one of my RA31 jillian's had a loose arm and i left her in the freezer for over a day and it didnt help at all, i took a cotton ball tore it into small pieces and used a needle and pushed the cotton up in the shoulder and the arm is fine now...
hope i helped

Haha, I pictured Encino Man when I heard that. Joints get loose, it lets you know they've been through war  |

Get some Krazy Glue, apply it to the joint. Move the joint around while it is wet so that it doesn't get stuck. This usually works when customs are made and end up with loose joints, so it should work there.

I'm kinda confused how the Krazy Glue wouldn't get stuck. Because when it eventually dries, wouldn't it still lock the joint? I could see it creating a small layer over it but wouldn't it just chip and be a quick fix?

Not really, cos the glue creates an added layer of friction so it is not so loose now.
We didn't ask u to keep moving it around and play with it though! Hehe..

Model glue is a safer alternative to super glue, the bond is able to be broken after it's dried, so you won't have to worry about getting a figure's limb permanently stuck.

I've actually tried the whole "freezer" thing before. Sadly... it doesn't work.
