Does anybody else struggle with stiff minifig joints? For example, I want to move a minifig's head, but the body ends up shifting instead. It's sometimes as if the head is glued to the torso. This sometimes happens with the arms, too. Any advice on how to loosen the joints up? It'd be of much help.
Lucky for you, this has been asked and answered several times before.

This has been an issue from day one of animating for me.
I used to prefer stiffer minifigs and was forced to change this preference as I developed further and further as an animator. Now I prefer loose joints, but not so loose as to move a joint at the slightest bump of the set.
Whenever I get a new minifig, I break them in in by moving the joints around constantly and even taking them out and putting them back in over and over.
