Leg issues

[HandsomeHollywood]

My E111 Cody's knees do not bend at the shins. It takes quite a bit of effort.

I was able to loosen up my Greatest Hits AJ's legs through just constant bending and leaving them in a bent position for some time.

My Gable, I sliced the pegs and they bend just fine now with no issue.

I completely swapped out my E110 Theory's legs at the hip with older parts.

Ive recieved my Outsiders today and the quality on them is shocking.

Kevin Nash has a ridiculous loose neck, may as well be an Ultimate Bobble head, but the main concern is the Legs on Scott Hall, his left leg would not stay in position and kept springing back, cause by the peg not moving correctly or being too stiff, which has cause the peg to actually snap clean off. A complete waste of money on an item that breaks doing something it is supposed to be doing straight out of the box . I have had this in numerous others in the line, most recent with Gunther and John Cena Ultimate Editions.

Pinless leg stiffness is especially bad. The “bounce back” leg at the hip has pretty much happened on every single new elite figure I’ve bought recently. The drop down hips really worry me at this point. My Outsiders Scott hall, Amazon Undertaker, legends Yoko, legends Warrior, coliseum collection Rick rude all have drop down hip issues. Hall’s being the worst. I feel like his leg could snap at any moment if that leg is pulled downward.

This right here happens with almost every single ultimate I’ve bought. Who thought drop down hips was a good idea in the first place. Their absolutely horrible. I’ve also had several arms break at the shoulder joint.

My Hall's leg did snap because of the issues with "Bounce Back" its like I have money to waste on figures that are gonna break .

I recently purchased a large lot of the new style basics and none of them seem to be able to bend at the knees even though there is articulation there. Seems as if it would be tough to actually play with them if you chose to do so.

some people man...lol. Steve posts a thread specifically asking for leg issues and yet people are like "yeah but all these 15 other things too!"....can we just for once focus on the topic at hand and be constructive/informative instead of using this as an opportunity to complain about other things?


ON TOPIC

I've noticed quite a few recent figures having tighter hip joints to where the legs just don't move in a natural way.
Most recently, my MNW DDP has a "bow" leg where his right one just stays at this weird angle
This is how it looks coming right from the package



I haven't experienced any "freezing" like others have said, but there's definitely some kind of weird warping issue that seems to be on a lot of newer figures and I get a LOT of warped foot parts that make it hard for the figures to stand up.

Mine is like this. I had to buy it on the aftermarket for 50 bucks too so...

Yeah this is very true. Nearly every ultimate I buy now has incredibly loose heads.

[Nivro™]

Almost every figure Ive bought in the past 6 months has had at least one (if not both) lets "frozen" at the crotch/hip joint. Majority Ive been able to fix by soaking in hot water and gently moving it around...However the trusty hot water effect is now starting to cause loose torsos.

Don't know if it was just me, but the right leg on the ultimate Monday Night Wars Bret was basically frozen out of the box, it still doesn't bend at the knee but since I have him posed standing it's not a huge issue. The bigger issue is the foot, I don't know how to explain it exactly but the end of the shin portion was basically pinned to the beginning of the foot piece with a massive gap around the ankle and heel. I haven't been able to move or fix that, but I can't bring myself to pay for that figure twice

[Purple Reigns]

E112 Seth Rollins right leg will not move up in an upward kick position. Tried heating it up to no avail. Scared to do anything else because I know it’ll likely break. 

[WCWThunderRosa]

I got a Mankind Ultimate Edition and when I was moving it around the joints felt really good and even the drop down hips felt alright. I wasn’t worried about breaking the drop down hips on this one like I normally am.

So whatever y’all did on that Mankind figure, good job, keep doing more of that.

Horrible

My Gargano has one leg weirdly warped off center worse than that.

Hey Steve. I purchased the GH Booker a few weeks ago. I couldn't move the legs up at all, they were basically stuck. With a little force, they became warped and we're just dangling off as if it was rubber ball joints or something.

[BoneCrunchingCustoms]

The Survivor Series Sami Zayn has pretty bad QC at the hips when moving them forwards. They rub badly on the undercarriage of the crotch piece and crushes the plastic on the legs really bad.

Is it possible that the factory put the wrong calves on DDP’s legs? Like the right calf on the left knee and vice versa?

[CMW Toys]

Moving the Ultimate Nash legs abit more, the pelvis connector feels very weak and like it could snap at any point.

Halls drop down feature is extremely loose. The leg falls down on it's own.

[nomorexclusives]

With the superstars, the knees are incredibly stiff and break easy. I broke 3 figures this way. 2 rowdy pipers and one lou albano (will add photos when i get home). Others have as well including kyle peterson when unboxing andre the giant. (You can hear him say the joints are "incredibly tight at the 5:01 minute mark. The video below starts with him breaking the left leg at the knee when trying to change boots.



The stiff leg joints are an issue across the board.

I would add that many heads dont stay on (again an issue across the board)

ya know, looking at that picture…you might be onto something here…

I just opened the new Legends Kurt Angle ... the figure looks very nice but any level of quality ends right there.

His hips were frozen out of the package so I boiled them. They popped off and I put them back on. The balls of the hips look oddly shaped but it didn't matter as now the legs just flop around.

His ankles are really loose and have large gaps too. He just doesn't stand right at all.

Honestly, this is probably the worst quality issues I've ever seen on these.

Took one for the team and sliced up my variant DDP to test this theory...

I think you're correct. Il post a picture shortly
