The pinless double joint arms are not exactly what I hoped they would be. For the small arms they’re great, but the big arms don’t seem like they have much added movement at all. The upper arm articulation cut is nowhere near big enough on them so you can’t move the arm much more than you could before
The AEW arms have so much more movement

I’ll be honest, they work fine for me… The only real issues I have is that I’ve already had a few that were stuck, some were loose and the worst part is that that they’re pinless. If you have a loose arm and it’s pinless you’re screwed. You can’t even customize the elbows anymore. I prefer the double jointed pegs.

No problems here. Hogan 91 and ultimate can touch his ears a lot better than the older elites.

Probably cost too much, but the toys should be engineered to perform a characters moveset it that makes sense. It's near impossible to have Bret do a sharpeshooter, really due to the person getting the Scorpion Deathlock, doesn't have the joints to make it look good.
For years, not having a open hands made it near impossible to do a Razor's Edge pose or a Power Bomb look decent.
Point is, double joints do help.
I typically have my figures posed doing their finishers or signature moves and that is my display.

Dab some crazy clue in the loose joint and keep working it until it dries. It'll tighten up the joint for you

I’m just not a fan of pinless joints. Too many issues…

I remember using it to give my figure a matte finish and it was kind of tacky. What would you recommend to swap out forearms?

Speaking of AEW, Mattel could take a page out of Jazwares book and add a neck joint that can move the head further back to look up.

I love them, however the smaller characters look a little wonky with the longer arms and huge hands they like to give out

In terms of articulation, I'm not a fan. But I do like that the new skinny arms are more defined and muscular. Seeing figures like Austin with these tiny arms always seemed off. Even the less muscular wrestlers tend to be in pretty good shape.

I don’t like that they’re noticeably longer now

Yeah I used to use it to seal my customs, and never liked the outcome, it still gave a shine. But if you plug some in corners of joints a Lil bit at a time and move the joint around as it dries it'll start to stiffen up.

Long arms or huge hands aren’t great but for the most part I’m liking them. There isn’t too much difference on bigger arms I agree.
(Remember Bubba Rays long arms….they looked ridiculous and that maybe the only figure we get of him
