Flash looks fantastic. I was planning on stopping (or at least slowing down) after Superman. But if Aquaman and cyborg look as good as Flash and Superman, I may be tempted to finish the lineup. Or at least my version of it. I don’t really want the JL regular Batman or JL Wonder Woman because I prefer the look of the BvS Batman and WW Wonder Woman costumes, respectively. But I might be swayed to get the tactical Batman if I have the funds to do so when he comes out...
On another note, what would people recommend for loosening up stiff joints on these? I didn’t notice it until recently but the left hip ball joint on Superman is so tight that it clicks when you move it. I’m afraid of breaking it if I’m not careful. I know about zapping it with a hair dryer or hot water and will probably try that soon. But I was also thinking about possibly trying to gently lubricate it. I was looking into maybe putting a drop or two of oil (that would penetrate deeper into the joint) but it seems there really isn’t such a thing as plastic-safe oil. It seems the only lubricant that you can really be sure won’t melt or destroy plastic and rubber is silicone grease. I’m just not sure how you could get that down into the ball joint without disassembling it first.
And yes I know, lubricating is probably not the preferred or recommended method for action figures. But I figure if I use it very sparingly then the risk of it becoming floppy is small while the reward of preventing it from becoming tight again would be very welcome. And I’m a mechanic at heart, if not by trade (any more), so my natural inclination is to lube it up!
