I recently got the albino lizard. once the joints were freed up, he moves fine. The only joints I’ve ever had consistent issues with in this line are thigh swivels. some of those I’ve given up on getting to move.

I haven't been able to figure out what's up with their bicep swivel/elbow joints. It felt to me like one was impeding the other. The biceps would only move when the elbows were in a certain position.

Some don’t move at all, others the bicep spins so free it’s kind of hilarious.

The only joints on any of my six figures that I've struggled with were the ankles. Way too loose on the human characters. And got worse over time. I have to use clippy-arm stands to keep Krieger and Who-Man upright. Ball-and-Chain Warrior, so far, is the only human figure with pretty solid ankles.

Never had problems with any other parts of the figures, though. Everything else has been pretty buttery smooth.
 
I was testing mine out again last night because I got shipping notification for the ones I ordered last week and was getting psyched. Jaeger needed heat on his arms but once they got moving they were fine. Who-Man is perfect. All of the lizard guys have knees that freeze up when they get cold, and I think something about either the wash or drybrushing they do on the scales really fucks with the bicep swivel because all three needed some help there. I can't get White Lizard Dude's swivel to work at all, but the other two just needed a lot of hot water. Fortunately the swivel above the elbow is so good I don't really miss the bicep swivel on the one who won't move.
 
And, given that they literally went into production on an entire run of feet that they sent out for free to everyone that ordered the lizards originally, they seem like the kind of fellas that would help you out if it bothered you enough to message them about the stuck joint.

True enough. I mean they even make a note that you DON'T need to order new feet if you order one of their older figures because they already updated the next run (I had an "OH SHIT" moment last night since I ordered Ko'mo and didn't get extra feet for him but he's good to go).

I'm thinking I leave Albino Lizard on the shelf over the heating vent for the day to get warmed up and try again. I was able to get all the others working.

Freeze him first. Then let him warm back up. Sometimes the sudden temperature change can help shock any excess paint that might have gotten into a joint and allow it to come free next time you try to move it.

Look man...lizards are cold-blooded, so of COURSE they are going to be all stiff and sluggish in cold weather! Get those lizard guys a heating lamp, and some crickets to eat, and they'll be good to go!

I wish I had enough of a property line to get out and shoot action figures in the snow, because the white/albino Lemurian figure would look amazing in the snow with a bit clinging to him like an ambush predator.
 
I just got my shipping notice for Warrior with Ball and Chain, and Krieger the Shunned. I've been wanting to try these guys out for a while. If I like these two then a Varnok twin will be quick to follow.
 
Just got an update for my stuff, too, gonna be here on Wednesday. So glad I didn't go overboard trying to find the barbarian types on eBay when they were sold out everywhere.

I was literally on ebay pricing them, and was taking a moment to think about it when I came across this thread and saw that there was an in-stock sale. Saved like 30-40 bucks per figure.

Co-signed that Lizards are my bottleneck. But they're also my favourite.
