You'll want to use a drop or two of 100% silicone oil to get the joint moving properly. Mineral oils will damage the plastic and dry out after a time while the silicone is safe for plastic and will last a while. I put some on the Iron Man Mk. 45 a couple of years ago and it's still good. I use Factory Team Silicone Shock Fluid, 80w. The bottle doesn't say 100% silicone oil but I called the manufacturer to confirm that it is indeed 100% silicone. Plus, it's meant to be used in plastic RC cars so it can definitely be used on action figures. I bought my bottle off of Amazon but you might be able to find some at a hobby store.

Thank you so much! My brother got the SH FIGUARTS ANT MAN FROM CIVIL WAR and showed me some pics and it looks like an amazing figure. He introduced me to to the line. I'll definitely keep that in mind about the silicone oil
