I know we shouldn't have to fix a figure right out the package, toy companies should make solid figure from the jump but the world aint perfect.

TIP 1: If and when you cant move a joint smoothly DO NOT force it, instead run the figure area under really hot water or use a tiny portable heater to soften the plastic. If that doesnt work use an exaco knife or thin blade and wedge it in between the joints some of these figures are really coated with paint all the way around and sometimes get stuck together. It appears that they may have gotten wind of people complaining about the joints and they last minute painted them to conceal the actual joint color (not cool).

TIP: 2 Crazy glue works wonders on pegs if you have a loose hand on a figure coat the mushroom tip end of the peg with some glue and it will stay in 90% of the time better than before.

That said I hope we get E. Honda, Dhalsim, Zangief, Chun-Li and M. Bison before this line is over.
Awesome tips my friend, Crazy Glue should be in every collectors tool box.
