Need help guys. Got one for Christmas (yay), however the left foot's joint is stiff. I can only move the foot up and down but the tilt of the foot is crooked. Based on a review video I saw, there should be good/flexible articulation for the feet. How can I safely loosen up the joint?

Yes. I researched it and this is correct.

I ended up not using anything, the joint just need some careful and slow movement, that loosen it but it's still stiff. Foot no longer is tilted weird though.
Try just applying some heat from a hairdryer or heat gun. That usually helps loosen up stiff joints.
So seems like this release was a dud? Not much chatter or excitement and only 6 pages deep...
Ppl are probably just tired of Iron Man. I still have my remaining two Iron Man figures boxed up. I feel like I’d regret it if I sold them, but don’t really want them taking up shelf space either

That said, I still wish I could get the Tony headsculpt from this for my MK3 2.0

I honestly don't know how to gauge excitement in certain cases like this thread, because although there doesn't seem to be too much discussion after release, they're still selling-out. Kind of like how so many people poo-poo variants like the Black & Gold Mark VII, but good luck trying to even buy one in the first place bc they sell out instantly. Another case in point is the newly released Iron Patriot. So it's almost as though thread chatter is not always a good indicator of interest. I freaking love mine, I treat it like a centerpiece in my armor collection, and I took the time to take pics of it and post here. But maybe others are just enjoying theirs in silence, 😅. It probably also doesn't help that more and more time is going by after these movies were released, so there's FAR less hype, engagement, and excitement than there used to be, with these releases.
 
I honestly think not many people have it yet. My "fusion reactor" guy has not received his yet. I got mine off a local collector shop a couple weeks ago. It is magnificent.
