I recently bought a new set and noticed that the right leg of one of the minifigures is extremely stiff while the left is normal. I don’t want to mess with it too much because the plastic on the right leg appears to be bending. Is there a way to fix the stiffness without the chance of the leg breaking?

I’ve only done this with old Minifigure parts, but I’ve taken the leg off and cleaned both the joint and the leg with a baby wipe.

I’d suggest taking the leg off and putting it back on again, but your concern about the peg twisting makes me think that won’t be a good idea, you might rip off the peg.
You could try heating it with a hair dryer it something. Take care not to do it for too long or it’ll get really loose, and don’t touch it cuz you know, it’ll be hot.

Remove the leg and clean off the connection points with a wipe.
There might be some grime causing friction.
Lick it…
