Ah ok, how about yours? Are the shoulders of your Barney a little bit loose too?

Congrats, bro Jayvee! 
He is indeed a keeper.
How loose is loose, bro? And where did you get it? You can still take it back and show them how loose it is, I'm sure any retailer would entertain you rather than ruin their reputation. They will open other boxed sets they have in stock (if needed) to check the other figures. You deserve nothing less, bro.
That's frustrating!

That's frustrating!Just got my MISB Barney for $160! Very happy w/ it! Highly recommended figure!

I'm sorry dude but I think you misunderstood - I haven't bought mine yet. But I plan to, hopefully within this week. I heard about the shoulder problem while I was at a toy store. Sorry for the miscommunication!
Oh I see. Then goodluck getting him. Check it thoroughly right after you bought..much better if you open it at the store in case there's a problem you encounter. Great2 figure I say!

Hmm how can I explain this? Hmm he's not the kind of loose that when you put his arms up it will swing downward or somethin'...it's actually in the appearance when you looked at it, there's a little gap between his shoulder & his upperbody esp. when you move his shoulder downward, you can like sneak inside the upper body..that kind of loose. Is that your Barney's case too?

Yeah, it's very subjective when you said "loose".. The little gap you are mentioning may just be the gap seen in different angles around the joint of the shoulder.. Then again, I might be wrong. If you can post a short video here of the loose shoulder, we can compare with our Barneys, bro..

I guess it's official, the holster located in the back is not in the packaging anyone have a spare they want to sell?

So you can't take it back to the retailer, bro?
By the way, I'd love to see the whole photo of your signature!

jayveeeusebio, I know what you are talking about, the only way to fix it is by tightening the screw that holds the shoulder joint but the only way to get to it is by removing the rubber/plastic top and tightening it with a screw, I have a L-shape Phillips though so that helped a lot.
Otherwise you are looking at a return for another body.

unfortunately, no.
though I have found some ebay auctions for these loose at a cheap price so i may just do that.
lol, the entire photo will make you go

Hmm maybe. Unfortunately, I don't have a video or digicam here in my dorm so I'm afraid I can' take a vid of it. I guess I'll just try to return this to the store & compare it to their other Barney fig. Thanks for the concern bro!

Oh I see. Do I need to pull the whole arm off to locate the screw & tighten it? Hmm too bad I don't have a L-shape Phillipis..could I borrow yours then I'll ship it right after I use it?
I think i just return this to the seller & have her check it for herself to make my replacement. Thanks for the info bro! Appreciate it!

That's exactly what happened to me. His arm was loose when I got it, it eventually fell off. I had no way of tightening the screw. Sent it back to my ebay seller and he is currently getting it exchanged.

Oh I'm sorry to hear that. Good thing he's being replaced. Gotta return this one before it fell off too.

Guys, I got a question: Just got my Barney yesterday and I noticed that when I extend his arm (left side) a little bit, it creates a big gap bet. his shoulder & the upper body. Here are the pics:
Can your Barney's shoulder extend his arms downward up to this point where you can see a big gap bet. his shoulder & his upper body? (I can't do this on his other shoulder..it shows a minimal gap only) Is this normal to his shoulder or it needs a replacement?
Let me know what you think. Thanks guys!

Does anyone know where I can buy a bike at a reasonable price that will go well with Barney and Arni from T2 at the same time?

The rubber upper torso is probably just on wrong. Pop off the head and try sliding the chest down into the correct spot. The loose body I got from TA does that too, but its just the chest moving around a bit is all.
