This has been one of my biggest issues with the Mattel line since day one. Maybe I'm just doing something wrong or someone else has found a fix for it, but does anyone else have trouble getting the figures to put their arms down?
It seems like most of my figures' arms only go down to about a 45 degree angle. Some of them have one shoulder joint that seems to go down better than the other. If you force it, it feels like you're just pushing the bicep piece away from the peg, instead of getting to the root of the issue near the torso.
Has anyone ever come up with a solution for this?

I've found it to be more of an issue lately, almost all of them come with very stiff shoulders, broke the arm peg of my LL HBK trying to get it down. Hot water works well. With that big GAB Sting torso it's a mess though. There's also one or more of the torsos that is ever so slightly bigger on their right side, so that the left arm goes down more flush with the body than the right.

Always thought that. I think it hampers the playability of the nattel line.

A lot of figures I get will have stuck shoulders. 45 seconds under hot water does the trick.

I've not tried hot water, but it seems to me that the torsos on some figures, like the surfer Stings, prevents the arms from going down all the way.

My elite AJ styles problem has this issue. I'm gonna be boiling it later today. It usually works pretty easily.

The arms on my HOF 2-Pack Warrior seem like they don't want to go down.

Only with the Batista torso being used on Surfer Sting figures. The torso hinders the left arm's downward movement.
