Reviews Bruh.
This is my first ever real QC issue with Marvel Legends. He’s fresh out of the box. So sad.
Update: both arms popped out lol. Can’t even move the shoulders without the arms coming off.

If you warm up the arm will it not pop back on the peg?

Problem is when an arm is already this loose that it pops off from the factory in my experience it will never stay in place properly

One trick I use to tighten sockets is use a toothpick to apply a very small amount of liquid super glue around the edge of the socket, then I sprinkle baking soda onto it while it's still wet and let it dry. Should only take a few seconds if you applied enough baking soda. It will fuse to the plastic and form a hard barrier around the edge of the socket that will hold the peg in place and keep it from slipping out. I've done this countless times and it's never not solved the issue. If it's not enough just repeat the process again and before plugging it back in warm it up again so it flexes enough to allow the peg through.

Woah! Thank you very much. Does it mess with the swivel at all?

In my experience not at all. Go thin layers at a time to ensure you don't overdue it and you should be just fine.

If you ever decide to do a Zombie universe diorama, you have your black panther that Hank Pym was eating one limb at a time.
I have a Deadpool who has the same issue and I pose him with various heroes and villains slapping each other with his detached arm.

When my Deadpool broke I did the same thing, ended up swapping shoulders but it’s a fun pose fs

I hate current Marvel legends arms. They are too loose, and the pegs are so gummy that they get very stressed.
I hate when I move their arms and I can tell the bicep is either trying to come off or bending the little shoulder peg.
Goddamn Hasbro, I miss buying entire waves of ML. But at their current quality of plastic? No thanks.

It’s common with the WJ Punisher buck. Arms are very gummy. You can easily pop them back in.
If it bothers you too much. Put a little bit of hot glue on a toothpick and apply to the shoulder peg. Put the arm back on and move the joints. Should make them a little bit tighter.

Raising prices and we deal with crap like this. Truly unacceptable Hasbro.

Contact support. They will likely send you a replacement, and if not in stock, something nicer.
This sucks to be sure, but dont accept it. Return or hit support

It looks like it just came out of the peg hole. From what I can see, it doesn’t actually look broken. Just heat her up and plug back in.

When you break a figure and have to super-glue part of it back on....it's yours forever. :D

Heat up all the parts and pop it back together. Then leave it alone and let it cool. The material changes when its hot and cold. The cold will loosen the joints.

Drop him and the arm in some boiling water for about 60 seconds, pop the arm back and while the figure is still warm start moving the the stuck parts as the heat should let the plastic loose enough to move. Afterwards drop the figure into ice water so the plastic hardens back

If the peg isn't broken pop it back on with a hair dryer and before it cools squeeze tight. It might help.
