Hasbro really needs to step up here...especially since this guy after taxes and shipping was pushing 50 bucks. The leg issue is especially worrisome, as this is not the first time I've experienced it with the Joe line, and many YouTubers are expressing the same issue with stress marks to the joints upon barely handling them. This indicates it's a bigger issue overall...and Hasbro needs to address it.

Thankfully...it is possible to replace the hips on a Classified easily if it were to break...but you'll need to sacrifice another Joe figure for it and to be honest, we shouldn't have to. Slathering all of our figures in silicone just to get them to work as they should isn't the solution either.

His upper arms are gray because of the soft goods. Excess dyes in the fabric have transfered onto the plastic it was covering. If you collect wrestling figures or fashion dolls such as Barbie or Monster High...this is a very common issue that little can be done to rectify outside of bleaching the figure with peroxide and hoping they come out.

When you get a chance...take off the Mindbender cape, dab a tiny bit of laundry detergent onto it and scrub it gently by hand under cold water. Then give it a squeeze. You'll be surprised by how much black dye will run out between your fingers.
