I bought this figure about a week ago and the arms on the figure seems weird...
They seems like they do not bend straight down to his sides, but his upper arms are perm. stuck upwards. For example, If i bend his lower arms straight, it would basically look like he's giving the crucifix pose.
So i was wondering, are the joints made this way or are they just stiff? If so, could anyone show me pics of how the figs are supposed to look? Thanks to any answer.

They are stiff as hell and like all other TNA figures be VERY careful when you try to move them or they may snap off in your hands. These things are really just made o be kept MOC I think. I only opened mine because it was $1.98 and I liked the flag for Bret.

Also, i really doubt they meant to be kept MOC, because they have so many points of movement. I mean, they are made to be ultra-playable.

Well, I boiled Petey and his arms immeadtley articulated downwards, almost to normal. His tattoo will only show on the back of his shoulder, is that right?

I had posted this to your question at POA... Yes, Welcome to the boards. It seems that all the TB Petey Williams & Rhyno figures suffer from this problem. I think it's beacuse they are still tacky when they are packed and so they lock into the pose. Anyway I heated my figures shoulder with a hairdryer for about a minute or two until it's soft. Then I gradually started moving it...Try gripping the shoulder ball when moving it, because if you hold the upper arm you run the risk of the post snapping if you didn't heat it enough. But once the joint pops you shold be able to move them without any problems.  PJ |

If I'm picturing things right, all you've gotta do is rotate the ball joint all the way around so that the tattoo is facing front. Then just move his arm down and turn the bicep around. |
