So, I got my Amazon 4 Pack yesterday...

Couple of issues and how I fixed them.. First off, Bruce the way they had him in the box, presses on his knees, bad. When I took him out his knees almost touched together. They were bent really bad.

Next is Thor. This guy had 2 major issues. 1 being his right foot was not pushed in far enough leaving a gap and making his right leg longer than the left. the 2nd being his right arm, stuck like a chump. This thing wouldn't move for nothing.

The fix.. pretty much the same for all three issues. I boiled some water, not to a rolling boil but enough where you see the little bubbles starting to show up. While I waited on that, I got a nice sized bowl of Ice cold water. Then I dropped the bottom half of Bruce in the hot water for 30 seconds. I took him out with his floppy knees and put my fingers between the knees and held the feet together and dipped him in the cold water. After a few seconds his knees were nice and hard again and this time they were straight.

On to Thor, this guy took a little more to fix. I started by popping off the head just to give me less to screw up. I then put his foot in the water for 10 second and popped it off to see what was wrong. I actually did both feet so I can see the difference. The only difference I could find is the hole on the right foot is a tad larger than the left but nothing major. So, I put both feet on and pushed them in pretty hard and dipped them into the cold water and the foot was fixed.

The arm, the major issue. I started by putting the arm in the hot water for 10 - 15 seconds and slowly and carefully popped the arm off of the shoulder. I didn't want to accidentally break off the peg in my pursuit in fixing the arm. Once the lower arm was off, it's onto the shoulder. I put the top half of Thor into the hot water for 30 seconds. While I waited I dropped the rest of the arm into the cold water to harden it back up for now. I also found me a nice small flat head screw driver. After 30 seconds, I slowly pried the shoulder out of the socket. If you watch what your doing, and make sure the shoulder and socket were in the hot water for 20 - 30 seconds, it doesn't take much to get the shoulder out of the socket.

Once it was out of the socket, I started to look at it and it's not even stuck, it's just really tight. So, I just played with it for 10 - 15 minutes, moving it back and forth, ect. Once I was sure they it's loosening up, I heated the socket (Thors upper half) and the shoulder itself in the hot water for 30 seconds and popped it back into place. You must heat up Thors upper body / shoulder socket. If you don't you will never get the shoulder into that socket. Once it was heated up, it popped right back into place. After that, it was just heating up the lower arm for 10 - 20 seconds and popping it back onto the shoulder piece and then dipping the whole thing into the cold water to harden it up.

After that, the arm worked as it should, no issues what so ever.

So, let me say, if you attempt to fix Thor, make sure you use hot water and not put him in the freezer like someone else said. If you put him in the freezer, it will harden up the plastic and snap. If you heat it up, it become flexible. I wouldn't heat it up and just attempt to move the socket but, pop it out and move it around and put it back in.

I hope this helps at least one person.
