Hey man i had the same issue with my vega and i too was thinking about unglueing him...but all you have to do is blow dry the legs from the thigh down for about 2 minutes then apply pressure from the thighs to which ever side you want your vega slanting more too.. It sounds risky but trust me it works..try to keep it in that position until the legs cool down

Mine weren't really broken. The leg on the Cammy has a magnet that attaches it to the body and is reinforced with glue. Both Cammy and Ken arrived to me with the legs loose. I suppose it can be glued back on, but I refuse when I spent over $200 for it. I shouldn't have to repair it.

I totally agree, the statues doesn't come in cheap. As a matter of fact its making a hole on my pocket. I think issues like this must catch the attention of the manufacturer or the distributor. To give additional attention to Q.C. it doesn't hurt much to ask someone to overlook stuff knowing it has a previous problem. First one had issue was Vega tilting stance, then 2nd Cammy loose legs. Thus SF line is very limited and not even more than 500 pieces on any character both EX & reg combined. Customer satisfaction must always comes first I'd say. The thing is us sending statues back is not saving them any money its practically making more back-log on their work. rather than addressing the situation from the beginning which is the factory side.

I do hope to see my very first Ryu EX next year. wont be here till end of January.

You have to take the stitching out of one side of the shirt. If you do it carefully you won't damage it and can sew it back together later.

hm, I thought someone mentioned that it is possible without doing that with Ken, because it's possible to take his head off. But cannot find the post anymore :/
