Can’t wait for the 3POA tomorrow, speak your mind brother, this will be very interesting. Sorry to see you had issues with Zarana, I have two as well and they were both good to go but I did like that you showed an easy fix to help those who did have issues, way to have the communities back.

Thanks fox 🙏

Thanks for the fix. I have the same problem with my Zarana. I think she's the best female in classified so far. Her articulation is how all female Hasbro figs should be.

Every time someone posts a video like this I start going through my figures to make sure that none of them have similar issues. Won't be able to watch live tomorrow but will definitely be stopping by to say hello. Good luck man!

Not sure if you'll find this helpful, but if you don't want to use Crazy Glue, you can try Pledge floor polish, the ones that say Future Shine get the best results. Many Transformers fans use it to tighten loose joints as the polish thickens the pegs and other parts of the joints. Might help here too.

I gotta check that out thanks

Zarana is the first female figure that I ever purchased as a kid so she is one of my most anticipated figures of all time! I had the exact same loose arms but I am so biased that I overlooked it. It is disappointing that Hasbro let such a wonderful figure release with such poor quality control. 😢

Thanks for showing a fix. I had the same issue. The first time, I returned the figure. The replacement also had the same issue but the arm didn’t pop off as bad.

That's crazy you have that issue too! As soon as I removed the figure from her packaging and I started testing out the joints, POP goes her right arm. I still have that right arm somewhere around.... Thanks for the informative fix/review.

I've had to do this fix for a couple of mcfarlane figures. I'm with you man. I love this figure, but the QC is ridiculous. Both arms on mine fall off with the slightest movement.

Pandora and Zaranna look amazing together ! Great fix on the figure , it sucks that hasbro can’t get their qc together … all the more reason why valaverse is better.

Saw you on the 3POA podcast and started watching your channel and subscribed. I'm really enjoying it. Great work and great channel. Thank you

Yes, can't wait for tomorrow, A.N. and 3POA is gonna be bananas

I didn't suffer the loose arms on Dusty or the Crimson Guard, but the moment I got Zarana... POP! Off came her arm and I had to spend 15 mins looking for it cus it shot off the shoulder like a bullet.

You are braver than most😭 I still have childhood anxiety when dropping figures

I got lucky with mine, I messed with it a bit, and doesnt' feel like a loose arm for mine... I didn't get dusty... I'll have to double check my CG"s now.... but that super glue is a damn good idea for temp fixes and such!

Thank you for bringing this problem up regarding Zarana, I've seen the arm problem with Zarana but Dusty and the Crimson Guard I mean damn that sucks. Now I don't know if I want her anymore😑

Yesterday I finally found a recondo. I got home and it was trash. It prompted me to make a video on IG comparing Valaverse to hasbro, but the issues are insane. His paint apps are jacked, both ears have chunks in them, both feet are frozen in place and both lower knee joints are frozen. I didn’t mess with my zarana much but my dusty did seem to have a loose arm and I didn’t mess with him much because he has a knee joint that wasn’t cut properly. I can show you all these issues if you care to see, but I have the worst luck with my classifieds. Even my bazooka has trash legs. This is a long comment, don’t blame you if you pass it by, love the videos you make, thank you and keep it up.

bro, you and 3POA are very good reviewer man

Always enjoy your vids, very helpful fix. Ask Bobby if he’d ever offer a “head pack” with various different looks for both male & female figures especially for the troopers. Some different hairstyles & colors, different skin tones with & without facial hair.

Can’t wait for the party 🎉 you’ll be great!

Nice vid bro! Appreciate you as always!

Yup. My Zarana has the same issue. I came to the same conclusion. It's a great figure but not worth the price. I compared it to the Valaverse Pandora. A more expensive figure that IS worth the price and I do not like paying more but it's interesting that I feel ripped off paying $25 for one figure and then feel I got my money's worth on a $35.

Nice simple effective repair... Thanks. Good luck tomorrow and try to be yourself, you'll be fine👍

Thanks for the heads up. I have her incoming and feel prepared now

With mine it was the right arm and if I look at it too hard it flies off......I heated it up and used pliers to squeeze it around the peg......while holding the bicep with some pressure I ran it under cold water and it seems to be holding.....but I like your method man I'm a try that and see if the combination of methods will work.....man I'm paying $46⁹⁹ up here in Canada for these things....and yea she looks great (btw same issue with Dusty on the left arm) for the money they're looking for God damn Hasbro......fix your shit..........great video man thank you for looking out for the community

Thanks Ninja great video. Mine is the right arm. I am definitely doing this as soon as I can. I think all of them are jacked up Hasbros quality has severely been lacking.

I guess I lucked out. My Zarana and Crimson Guard are straight. I am scared to buy Dusty. Thanks for the heads-up on the fix, cause I may need it at some point. Hopefully later than sooner.

Dang... my Dusty figure has this exact issue. Thanks for the fix solution!

Makes me wonder if Hasbro switched factories for this wave (Dusty, Crimson Guard, Zarana). I'm not saying it's an excuse, but just something that would make sense why that specific area is a problrm on all 3. Hell YEAH they should be complimentary! What's the fun if you DON'T mix-and-match them? To make your own unique versions? Classified, Valavers, GridIron- use'em all!

God bless 👑 Happy Sunday 💪🏿 Congrats with the live show yesterday as always thank you for the information. I just ordered the bloody Pandora to go with my Zarana.

One of the 4 crimson guards i got has a stuck ankle. had to pop it off and shave some material off. Dusty was solid for me. Zarana for me was solid....i dont like where they connected the shoulder pads though..so im gonna get a 2nd one and pull the pads off and attach them to the bicep where the strap is. Lol not gonna lie...i liked the old pompadour look better. Quality for me has been pretty good with the Gi Joes..i have more issues with the legends i got...shit i got boot legs of figmas and second axe figures with less problems then some legends.

I totally agree that this shouldnt be an issues, but great advice as ever. keep it up.

Glad I found this video months ago, finally snagged her on sale annnd... both arms. Pretty much like the second one in the video left pops off but the right holds on a bit better but that doesn't matter since the shoulders are so damn tight. Between Zarana and Ironheart I am just reminded why I haven't bought anything from Hasbro in the last couple years. McFarlane may lack articulation but things don't pop off without heat and force, sometimes what should be excessive force.

I like your raw audio in the little replay.

This isn't just an issue with Classifieds figures, as I have encountered this problem with Character Options Doctor Who figures, as well. It seems as though the increase in price on these modern figures, has also led to a decrease in quality control standards.

Mine came fucked up too! Left arm came off when I pulled her from the package. I dipped mine in hot water then cooled it right away and it helped. I have two crimson guard and I have no desire to open them. Hasbro needs to improve the plastic formula, right now it is too soft. I feel like this is affecting all their lines. It sucks because it is holding the line back. Valaverse all the way! Bobby knows how to make an action figure!

Love the Kitbash customs shout out! Love that dudes channel, and Instagram.

Mine was broken in the box when I pulled her out but I popped it back in and no problems yet.

nice did mine w a gel type super glue easier to control and stays in place got the POA podcast on notification so i wont miss it hopefully again nice issue review yeah the dusty figure is worst i tore the right arm just taking out the clamshell 😂 i had to pin and do the glue thing just for good measure

Damn my bad you had to deal with multiple figs with qc issues

See if Vala/Bobby will give us some sneak peaks of the female gear packs!

I hate on Reddit how many toy collectors love poking fun at people who post a broken toy upon first handle. They love to say things like, “You must be new to toy collecting,” “These are collection, don’t you know you have to heat it or use boil water before you move it?” Like when did so many people come to accept these QC issues? We should never have to apply any heat or make any fix to a brand new toy.

This happens to mine as well right out of the box

Outside of that one QC issue, I still think she looks better than Pandora.

Mine had both arms that easily pop out. I feel the material is kinda gummy and that must be part of the problem. My Crimsom Guard did not have any issues, but the Dusty has the same gummy feeling to the upper arm as Zarana does, but have not popped out on me yet. @Articulated Ninja Reviews do you think that some nail polish could work to fix that instead of the Krazy Glue? Keep the great work man!

Hey Bro, I don't know if I stated on this vid about Me purchasing a second Zarana(which I did yesterday) & She doesn't suffer from any arm/limb problems this time around(thankfully).

Hi, T=MC2, Do you think it has anything to do with your theory of different factories?!?!?! I recall you comparing the "A" and "B" versions of Classified figures. My Zarana and Dusty are "A's" and have no problems. But, I have a Stalker and TF Outback (Both "B's") who have loose hips!!! Not the same problem, but, still a QC issue!!! Well, Now you know, and knowing is half the "Problem", Ha!!! Peace!!!

My zarana's arm loose too, so i fix it using mini screw. I replaced the peg with head of the screw. Works perfectly.

yep some people on reddit also have this issue.

Yeah man my Dusty right arm did the same thing, I was so disappointed the line was so great when the price was cheaper an now they cutting jobs what does that say about qc issues, I was all-in but now I’m not sure and I’m waiting for your 3POA appearance.

Got my Zarana before Christmas and seemed ok but only got her out once, need to double check her. The super glue trick is an old gundam kit fix for loose joints, also paint, nail polish or acrylic floor polish can work. Im just glad the pin didn't actually break! The thigh joints always scare me and I need to go through and heat the various Gi Joes. Stalker is so stiff, I tried him and didn't bend him.

Hey it's Hasbro's answer to kit bashing!!

Seems like that's the problem with making figures with parts swapping in mind, compared to sculpting the new parts that they need to sculpt for each figure. And using cheaper plastics to save money while still increasing costs.
