I’ve got a Ruthless Aggression Brock Lesnar and a Raw 30th Anniversary Undertaker who have arms with a stuck deltoid joint. You know, the joint at the top of the arm that allows the figure’s arm to spread out? I’ve tried using force. I’ve tried boiling water. I’ve removed the arm at the bicep swivel completely and then tried to force it.
I’m at a loss here. It’s like the joint has been fused together with black magic. Anybody know how to fix this?

Hot water with washing up liquid, then use a Stanley blade to push the plastic apart at the top of the arm.
On another note, why can I not see the word deltoid without thinking about Frank n furter?

Put water in a cup, microwave 3-5 minutes. Put figure in head first for 15 seconds at a time.

Happened to me once years ago. I heated it well, wrapped with a cloth and tapped it with a small hammer until it came free
Edit: I popped off the arms and head, placed the figure on the side the issue was on, with the neck peg on the table, figure at about 45 degrees. Kept resistance and lightly tapped until it came free
