You can at least try one of the solution that was given.
The glue trick or make a custom socket.

Would warming the socket with a hair dryer, then wrapping tape around it to tighten it work?
I was considering buying the zc emulated body for my second wolverine body, however I read on here that the peg holes are different sizes from the hot toys body. Does this mean the extra hands or feet from my wolverine just flat out wouldn't fit? Thank you
Not sure if they would fit but this just became available if your interested
ZC Toys 1 6 Scale Muscular Figure Body ZC03 with Head Compatible with Hot Toys | eBay
I used the hot toys bruce banner body for my Grimes custom, great quality, same torso as the body you bought except its the original and the one you got is the knock-off, also the arms are not as big and have double jointed elbows, a pretty good body I think for a Rick. You can find these on ebay or stores like Toy Anxiety.
Nice custom Skull, I recently bought the same head sculpt from head play. Just ordered the Redman 01 Casual Outifit and the knockoff Narrow Body Version 5. Hopefully I wont have the same problem as you Pycho

Everything is compatible with hot toys exept the feet pegs.
Zc toys emulated have thicker ankle, hot toys feet peg Might be too big.
Nothing that cant be fixed by shaving hot toys feet pegs if needed.

Got my Zc emulated bodies this morning.
They are pretty good compared to other clones, or to ttm19 originals.
The neck sockets are firmly in position, so i guess you have a defective or broken one.
Glue or custom socket Will fix that.

Cool, I got the set with the head sculpts.
Heres a couple of photos of my custom Rick Grimes with the Redman casual set. Sorry for the crappy Iphone 6 photos. Let me know what you think. I did keep his short un-tucked and I also didnt use the knife, walking talking or jacket from this set.

I went with the RM03 set with the heads, here's how mine looks. The body is temporary, I've got a better one on the way.
Thanks Skull, Threezero is taking forever to release theirs so I had to bash one lol....
Looks good Arrogant. Which body did you decide to go with. I went with the knockoff narrow shoulder body version 5. Outfit fits pretty good. Only problem I had was trying to get the foot pegs into the boots so that he could stand. Had to force it in with the needle nose pliers. Also the walkie talkie is kinda of crappy and theres no holster for the knife.
Also hows the quality of the head sculpts and likeness

In hand, the head sculpts are fantastic, to say you can buy the same head £40 each, when you're gettin' the same head, twice, and the cloths and accessories for the price of 2 heads.
I also went for the ZC toys, emulated body, but the heads don't fit properly, so I had to modify the rubber (cut it down) so the heads would fit, but I have an ACI Christian body on the way to see how they fair.

I recently purchased the zctoys muscle body with seamless arms for a custom project of mine.
It was bought from ebay and when it came the right elbow had a problem:
it could not hold its pose when bent at most poses.
I emailed the seller about a replacement and he sent a same 2ond body almost for free (I paid only 4£),
but again it had the same (even worse!) problem this time at the right elbow:
it could not hold its pose when bent at all!
I didn't bother to ask the seller for the same body for the 3rd time,
as I switched arms on the bodies and now at least one body has arms that can bend on the elbow and keep the pose.
When changing the arms I took apart the rubber arms and looked at the mechanism if it can be fixed.
Unfortunately the arms inside are metal and the mechanism controlling the elbow joint is two cogwheels.
Has anyone else had the same problem with this type of body or I received some from a bad lot?
