>>10557108i sent 2 back (scar and celtic) because their joints were either extremely stiff and immediately went to loose with a tiny bit of articulation or they came outright loose from the package. i heard you can take a hair dryer and warm up each joint that is tight and then working it in once warmed up, but that isn't a risk i'm willing to take because it sounds like it would only make the joints extremely loose. you can however apply pledge to tighten up the joints back again, which sounds like a lot of work to enjoy something so small when you can pay a few extra bucks for NECA like you already mentioned.
