Every Jeff Hardy with the studded belt.
As great as they all look, the legs on those figures are a NIGHTMARE to try and pose, or stand normally with. On top of that, the left leg on my Entrance Greats Jeff is borderline about to break off if i move it, as it feels like it's hanging on by a thread.
The few Jeff's with the flat belt (Matt Hardy style legs) are great, never had an issue with those, or any Matt Hardy Elite.

I’only have studded belt Jeffs (about 10 of them) and I have no issues with any of them. |

E78 R-Truth and U5 Adam Page both have incredibly loose ankle/legs.
E84 Rhea Ripley too, but she isn't as bad as Truth and Page.

My Legends Series 3 Brian Pillman. Bought him second hand and his ankles are insanely loose.
He can barely stand up so he's always situated in a corner where he can be held up. Shame too because he's crazy expensive now and I'll likely never find another one without paying out the you know what.

If you aren't opposed to swapping the boots, you could use a newer elite with black boots and swap them. I used a new legends Heenan to fix an Elite 3 Christian that couldn't stand. |

The basic Ronda Rousey in Ring Gear. I had that figure and it couldn't stand up by itself regardless. I ended up getting rid of her.

My Elite 79 Io Shirai has a hard time standing up on her own.
And also, my Chyna from the Elite 2-Pack with HHH had/has a serious problem with Razor Ramon and is always knocking him into Shawn Michaels, funnily enough. It's probably from the weight of the two gold belts that she's holding on either shoulder, while HHH poses next to her.

Does anyone have an issue with the original Elite Ronda Rousey figure standing up? It's the one in the black jacket. It's like her leg is completely broken almost. Terrible quality control. |

I don't own that figure sadly, so I can't give an opinion. That must be annoying though. |

I turned mine into a SMH figure and, yeah, she's a pain. Her legs aren't very sturdy at all. I just had to set her back up again today. I'm going to have to find a different way to keep her standing, she keeps taking tumbles. |

My RVD Jakks figure that I keep the Jakks ECW diecast title and other ECW titles I have on him. He’s usually the one that causes the cascade of figures to fall.

Legends 1 Stone Cold. With out the stand, his legs are loose and hard to make him stand. It was my first figure back to the elite line from Jakks. It almost made me not want to collect again thinking all elites were like this.

Kaiser Doll stands are pretty good for giving figures a little more sturdiness. They’re not as sleek as the Mattel or RSC display stands, but they’re more reliable.
I love you.

Can vouch for these but will add that, if you get into the taller men's figures, you're going to have to get creative with how you stand them.
The best size for wrestling figures are the #1175 model ones which, while some sites list them as fitting 6"-7" figures, aren't ideal for anything over 6.25" tall. You can fit most mens figures with them but if you get into the Undertakers and Kanes you will be clipping them around a leg. Also, figures like Otis and Viscera are going to have a bad day due to the bracket not being wide enough. (You can bend it, but there's only so far you can do so without issues)
That said, they are perfect for women's figures and, if you are really good with them, they work wonders. I actually have one standing up on my shelf that's holding an AEW Luchasaurus figure... with Jungle Boy on his shoulders! So if you get crafty with them you can stand up almost any wrestling figure.
Just whatever you do, don't get the 6.5" to 11" ones. The pictures online are deceptive they are far too big for any action figure outside of maybe an oversized ML build a figure.

I've recently moved a large batch of my figures from an old modular shelf to a slightly nicer looking one. This morning, I walked into my office to once again find my Ultimate Edition Becky Lynch (one of the front row features of my women's display) face down on the ground. Ever since I got her, she's been a problem - her ankles are hella loose. I can't really complain, because I got the whole figure for free from a RSC Instagram contest so I imagine it made the rounds there before coming my way, but I feel like I'm going to spend the rest of my life picking her up off the ground. Another is my Entrance Great Bobby Roode (who actually gave me the idea for the thread since he got brought up the other day). He's constantly taking out members of the NXT roster on account of his loose ankles. I have him toward the back of the display, so he tends to take Ricochet and Roddy Strong with him, and sometimes sends Dominik Dijakovik toppling into the cross bars of the shelf. So let's hear it - who in your collection do you find yourself constantly picking up and dusting off? Maybe some of us less handy members can get some tips to solve our woes from other members lol  My Ult Becky used to be like that too; super loose ankles out of the box, but I've been fixing ankles with superglue and it's not a big problem anymore. Except the AEW Unrivaled 1 guys, none of them can stay upright. |

Except the AEW Unrivaled 1 guys, none of them can stay upright. I just gave up and put every single one of my AEW figures on Kaiser stands. As stated, some of them I had to get creative with. Mox was a pain and, due to my need for sleek aesthetics, I was insistent on putting Matt's bracket under his coat which was an even bigger pain. I just took a loss at S1 Kenny and replaced him with the S4 figure I ended up buying. For the women, Brandi was easy but Riho... if you try to put the bracket on the outside, her skirt blocks it from attaching properly. If you try to put it on the inside, her skirt doesn't fit right. There is an even more noticeable issue with Shida on this due to her "skirt" being open in the front. Why do they have to make this so difficult, we were promised AEW stands ages ago, how long does it take to develop a flat piece of plastic with a peg on it???
All that said, I'm getting really tired of my UE Cena. He won't stay upright for crap. I know Cena's are notorious for this but it's really a huge PITA.

The glasses for both Nasty Boys seem to hate being on their faces.
DM Bret is also suffering from the terrible ankle joint problem from back in the day.
