Anybody else have the problem where a leg on a Basic figure is too long and has to be bent for the figure to stand straight up?
I just bought a WM26 Matt Hardy which has the problem and a EC Drew McIntryre. Its kinda a bother cause it takes away from a natural look when the only way to have a figure stand straight up is to bend the knee.
This is one reason I'm not too hot on the Basic line.

More than likely one of the legs is warped slighty. Blow dry it for about 30 seconds if that is the case, straighten the leg out, and while holding it in place, run cold water on it to set it the proper way.
My basic 2 Rey had that problem, until I hit it with a blow dryer.... first figure I ever did it to.

I just got my Legends Stone Cold through the post and I have the same problem. One of his leg's is about 5mm bigger than the other. Ive mesured them a both and the leg's length is a alot different. It does'nt look too bad if bent.
It's not figure destroying but still a shame
I don't understand how hot water would help but please if you could give me some tips or go into more detail with the hot water it would be much appraited.

I haven't seen anything like that yet on my figures. I have noticed some odd proportions on some figures like the the thigh being a little on the short side and the lower leg being WAY too long.
Bend a Rey Mysterio's legs at the knees and it's like the knee joint is set too high on the figure. Same thing with the modern HBKs.

I've noticed this on a bunch of Mattel figures I've bought. The worst one has to be PPV 3 Beth Phoenix. Her right foot doesn't even touch the ground when I try to stand her up straight.
