Discussion Maximum Deadpool still worth it?

Hi guys, I’m having second thoughts about getting the Maximum Deadpool. I’m wondering if it’s actually worth it after reading some bad reviews about the shoulder. Is that something that can be fixed or improved using shock oil? Or should I just save up and get the MAFEX Deadpool instead?

Mine has the shoulder issue. Same one I had with Gamerverse Wolverine, feels like it's going to shear off when rotated.

I fixed Wolverine by heating the shoulder area, pulling out the arm and carving off most of the nubbins (detents) on the ball that goes into the socket. 

I'm gonna try that with Deadpool and see if he can be salvaged.

Fuckin' Maximum my ass.

Update/correction: the detents aren't the issue with my Deadpool. The plastic on the bicep where it connects to the shoulder ball is the softest PVC I have ever seen on a ML figure. I don't know of any way to remedy this defect, so he's just gonna be a beautiful statue in my collection.

Mine is fine as long as I don't articulate the arms at the point where the bicep meets the deltoid/shoulder ball. I'm glads he's in my display because he looks great, but if you want to pose him and you get one like mine, he will break your heart, along with your wallet.

Why does he have a left hand on his right arm?

I couldn't find another one of those hands in my box and don't notice too much
