    I have a Blade figure which has very loose joints, anyway of making the joints tighter? The leg joints are especially loose. [img]frown.gif[/img]

    Super Glue! Put a little bit of super glue into the joint that is loose and work it back and forth while it's drying. It will dry and tighten the joint in the process, just don't stop moving the joint until it is completely dry or it will get stuck in a weird position.

    The only thing I can suggest is taking *OLD* superglue, adding a drop to each joint, and working it in.

    Make sure the glue is old, so it won't set immediately. Also, keep moving the parts back and forth until the glue dries completely (24 hours).

    If the joint is still loose, try it again, then wait a day.

    Depending on how loose the joint is, you may need to repeat the process a few times until it's tightened back up.

    &lt;Waits for the requisite marijuana joke&gt;

    lol you shoudl almost be lucky to have loose joints! [img]wink.gif[/img] (if you're talking about loose hips)

    a transplant from another figure's ball joints woudl work, but you could also try a little superglue while wokring the joints, or boiling it in water a little, sometimes it'll loosen up the joints, sometimes it'll stiffen 'em up, I have no idea why it'll only do it sometimes [img]tongue.gif[/img]
