running it trough the whole joint cycle.
The reason a hip will stick is poorly trimmed flash before it was assembled so you get rough edges in the plastic that the ball cant pass over to continue moving. Like a small spike of plastic that bends and prevents the ball from spinning.
If freezing doesn't work, try hot tap water, wouldn't use boiling water as it makes all the plastic really soft and that hip bar can twist around and then it's ruined.

So weird my 20 and 0 takers leg started like that then they got ridiculously loose and broke off on me. |
