So I am trying to get my Jungle Viper to hold a few different rifles to see how it looks and I notice something. he has a right hand, and he has a left hand, but he has two freakin left arms. He cant bend his right arm forward at the elbow,. Now wonder he cant hold a gun. Anyone else have this issue? Or perhaps anyone have my little guys missing right arm? I've got a spare left. and it isnt just the upper arms. He has a lower left arm as well. Bad form quality control, bad form.

and now I take off his gear and his torso is crooked as well. Man, for a figure that was love at first sight the more I look at him the less he grows on me. Did I just get a bum fig?

...you can just move the torso over. They're designed to do that (same as 25th and RoC figures). It's usually a bit stiffer of a joint, though, so it takes a bit more effort.

Yeah, I was gonna say. That torso's not a sign of shoddy workmanship, that's a feature!
And you can fix the elbow by simply shaving a bit off the 'front' of the hindarm and cutting out a bit more of the groove on the forearm. With a guy like this JV, you'll never notice the surgery once he's all geared up.

You can trim his arm to allow movement, but yeah, lame.

After a little bit of digging I removed and excess chunk of plastic. He no longer has spinal issues.

Crack the torso once you get a new arm and then maybe it will straighten out. Did you try heating it up (hot water/hair dryer) to move it? I've had this happen with other figs but managed to get them straightened out with brute force.
*EDIT: Was the chunk malignant?

We are waiting on the test results but the doctors are hopeful.

I am not too enamored with the basic sculpt of the JV. I hope to get around to customizing one and improving some of these flaws.
