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. Yeah but this thing i don't understand is, all my other figures with that torso don't have this problem... Cole, Fish, O'Reilly, Jericho etc... Don't have this problem, it's just AJ Styles for some reason. I was thinking that but the forearms are very noticeably different. I'm going to end up swapping both arms with the Lost Legends Jericho.

Obviously it's not just some people at Mattel, who could do with an eye test.

You've gotten way luckier than I have. Since 2016 literally every figure I've bought with that torso, except Enzo for some reason, has had the issue with the left arm.

If that's not enough to tell Mattel that something is clearly wrong, then i don't know what is. With the amount of complaints about this one particular problem, you'd think they'd look into it... But nope.

Well they took awhile before trying to fix the loose ankle problem. Just why did they even have to change that torso when it was fine to start with is beyond me.

I think you jinxed me haha. I went to Wal-Mart to pick up the Fan Central and Survivor series elites and I have never had the bad luck I just had. The Mojo Rawley looked fine but the back of his head looked like it was caved in by a tire iron and it wouldn't swivel at all. One of the Carmella's I bought, her left leg was almost completely broken out of the package. The joint that connects the hip and the leg was in just awful condition and the leg was about to just fall off as soon as I opened it. I called Mattel and they're sending me a refund and Wal-Mart also let me exchange them for better ones.

I just got my RSC Balor & Shane figures in the mail and the Balor is pretty much perfect but my Shane has his eyes/eyebrows painted too far too the right. Urks me so much I emailed Ringside about it. I've never had to but I can't deal with it.

Another Negative update...
After doing a head swap on the Elite Miz, i was messing around with some posing and just like Styles, his left arm made a snap. It's not as bad as Styles but still considerably looser than before. What bothers me about this one, is his arm wasn't locked like AJ's was, but still broke just like his. Coincidentally, they share the exact same torso and shoulders...

I have 2 Jericho figures which I am pretty sure share the same torso...DM and BOAE...I still haven't unboxed and am now dreading it when I do. What other figures do we know for sure share this torso/arm?

My Best of Attitude Era Jericho fortunately hasn't had these issues yet, only issues it's had are some small stress marks on the top part of the shoulder joint. I think basically every 'smaller' guy shares this combination - Jericho, Styles, Bryan, Undisputed, Zayn, Miz etc...

I wonder on what series they changed over to this as I know none of the older figures seem to have this issue.
