    Wave 3 Mattel Retro Action Floppy?

    I wonder if I am mistaken in thinking my figures are floppy, but my Flash and Captain Cold, which I just opened and had bought from Entertainment Earth back in late Jan seem no different than the body types from the prior waves. Especially wave 2, which seem far worse than wave one. In fact, my Green Arrow seemed to have the least amount of floppiness compared to all the rest. My wave 3 guys don't so much as hunch over, but if you handle one at the torso and agitate it the body flops loosely at the waist as do the legs. I mean, they'll hold a pose fine, but I guess I was expecting the revision of the bodies to be tighter in the way my Castaway body swaps are.
    Am I being picky? It seemed to me everyone posting about wave 3 stated the bodies were fixed.

    They fixed the waist, but the legs are still loose.

      Mattel's body still needs some work.
