Loose joint issue... Nov 21, 2012 2:45:18 GMT -5

So I was at Walmart tonight and they had the aisles packed with pallets getting ready for Thursday. A Mattel WWE fig case caught my eye so I asked the lady to open it and it was the Booker T series...

(I recommend Jericho and Christian to anyone looking too, both were excellent figs up close, may go back to get Jericho for an update. Will post pic of Booker after I go hunting tomorrow morning)

Anyways, I just took Booker out and he has a HORRIBLY loose head. I mean, if I shake the figure, he head bangs. any suggestions on how to get this particular joint to stiffen up?

I've seen people suggest dipping in boiling water then placing in the fridge if you do a head swap, will this help if the figure came like this though?

You can heat up some water and hold it in for a bit and try pushing the head down on to the peg to see if that works out.

If that doesn't work, you can pop the head off and put a bit of cotton into the actual head and pop it back on to the peg.

Awesome find. The Booker T figure is perfect in my opinion very good figure. Jericho is awesome to as I've had been trying to find a mattel jericho for a while.

It's still loose but -- not wobbly anymore.
