So Firefly didn’t show up in yesterday’s shipment—he must be in the next one—but I did get my Lowlight and there were no issues there. I had heard some say that his torso was loose as well.

No in-between option? Mine is loose, but not super loose. He doesn?t flop over but is noticeably looser than my other figures
Got mine from a local e-tailer |

I'm not sure these pics really show how bad the problem is on mine, but I did my best to give you an idea.
Since the whole upper torso is basically just balanced on that small inner peg instead of snugly down into the waist section, he just wobbles around terribly. That with the loose ab crunch is a bad combo. He looks okay just standing in a static pose, but he's too loose for more dynamic posing. It feels like he's just not fully assembled but no amount of pressure "snaps" it together better. |

I received this figure today from Hasbro Pulse and was really disappointed that it's so loose. Turns out I haven't logged in on this site in five years, but I had to on this one. I haven't bought a lot of the Classified series but Firefly was a must have. It's terrible the issue seems to be so widespread. I'm thinking of contacting Hasbro Pulse about it. Has anyone else done so yet?

I got my Firefly (body only) from ebay and it was fairly tight, still had some slight looseness compared to normal figure, but it was not bad. I put some blue tac into the waist joint and ab-crunch joints and it's solid and stable now, so I at least have a normal FF body now whenever my FF from Pulse arrives.
I'm going to wait and see what my Firefly coming from Pulse is like before I vote here though.

I received my Firefly from Pulse today. The ab crunch is loose but not terribly so. There is still enough resistance in the ratchet/joint to stand up straight or hold an action pose. The waist gap is more significant, but it's easily covered by the belt. Overall, there are definitely some QC or design failures here but the figure is still satisfactory for me. IIRC, my Arctic Storm Shadow has a much looser ab crunch but he's packed up at the moment, so i can't check.

Got mine from the Pulse, no issues with the joints really except the upper elbow joint was a bit tight at first, but all good now.

I finally got Firefly. The mid-chest joint isn't loose. I can shake the figure by the legs and that joint doesn't flex. When I move it, it does move very easily but it's not jiggly. As for the waist, the gap is there, but not as noticeable with the belt in place. If I shake the figure, he does jiggle a bit at the waist but he doesn't move into a new position, so I'm glad it's not as bad as I was expecting. I can live with it. In fact, my biggest gripe is the chest strap which is too big for Firefly. It moves so easily when you touch it and I would've preferred a snugger fit. I would've voted somewhere in the middle had there been the option but gave it a positive vote since it's not a super loose catastrophe.
