Use a blow dryer to warm up the arm, for few seconds and then slowly try to bend the arm. Place your thumb at the inside of the elbow to help pivot.

Replace those batteries. I agree about the trigger hand, it does hold the gun slanted. WHat I did was turn the hand peg horizontal and tilted his hand outward so now the gun is pointing forward. Im wondering if the left hand trigger with the Bruce willis Colton figure is the same hand or different. I might try one of those.

Thanks Centrocal :hi5:

All I did was move the left wrist peg totally upward like you said and the gun hand is completely upright and aiming straight with an outstretched arm :yess:

You rock.
Still have to do the elbow and replace the batteries. I will return with updates on that. The leg armor wasn't a big deal.. glue was a quick fix. They just force us to slide a multi-pieced plastic accessory on a tight clothed leg so once the armor knee cap got to the figure's knee cap it just couldn't handle the pressure and popped. Thankfully it is a clean glue break so it fight right back in, can't even tell now.

So Sideshow wants me to send pictures of the issue before they'll replace anything. Seems like a lot of hassle and plus the light has been on constantly for around a week so is getting dimmer. Not sure how much help pictures of it on and off will be and how they'll really know if it is or isn't on or off but whatever.

Lol got my replacement from sideshow, but same problem with arc reactor not turning off. Don't think they even check it before sending it out, the tab was still in place.

I'm not sure what to do now, I can't destroy the old body because the replacement is still not working, but I can't be fussed getting another body from sideshow and have it not work again. That is if they do send replacements twice.

They offered me a full refund instead so I guess ill keep the replacement and try to fix it myself.
