So I hate the arms that will be on the upcoming randy Orton. Idk about you but every figure I have with those arms are so loose where the connect to shoulder. And looks horrible with his tattoo decal being choppy. So I snagged a super cheap retro randy orton basic and was wondering if anybody would be willing to swap arms for me? I have experience in it but they never come out 100%clean.

You should just be able to heat the arms up at the bicep and switch them out.

Im confused. Whats wrong with the arms? You talking about elite 49? Wouldnt they be the same arms as the WM20 or SS04?

His arms are skinny muscular version. Elite 49 are the bulky muscular ones like the ones found on dolph Ziegler or fandango. |

If all you want to do is stiffen the joint, buy a little pack of dental rubber bands for braces (i dont know what they're called lol) and snap one around the shoulder joint. Just work it in there, it provides rubbery friction and you can't even see it since they're transparent. You could even try the clear bands that hold the figures in the blister pack, wrap one of those in there.
Otherwise, yeah, gotta crack the torso to swap out the shoulder.
