So I'm almost done building Paul Heyman (awaiting Bryan in the mail). I've built him waist up and I'm experiencing an issue. The right shoulder pops in and out the socket way too easily. Its very loose and I don't even have to apply pressure for it to pop out. It's frustrating. Any suggestions or anyone experiencing the same issue?

I'm having the same issue. Can't get the thing to stay in. It pops RIGHT OUT, and I've popped it into place properly...the other arm is fine.

Guys aren't the only one.. Been having that problem not once but twice :/ I had this issue with Johnny Ace as well, but I was able to fix it at least by boiling it. That hasn't worked with Heyman, I'm gonna try again on my day off.

Its dissapointing since I've spent so much time trying to get these figures, idk what to even do. I really don't want yo buy another cena just to replace the torso. Because the shoulder socket is the problem because its too big.

I had the same issue with a Ricardo BAF. Every time I move the left arm it falls off. Has anyone tried putting a small dot of superglue on it to see if it will stick but still allow rotation?

I just put a glass of water in the microwave for 3 minutes, until its boiling...take it out, put the torso in the water...let it sit for a minute or so and then pop the arm in. The torso usually cools and hardens around it, but then it eventually just pops out for whatever reason.

I had to glue Teddy Long and Michael Cole's arm because I got 2 left's respectively. It doesn't allow it to move from the shoulder joint, but it really wasn't that big of a deal for me to have it in one position.

I sure hope mine isn't like that but if it is, I'll figure something out to make it work!

Sucks to hear that this is a problem. I wish they'd up the quality control on the figures, though I'm sure that'd add even higher prices. But with the Build a Figures it's especially annoying because of the price already. In UK prices, a standard elite is £17.99 at Toys R Us (actually cheaper at many Toys R Us but that's the official price)... A BOPPV elite is £24.99. So you're paying an extra £7 per figure, x 4 = £28 for the build a figure. And then it comes with an arm that keeps falling off, or a slug on its head.

Same happens to my BAF Ricardo. Right arm pops off. I can avoid it by holding in the shoulder-ball while moving it upwards.
