I purchased the whole set from Ringside. Opened them up and went to put him together. His right arm will not pop in the torso. So, I bought a second Edge and tried torso number 2 and... same thing. It will pop in the left side but not the right. Is it a know defect or just the 2 I bought? Will Mattel respond if I email? What should I do? Thanks

 Heat the arm, pop it off the peg, put it on the other peg (the one that doesnt fit in the BAF body) and then use the peg that previously was connected to the arm to connect to the body. Should work. |

Thank you. How should I heat it? How hot? Thanks Heat a cup of water in the microwave for a couple minutes...Let the arm soak in it for a minute or so (until soft enough to pull apart) and you should be good. Doesnt need to be boiling but warm enough to soften the plastic. It will be easier to put back together if you cool the shoulder joint down (hardening it) while the arm piece is still warm/soft |

Heat it up & pop the arm off the shoulder ball...you'll see the differences in the pins on the shoulder joint. You can use the pic above for references. |

The funny thing is I was expecting to have to switch the shoulders when I got the rest of my WM figures last week, but they popped right in as is without any problem.

I had zero issues with both my Ellerings. The arms snapped in fine.

The one I ordered did not work. The peg was not reversed but an arm I had from Monsoon worked.
