I've just noticed the left foot of one of my Elite figures moves a lot to the sides... It's not loose, but it moves a lot to both sides... Any way to solve it? Thanks

It happens with a lot of Elite ankles, especially John Cena short/sneakers mold. Usually people say to apply a tiny dot of super glue towards the center of the joint and move the foot back and forth so the glue doesn't settle and lock the pieces together. I, on the other hand, would suggest staying away from super glue because sometime it leaves a white residue that sticks out like a sore thumb.
If I had to suggest something do the same exact thing but with clear coat nail polish. The only thing that sucks about that, is that it leaves the applied part some-what shiny and no longer matte.

Thanks I take the foot apart and apply a toothpick ends worth of clear caulking on the inside of the foot part. I then reassemble the upper boot part and let it set. It always seems to tighten up loose ankle joints for me and still keeps all mobility there. The clear caulk works well as far as not leaving any kind of weird residue behind also, just a nice clean and easy fix. |

Elite figures are meant to have those style ankle joints where they move side to side a bit so that the figure gets more posing action from it. Its one of the articulation movements. Every elite figure should move side to side at the ankle joints really. It's natural.
