The KO/Austin ME 2 pack.
Kevin's new pinless legs don't bend at all on the knees, but whatever you guys did with Austin and Kevin's hip joints, please make that a thing on Elites, they are smooth like butter. No kickback, no stiffness, heck KO can pretty much do a split like it's no big deal. Austin has a bit of a ratchety feel to his hip joints, but they aren't stiff at all.
So whatever you did with those figures? Great job. If you can find some way to transfer that onto Elites, I think we'll be in business.

Damn. I’m afraid to buy a new figure. This is wild. Basically this for me. Newest figures I've bought have been the Pretty Deadly tag set and they moved great with no issues so Im not sure what series or around what time these issues started popping up but now Im worried about my Dudley Boyz Elite 2 pack coming in for new reasons other than the Andre torso on Bubba. That itself is an easy enough fix but if there's unmovable legs and anything else mentioned here, it's going to be a huge problem fixing the figures. So now Im scared to buy anything from the recent series which sucks. |

I finally found UE MNW Eddie Guerrero and both figures have two right feet.

 Well, it happened. Went to take out the Chase Jey from the package and the leg came right off. Needless to say I’m pretty mad considering this is the Chase and was already a bitch to get. |

For years I have always loved getting a Ringside haul. I now dread them. I have spent so much time working on my Elite 113 and 114 haul, trying to heat the joints so the figures legs move. I've done 3 heat sessions and once they cool off, back to LJNs. Trick Williams, Ciampa, Dragunov, Dragon Lee, Carlito, Duke Hudson basic and Shawn Michael's from the Vault 2. No matter how many times I heat them, the legs just stiffen back, except for Dragunov. Somehow he's working well now. This Ciampa figure is so bad with the QC, I tossed it into a bin and am keeping my old Elite Ciampa out. I'm hooked on WWE figures and I will still get 1st times in the line. But I'm done upgrading figures. It's crazy how I always looked forward to getting figure hauls, and now I dread them.

I know I sound crazy and delusional, but I wish we’d get some sort of compensation for these figures considering how expensive this hobby can be. At the end of the day they’re toys, but we should at least expect them to hold up and not break just trying to take them out of their box or other shit. |

That's why I haven't bought anything in months, and I'm afraid of buying anything, hopefully this gets resolved soon.

I found a lone Warlord Legends figure in a Target out in the boonies in Illinois yesterday (they had a bunch of UE HHH with the plastic chain/mesh shirt so idk if they just have super old figs or if that got a re-release bc there was no shoulder hinge either) and this was the first time I've ever had an issue with the ball joint legs. On the older figures there used to be this weird piece of rubber or plastic that went around the leg peg and it would force the crotch pin to bend and then break when you moved the leg from front to back. Thought that issue was fixed when they made the ball joint legs.
Somehow though, my Warlords right leg has that same feeling but I cant see the crotch peg twisting so maybe its not going to break but Im baffled at how an empty socket is getting stuck when rotating front to back over a ball joint. If I move the leg forward it kinda rebounds on its own back to the standing position.
Maybe I'll heat him up letter and pop the leg off to see whats happening. The engineer in me says it makes no sense and the only possible thing it could be is that the leg hole is too tight or the plastic of the peg is somehow melted/stuck to the rubber of the thigh which is highly unlikely. Never thought this would be an issue with the ball joint crotch peg though.

After finding all the issues with my Outsiders, I’m terrified for the Steiners, Muta, ultimate Punk. Some of the most wanted figures that the community has waited forever for, are about to drop during the absolute worst quality control period ever for Mattel. I just hope all of our figures show up in good shape. |

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. And its happened again... |

I received the DM Punk and i've noticed the hips are really stiff, i'm afraid the hip pegs might break.
On the other hand, the Elite 113 Punk in ball joints is really smooth. I wonder if Mattel will make new Punks in ball joints. |

I'm actually not going out of my way anymore to really get anything figures unless I know I'm keeping it MOC and not opening it for display. Not worth the risk unless I find it at retail, I'll take a gamble then.

I completely get this - I have a couple of pre-orders in for stuff I wanted when it was revealed, but now I'm dreading them coming in because I know they'll have something wrong with them. |

Never too late to cancel if you plan on opening. |
