The wrist on one of my Star Wars action figures is stuck. I tried hot water, but that didn't work. Any suggestions?

Did you try the hair dryer method ... which is pretty much like the hot water method I think. Or try the freezer method. Throw that sucker in the freezer for about an hour or so and then twist. Which figure is it?

It's one of the only collectibles that made my MUSTBUYATALLCOSTS list this year. Or last. Whenever it was first shown off.

This sucks. Because that damn set has been sitting in my pre-order que at BBTS FOREVER and keeps getting pushed back. Damn BBTS. But yes, it's also on my must buy list too.

Damn. Hot water didn't work, freezing didn't work. The wrist is definitely supposed to be a swivel joint,  but it's stuck. Not sure what else to do.

Write a letter to George Lucas, and tell him the problem you're having.  You can also let him know that you think the expanded universe and prequel trilogy ruined the Star Wars mythos, and that the original trilogy should be restored to it's original form.  He prides himself on really giving the customer what they want, so you should have your problems taken care of in no time.  And what I mean by that is he'll sell you a new version with newly reinstated accessories as well as new CGI enhanced weapons.

I fixed the problem. I pulled the hand out and put it back in. Works fine now.

You can all go back to your drinks, or wherever you guys store your semen.
