Ok First is on the 25th A Cobra legions 2nd Set.
Why if its celebrating 25 years do they have SS and CC in Valor vs Venom outfits??
Don't get me wrong, I love how they look but wtf?
2nd Question, why is it that every cc I get , his arms don't bend. my CC that came with the 5 pack's, only 1 arm can bend!!!!
3rd, does any body know how you can like tighten up a joe's arm or leg?? My Firefly's leg is coming loose and I want to go ahead and fix it.

1) CC and SS are just quick repaints. They were cheap and for some reason made more sense to the big "H" than additional troops. Were extra SSs and CCs mandatory then Storm Shadow really shoulda been a teal Ninja Viper. That would've been awesome. As for CC, they should've made a black costume hooded Commander or Red Laser.
2)25th CC doesn't have very strong forearms due to the wrist joint being so close to the elbow. If you run his arms under a little hot water they should loosen up a little bit.
3)I'm assuming it's a classic Firefly and not the 25th one. Here's some help on fixing joints:
elbow and mid bicep and knee. You need and index card or a piece of paper and some super glue. Dab the glue on a a corner of the paper and slide the edge in the joint. Pull it out so it doesn't glue the paper to the plastic though. Then move the joint. It might a shot or two so just keep going until you've got you desired feel. The idea is you need more friction in the joint and the glue will provide that when it dries.

Where's it loose at? If it's either knee joint then the superglue trick would still apply. If it's the upper leg then unscrew it and either flip that small white rubber piece, or put a little bit of wadded up tissue in the there and then screw it back up. :)

1) Because VvV happened during the last 25 years.
2) Because 25th Ann. figures are shoddily made and apparenbtly more geared towards MOC collectors.
3) Give Hasbro yet MORE money and hope a new one lasts longer, or don't open it as per answer 2...

Maybe they'll actually listen to you, because they sure don't pay any attention to me.
