So, I got two Dude Love figures. Neither one can bend their legs at the hip. It's like they're fused. None of the Mankind or Cactus Jack figures I have seem to have this problem, but both Dude Loves do. One of the Dudes' leg snapped right off right out of the box. I barely put any pressure trying to bend the leg and it snapped like it was nothing.
Has anyone had a problem with their Dude figure?

Mines got a floppy foot that stops him from standing. One of my biggest peeves with the line

My Dude Love had the same problem. I just placed him in warm water, then bent his legs forward and kept it like that for sometime. Now I can bend his legs forward no problem.
Funny thread title btw haha

Boil it! Seriously though I've had about a dozen or so out of my 200 Mattel's have the fused hip problem but hot water and moving the joint worked every time. I tried forcing my Tyler Bates left leg to move without boiling it and it snapped. Now I gotta get another bate lol

Mine came like this too, but I put mine in boiling water for a little bit and it did the trick and he can 23-Skidoo the night away

All it did was make his leg wobbly, but it was still fused to the joint. |

The fat guy leg mold always seems very heavily ratcheted. I’ve had to hot water almost all of them.
I haven’t had a loose ankle in years. Mattel started making them super tight (which I’ve heard folks complain about), but a quick hot water bath makes them perfect. Too stiff is easier to fix than too loose.

Only issues I had like this were with E40 Umaga, E6 Punk and E20 Punk.
E40 Umaga especially. I hot water'd him several times but could never fix it.
Could never find a solution.
