Lately a LOT of the figures I have bought have stiff joints and I've put the hair dryer to them. __________________ . . . "They're not dolls, they're Action Figures!

We don't have a hair dryer (damn hippies) so I tried running them under Hot Water....It Worked, as they say, like a charm. Thanks for the tip!

I have been noticing just the opposite, the ones I have on display are all doing the "lean" one way or the other. Weapons are starting to slip...I am not and will never be a fan of all this articulation!
