I just got my elite Finn balor and i can't get his arms to bend because they won't bend in at the elbows . I don't want to snap the darn arm off .... Is there a reason for this ? Has this ever happened to you ?

Mine was the same way. Heat them up with a hair dryer and then try to move them.

My Godfather did that. It's the deco in that area. Godfather's was tat work, Finn's would be his paint app.

Yeah, I had to heat them up to get them soft and it still took a little effort but they finally popped loose and would move after that. I think the paint caused it to stick.

I just blow dried it for like a minute and then i put a lot a stress into trying to get em to bend and no luck . Is it ok if I blow dry em for longer ? Blow dryer won't wreck anything on the figure right ?

Boil a cup of water for like a minute and then dip it for a few minutes and it should be soft, then bend.

Just use a little force and it'll be fine.

Put it in the oven for 20 minutes. The whole elbow will melt back into place. Problem solved.

My Finn elbow also didnt move.
You know what I did used something called elbow grease and got it unstuck because of the paint.
Didnt need google or to call the fire department or make a topic.

Good for you buddy . If I put any more stress on the figure the arm would have broken off . Is it really necessary that 99% of people online are sarcastic pricks ? |

This applies to whether you heat the parts or not. If you held the figure by the upper are and then put a little force to bending the elbow joint the arm wouldn't have any stress on the shoulder to risk breaking. When working a stuck/tight joint also hold the two closest parts to the articulation point. Example if it is a stuck elbow you hold the upper arm and forearm so all the stress/force will be focused on the elbow. Just so you know for future reference.

Some people are sarcastic pricks just to do it. Others are tired of seeing the same stuff over and over and over and over. Some, like myself are always astonished at how many things are asked that can be answered with 2 minutes of searching on the internet. |
