If it helps for anyone, when I have problems with my DCUC in terms of stuck joints, I boil the kettle, hold the problem area over the spout until it boils, free the joint, then either dip in a bowl of ice water, or run under cold tap water to get the plastic hard again. Works almost every time. Proceed with caution however, not 100% guarantee (my one-armed deathstroke can attest to that).
That method works, and thanks for posting it, but for the Goliath hips they are different joints entirely. They are basically ball joints inserted at a 45 degree angle, with a peg inserted into the thigh which acts as a thigh swivel. If they were like the DCUC joints I think they'd be a lot easier to free. The Goliath hips have detents as well which are fine when working right but on mine they were plain frozen stuck.
