Starting with Elite 65 Eric Young I noticed where his right arm connected to the shoulder joint was very loose. His arm would loosely swivel around the joint. A minor issue to some but it drove me crazy. I ended up getting two more EY figures and they also had the loose right arm so I gave up on that figure. My next Elite purchase was Elite 65 Aiden English and Elite 64 Curt Hawkins. Same exact issue, loose right arm connection to the shoulder joint. Ended up getting the chase version of Aiden English, same problem.

Today I received the Elite 69 Ricochet from amazon and he has the exact same issue, loose right arm/shoulder joint connection. So the last 4 Elites I’ve purchased have all had this exact same issue. Has anyone else experienced this and found a fix for it? Outside of Aiden English I’ve avoided every Elite with the Miz/CM Punk torso due to them never addressing the QC issue with that particular torso so I doubt they will ever fix this one or even address its existence.

I've had 2 Epic Moments Undisputed Eras and in both my Bobby Fish had a messed up left leg, both in the same fashion.

I was out of the game for a few years, and there definitely is a difference. My older elites legit feel heavier and less cheap if that makes any sense?

The flip side though is that the detail has improved greatly and the removable hands and heads are a great touch too!

Yeah they had to have changed something with the joint. All my older Elites have a nice tight joint where the arm connects to the shoulder but these newer ones are so loose. You can’t lift the arm up without it spinning around the shoulder joint. I’m gonna have to avoid collecting for awhile or all together. These new issues randomly popping up and never being addressed by Mattel are driving me away from the hobby. The figures are fine if you leave them in the package but once you take them out you can’t help but notice all the issues with them.
