Warming Figma joints

I ordered a Konata Figma from Hong Kong and its joints are a lot more stiff than my other Figma's. I was told that warming the joints makes them more flexible. Is this true and if so how do I go about doing that?

Well, i just had a feeling that it might be a fake, my figmas doesn't have joints problem...and warming them might destroy the pvc...try twisting them abit more, might loosen them. But if it breaks, them...ahem... :'(

do what i do when the joints feel stiff

1. move the joints till you feel safe moving them
2. move the joints loads and at a moderate speed

Turns out it was a fake

for intrests sake dude name me these 3 things

1. what figure is it?
2. where did you get it?
3. how much did you loose?
4. how do you know it's a fake??

Knew it...damn pained for u...3ViL-8aY? I really hate the Hong Kong sellers there...that's the reason y i nv want to shop or post there...

It was a Konata Izumi winter uniform Figma, I got it from a seller in Hong Kong on eBay, and I paid 30 bucks for it. I knew it was fake when I saw the joints in the knees compared to my other Lucky Star Figmas, and the box was a darker color. the head broke off, but I put Yutakas head on so it really isnt a big deal, it wasnt a total loss of money. I found a store in my town that sells the Konata figure that I ordered so ill be buying another one at the end of the week. Still a huge pain though. I still am expecting a Revoltech Yotsuba&! figure from eBay, so i did some research into fake Revoltechs but nobody has reported any, so im hoping this doesnt happen with my Yotsuba&! figure

Just an advice, the price for revoltech's Yotsubato isn't very high when she was sold on the market, so don't take the reverse and ends up overpaying for her.
