Another Decepticon to join the party! I added a coat of clear nail polish onto the knee joints of Soundwave since they were very loose and he kept toppling over. Now it's all good!
@Leon: Ya, this doesn't occur often, but it does happen sometimes. The worst one for me was the movie Abomination figure, the joints were so loose that he could barely stand up. I haven't fixed him though because usually repainting them will fix the problem.
@Mario: Ya nail polish works great, but I think it would be a better idea to apply it onto the cup part of the joint. I applied it onto the ball part and when I pop it back in the socket, it scrape off some, but that probably increased the friction in the joint also. You can also use paint, but I think nail polish dries faster.
I used clear nail polish on the loose thigh joints of my TFTM Deluxe BB and it works! And it's true that on a hindsight, I agree that it could be better to apply the nail polish on the cup part of the joint :D
You got it MISB for soundwave and the knee is loose?! Hm...
ReplyDeleteNail polish, eh? Hm, maybe I'll have to try that, mine has a really loose leg.
