I got lucky. I had 0 issues with all 5 figures. My HBK has a slightly loose hip swivel but really not that bad.

I noticed on mine that Ellering's hands were painted much tanner than his heads.

I had a problem with my Ellering arms not popping in the shoulder as well. Its because Mattel attached the arm to the wrong peg on the shoulder. If you heat it up and pop it off the correct peg is on the other side.  Thanks for posting, got my figs to build Ellering delivered Christmas Eve, total bummer when left arm wouldn’t go in, did what you said worked perfect. |

Aren’t all the ellering jackets closed? Did anyone get an open jacket?

From what I've seen, most of the HBK has a loose waist -- I was going to buy the figure until I saw this. Shame. QC definitely hurts at least some sales...

I’ve had arm issues with the similar jacket torso on the Finkel BAF as well. Makes me wonder.

I only got Chyna out of this set and, surprisingly, both Chyna and the arms are correct. The paint on both looks good and the proper pegs are sticking out.

Add me to the list of wrong pegs. I got two different arms.... but both have the same peg (the left one)
Did the J&J battle pack figures have the BAF style arms that pop off? if not, I'll have to look for a Finkel Sarge -_-
At least my Io Shirai had one of each foot.

Yup the arms on both Noble and Mercury are BAF arms and pop off easily. |

Do I finally got around to checking my Shawn Michaels. Thankfully, all the joints are tight, but the waist swivel is stuck, and I can’t twist him. Any recommendations on how to fix it?

Ughh fused hips. You can try heating it up with a hair dryer for a minute or so and then try. It should loosen the glue drop or whatever that fused it. |

Otherwise, I guess I will contact Ringside and see if I can do an exchange. |

RSC get the first shipments on their initial delivery so they probably got all closed jackets first and then mostly closed on their back orders
