I like using clear nail polish myself, but to each their own. I didn't realize it before - but holy shit! They do look like sisters, and will be so in my head cannon from now on.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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
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.
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. 😢
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!
Dang I wanted a. Zarana or 2. Fwoosh had a good idea: making her a bounty hunter! I’m thinking a mandalorian, maybe fetts daughter. She reminds me of what she would look like. For now she’s just a character in a book. But she’s a tough chic like zarana
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.
Articulated Ninja Reviews Bro many thanks for this review. I totally agree with what you say regarding Hasbro/ML & G.I.J. Classified for the money they're demanding for at least have the figures as a finished product. Keep up the good work Bro. This helped a lot.
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.
Awesome vid. My wife actually laughed out loud when you knocked off her arm with a finger. I’ve not noticed this with mine when I reviewed her, but I’ve had a few drinks and will check her when I’m a tad more sober. Can’t wait for 3POA
Articulated Ninja what great live stream on 3POA channel. Bravo loved what you had to say and you had some great question for Bobby Vala. Keep up the good work so sweet😎😎😎😎
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.
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.
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.
Awesome fix Ninja, I never had any issues with Zerana but I definitely same issue with Dusty. Looking forward to the podcast. Tomorrow. Have a great weekend 🤙🤙
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. I do have a question any information on any vehicles lately 🤔 I get so many positive feedbacks for my helicopter you helped me find last time from your videos. Either way always listening Keep up the good work 👑
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.
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😑
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!
Got 2 as well, and both mine her arms fall rt off like she is a mafex first addition Wolverine. And hopefully tomorrow on 3poa u do as talker art said, keep ur identity hiding still. Dress in ur action figure character that you did in ur video when you shows yourself to the world. Your our true to life action figure who can edited and has the ability to entertain as u do with the stuff you come up with.
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). The first one I took your advice & the arm is a lot better(I might recoat it just to give it more grip). Again many thanks, I also purchased Robert/Roberto(Recondo) as you call Him😂😂
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.
Can you ask Bobby Vala if we can get a plate carrier/ vest pack? i would love to get a large tin can of vests like he did with the guns box. I have been putting valaverse vests on many of my joes & other figures.
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
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.
Great content sir but I will be honest the drop test had me cringing the whole time as I think most of my stuff would break apart dropping them onto concrete your a brave man!
Just subscribed I am brought up on honesty is the best policy. Thank you for your reviews and part of a community telling the truth in the toy collecting community. You Rock Articulated Ninja Reviews!!! ;)
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.
Yooo! My friend I went over this problem with this figure in my review as well and this is horrible that Hasbro made a great looking figure like this. Big fan of your work I love the video on this figure and the exclusive Action Force figure.🤙🤙🤙🤙
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!
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.
You shouldn't have to fix anything ...but you know hasblow quality has dropped over the last ten years big time ...sorry about your fig glad at least you can fix it
Ninja can you ask Vala when we will be able to get another Bloody Pandora if we already picked one up. I am giving the first one to my daughter. Thanks brother.
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.
Lol same happend to me Ninja, ty for this video. Also krazy (which is kola loka here in Mexico) dries faster when baking soda is applied (little quantity).
Damn King, I thought I it was just my Zarana. Thanks for the hack. I'm definitely looking to the podcast. Please ask Vala about the upcoming Action Force vehicle and the accessories pack for the female troop builders.
smh MULTI billion dollar company and we gotta fix their fuck ups... this too damn much. thanks for the info on how to fix and bro that show with 3poa was badass keep up the awesome work.
I'm really big on planning ahead so I don't get caught off guard. If we can ask Bobby a question or two. I would like to know when that Rezvani toy truck is possibly coming and a price. I want two at least. One to keep pristine and one to kit bash. Hopefully that will slap Hasbro awake so when can a jeep or Hummer out of them for a decent price.
Yes im sure updates on that will be big news he might wanna announce on his valaverse channel. But maybe he ll give us some type of tease update on it. I hope it happens
F**king awesome! Thank you! I was ready to pull what's left of my hair out with these new wave of figures. In fact, prepare for this problem to show up on Cover Girl. I saw a reviewer who already has it and his popped off. So...this is the future of Classified :(
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!!!
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!
Dude, that sucks because for us or collecting it just to put it on the shelf is one thing but what if a kid buys this house it out of the box for two minutes and the arm falls off I remember buying crap like this when I was a kid, and that pisses me off
The QC issues with Hasbro figures have been pretty crazy, not with just Joes but with Power Rangers and other Hasbro lines as well. Most of the window packaged figures I keep in the box but with them going windowless I'm opening the newer figures. Hasbro needs to fix their quality control.
in Canada, those are $50 a pop! I have 14 Joe figs, never noticed any of that, but I just pose them in a window shelve. I m old enough to have had practically all collection from 82. and... in retrospective, there was too much characters. I m not doing this same mistake this time around. ok, those are bigger, more expensive, but even then, I m more picky now. I ll make my point simply, it s bad management from Hasbro. cranking all these figures so fast, and not enough of them. it used to be 2 yrs shelf life span. now it s what, 2 months? I missed a lot of figures I wanted, and there s now available many that I don t. they should have made a classic distribution as in 82. I have no troopers, and only pythonised vipers and bats. I never could get the regular ones that I honestly like better. it looks like chaos to me, it s not fun. it feels like a rat race with excessive stress attached. I wish it was like the old days, spreading the spending over years. troopers, vipers, bats, should be plenty to buy. if quality is compromised on top of all the mess, only the most hardcore fan will buy this. it s all wrong, collectables in principle is seriously flawed. they should release as regular stable distribution toys. they make less money, and we have less fun - satisfaction. I d have at least 10 figs more on a more reasonable business model. Barbie s in charge for sure, no man, or fan would do such a mistake. they fired over 1000 employees lately, well, I m not surprised considering the current management. you should do a video about this bro, improve the scene. now you know, and knowing is half the battle! good work.
Nice fix, I’m going to have to do that to mine.

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.

Either way always listening Keep up the good work 👑
Thanks and vehicles are hard to come by man hopefully I find more soon
Outside of that one QC issue, I still think she looks better than Pandora.
Photography and videography is🔥🔥 can’t wait for the podcast tomorrow!
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.

Simple fix. Thank you. Awsome review. Yea... Hasbro needs to get their shot together.
Man they do look fantastic together!!
Got 2 as well, and both mine her arms fall rt off like she is a mafex first addition Wolverine. And hopefully tomorrow on 3poa u do as talker art said, keep ur identity hiding still. Dress in ur action figure character that you did in ur video when you shows yourself to the world. Your our true to life action figure who can edited and has the ability to entertain as u do with the stuff you come up with.
Another question for Bobby , how about an Action Force cartoon!!
Hes focused on the live action movie
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). The first one I took your advice
& the arm is a lot better(I might recoat it just to give it more grip). Again many thanks, I also purchased Robert/Roberto(Recondo) as you call Him😂😂
😂 ayyee you got robberrrtt lol hope you enjoy and im glad you have no issues with your 2nd zarana
Welp, you beat me too it on the fix.
Great video as always.
Brah, it is worse for Power rangers lightning line figs. Hasbro needs to do better. Loving what you do and how you do your reviews.
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.
OH YEAH...That's a MAJOR Q.C. issue for me!
Nice vid bro! Appreciate you as always!
Can you ask Bobby Vala if we can get a plate carrier/ vest pack? i would love to get a large tin can of vests like he did with the guns box. I have been putting valaverse vests on many of my joes & other figures.
Can't wait to see you on there.
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

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.
yep some people on reddit also have this issue.
💯 I bought two of each figure. Two in box for collection and two out for display and use. 👍
Great content sir but I will be honest the drop test had me cringing the whole time as I think most of my stuff would break apart dropping them onto concrete your a brave man!
He’s done drop tests in his previous videos with accessories and figures ! Every time it’s extra cringe but AF holds up fine 😂😂

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

Nice simple effective repair... Thanks. Good luck tomorrow and try to be yourself, you'll be fine👍
Dope video, my Crimson Guards come in tomorrow, gonna be looking out for the loose arms salute
My Zarana is OK, but keeping that fix in mind.
Use some nail polish in the whole and 1nce it dries then reconnect, it'll make it tighter
Ninja busting out some crazy balls! Great fix sir. Looking forward to your 3POA debut. 👍😎
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.

You shouldn't have to fix anything ...but you know hasblow quality has dropped over the last ten years big time ...sorry about your fig glad at least you can fix it
I think it’s haslow’s mass plan : let’s give them windowless packaging because we know we’re cutting back on the qc department.
Ninja can you ask Vala when we will be able to get another Bloody Pandora if we already picked one up. I am giving the first one to my daughter. Thanks brother.
Love the Kitbash customs shout out! Love that dudes channel, and Instagram.
My Dusty is like that. I’ll have to check my Zarana cause I didn’t notice on her. My Dusty is the bicep swivel tho
Hey it's Hasbro's answer to kit bashing!!
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.

GREAT IDEA using Krazy Glu...I did the same thing to tighten the joints on my DC Multiverse figures
Yea those guys be loose loose sometimes😂
@@ArticulatedNinja FO SHOW, Krazy Glue has become my BEST FRIEND for quick fixes on loose-ass joints.
My zarana's arm loose too, so i fix it using mini screw. I replaced the peg with head of the screw. Works perfectly.
Lol same happend to me Ninja, ty for this video. Also krazy (which is kola loka here in Mexico) dries faster when baking soda is applied (little quantity).
Thanks
Oh, good lord Zarana's arm snapped off like when Thanos did that snapped your his fingers and your dead thing.

I haven't had a problem with my Zarana.. yet.
I totally agree that this shouldnt be an issues, but great advice as ever. keep it up.
Damn King, I thought I it was just my Zarana. Thanks for the hack. I'm definitely looking to the podcast. Please ask Vala about the upcoming Action Force vehicle and the accessories pack for the female troop builders.
Will do
smh MULTI billion dollar company and we gotta fix their fuck ups... this too damn much. thanks for the info on how to fix and bro that show with 3poa was badass keep up the awesome work.
Thanks Grimm 😁
I'm really big on planning ahead so I don't get caught off guard. If we can ask Bobby a question or two. I would like to know when that Rezvani toy truck is possibly coming and a price. I want two at least. One to keep pristine and one to kit bash. Hopefully that will slap Hasbro awake so when can a jeep or Hummer out of them for a decent price.
Yes im sure updates on that will be big news he might wanna announce on his valaverse channel. But maybe he ll give us some type of tease update on it. I hope it happens
Can’t wait for the party 🎉 you’ll be great!
Have that same issue with Duster
F**king awesome! Thank you! I was ready to pull what's left of my hair out with these new wave of figures. In fact, prepare for this problem to show up on Cover Girl. I saw a reviewer who already has it and his popped off. So...this is the future of Classified :(
Damn that sucks I've been waiting to get covergirl in hand
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!!!
Looks like Disaronno got that molded in backstrap! My girl! And you’re absolutely right, love the way these two babes look together.
Zarana! No clue who Disaronno is! Maybe Destro and Zarana‘s illegitimate baby!
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!
Dude, that sucks because for us or collecting it just to put it on the shelf is one thing but what if a kid buys this house it out of the box for two minutes and the arm falls off I remember buying crap like this when I was a kid, and that pisses me off
The QC issues with Hasbro figures have been pretty crazy, not with just Joes but with Power Rangers and other Hasbro lines as well. Most of the window packaged figures I keep in the box but with them going windowless I'm opening the newer figures. Hasbro needs to fix their quality control.
True
Thanks for the heads up. I have her incoming and feel prepared now
Well Lenny did say that they was using a new buck for these figs. 😁 Maybe they should stuck to the old style.
in Canada, those are $50 a pop!
I have 14 Joe figs, never noticed any of that, but I just pose them in a window shelve.
I m old enough to have had practically all collection from 82.
and... in retrospective, there was too much characters.
I m not doing this same mistake this time around.
ok, those are bigger, more expensive, but even then, I m more picky now.
I ll make my point simply, it s bad management from Hasbro.
cranking all these figures so fast, and not enough of them.
it used to be 2 yrs shelf life span.
now it s what, 2 months?
I missed a lot of figures I wanted, and there s now available
many that I don t.
they should have made a classic distribution as in 82.
I have no troopers, and only pythonised vipers and bats.
I never could get the regular ones that I honestly like better.
it looks like chaos to me, it s not fun.
it feels like a rat race with excessive stress attached.
I wish it was like the old days, spreading the spending over years.
troopers, vipers, bats, should be plenty to buy.
if quality is compromised on top of all the mess,
only the most hardcore fan will buy this.
it s all wrong, collectables in principle is seriously flawed.
they should release as regular stable distribution toys.
they make less money, and we have less fun - satisfaction.
I d have at least 10 figs more on a more reasonable business model.
Barbie s in charge for sure, no man, or fan would do such a mistake.
they fired over 1000 employees lately,
well, I m not surprised considering the current management.
you should do a video about this bro, improve the scene.
now you know, and knowing is half the battle!
good work.
🦖: All in all. That is a great fix. & I can't believe I never thought of that. 👀👀
