    Getting tired of the Action Jackson ankle problem!

    I seem to be getting this a lot with AJs, brand new case fresh ones as well. Either the ankle ring/socket breaks when you try to remove the short white boot or they have come out of the socket and I can't get them back in the socket. I've tried hot boiling water to soften the joints but it still won't go back in. Anyone have any other ideas?
    Sorry forgot add, on T0.

    Hmmmm....

    It could be that the boot material is reacting with the leg plastic, drying it out. The riveted ones are always kinda fragile.... there's some weird torque that happens when you play with 'em.

    My AJs are all on repro T2 bodies.

              Personally i think its the boot. If they are mint and case fresh, the boot is very tight and you have to tug quite a bit to get it off and then sometimes the foot comes off as well. Wow, no one has had this happen? I must be doing something seriously wrong in playing with my case fresh AJs

                  The hardest clothing to put on must be the safari one. I was yanking the crap out of mine, to stick the shoes over the socks and nothing happened.

                    Maybe you could contact the manufacturer and see if they will replace them for you?
