I was on holiday in England saw a wall full in Smyths and had my interest peaked. Went home and saw lost legend in the shops and grabbed them and started, not knowing how hard it would be to continue. If you are a modern day collector it is fine. It's just so hard when all you collect are legends from older eras. I’ve spent a fortune on the old legends. Not bothered by modern stuff at all.

Your RSC WM19 Jericho looks like one arm is thicker and longer than the other. It does. It looks like he has 2 different forearms

Thanks for the collecting insight, international peeps.
Also, I don't know whether I would laugh or cry hysterically if I got a fig with different limbs. Maybe make a Toxic Avenger custom out of them xD

That Rollins with the AJ styles wrist tape is worth keeping for the novelty alone, errors like that can be worth a lot

I'm convinced that the mechanism attaching the arms to the torso has changed a couple years ago because literally every figure I've bought that had the cruiserweight torso and arms has had a locked left arm. Dozens of figures, all with the same problem, all with the left arm only.

(I need to go out and buy a few figs so I can figure this stuff out for myself haha)

The Finn I just got has a funky left arm, it's like the piece in the torso that gives it friction is deformed or popped loose. It goes from locked up to super loose depending on position.

No more upper arm swivel on basics. Now a swivel hinge at the elbow.

I mean the older basics, they go for dirt cheap here in the U.S., hope it's the same everywhere else

Just a little update...
AJ Styles' left arm has officially broken just like the Elite 56, thus becoming a Helicopter arm.
Round of applause for Mattel everyone!

Unfortunately it's an extremely common issue with that torso now for some reason. Regarding the longer arm issue, I suggest popping them off, and putting either two open hands or two close fists just to see if they are the same length. With Mattel using one open hand and one closed, it often causes it to look like one arm is longer than the other simply due to that open hand having a bit more length to it.
