In the case of Iron Man, I thought I was gonna snap his closed fist hand right off, and with Cap, I still can't get the finger pointing hand to swivel at all, despite several treatments already.

No. But strangely, I chose to heat them all with a blow dryer and high intensity-lamp right after taking them out of the package, and just before any attempts to manipulate them. This isn't a regular precaution, or ritual I practice when receiving figures, it was actually a departure from the norm. They arrived feeling very cold to the touch, so I figured giving them an artificial thaw couldn't hurt...

I think my experience of receiving three 4H Gothitropolis figures this winter, in which I had to heat the right thigh-swivel for two of them, made me believe that these Hasbro figs could benefit from a 'zap' of heat.
