Both legs on mine were exactly the same way from just prying the figure out of the plastic tray. For whatever reason, the socket on the legs has been made too small to accommodate the ball joint, so when you move the legs, it really puts a strain on the joint stem as you are essentially twisting it while the ball is gripped motionless by the leg socket.

This has become a constant QC issue with Classified that's making think twice about continuing going forward. I have had this same leg issue with a few of my Alley Vipers, Breaker, Lady Jaye, one of my PP Vipers, Firefly, and my Pimp Daddy Destro...so this is not a just a recent occurance. The dye staining is an easy oversight that can be missed, but this leg issue has been going on for nearly 3 years and simply needs to be addressed.

People used to bitch about Mafex and their QC issues...and you know what...they've gotten leaps and bounds better. Same with Neca. Pick up one of their products now as compared to a few years ago. You can see the effort and feel the difference. I'm just simply not seeing it with Hasbro right now...especially now with the prices getting up there. For a nearly 50 dollar "premium" figure...Mindbender should not have had this many things wrong with it.

Serpentor wasn't free of issues as well...a quick glance over social media will show you that the plastic used for his elbows is somewhat brittle and will snap...so be sure to give him a hot water bath. The joys of pinless. The right arm on mine comes off at the bicep swivel on mine rather easily as well...but thankfully, hasn't been too serious of an issue.
