Can someone please help me with stiff and loose joints on Celtic.

[The Mighty Wolf]

My Celtic has a superglue run that went into the swivel joint of the left hip, it's stuck, no matter how hard I try to move it.

Secondly the other leg is extremely loose.

Anyone know of how I can resolve these problems, please! [img]graemlins/cry.gif[/img]

can you exchange it where you got it for another?

[The Mighty Wolf]

Nope!

[toymank]

if you caused the superglue leak, you might be screwed, if it's from the factory, you might be able to exchange it

I dont hav any idea, but boiling might soften the plastic up to help with twisting it loose, and it'll mean thepeg wont break off...

[The Mighty Wolf]

Caused by the factory!
My friend who took a Scar off my hands also has the same problem with it, but on its left Elbow.

[chaserfan]

the only thing I could think of to try if you cant exchange it is to freeze it and then try and move it

as for the loose joint.....

try dripping a bit of superglue inside the joint itself (if you can) and move it around every few seconds until the glue dries. That should tighten the joint right up. Just make sure you keep moving it around so it doesn't stick for good.

[chaserfan]

I've heard that on tightening loose joints also, but have never tried it.

did you try customer service?

[werewolfoz]

right, you should also try customer service.

And just for the record, I have tried the glue tightening thing a couple times, and it's worked great, so I'm speaking from experience. Just make sure you're using a liquidy glue that can seep into the joint rather than rubber cement or something...

Elmer's will work for that too.
I've used it plenty.
and there's no risk of permanently glueing the fig.

as for the stuck joint, can you get at it with an X-acto blade?
you might be able to free it that way. I've done it.
