Hey y'all, I just made an account specifically for this question, but I think I'll stick around for more.  My Elite 36 Stardust's arms are loose. Not his arm joint that connects to the torso, but the upper arm piece that connects to that. It swings around rather easily and it's a little annoying. Any good ways to fix it at all? I really like the figure and don't want this to be a con. |

this is what i know
1. you can wrap teflon tape around the peg or nylon foil or whatever to make it thicker.
2. you can cover the "walls" around the bicep hole to make the hole thinner
3. you can glue the arm, lose articulation
4. you can do no1 and no2
5. a tiny rubberband on the swivel

You can heat up the pieces and pop the arm off. Then fill the arm hole with superglue and pop it back on. Keep spinning the arm around until the glue dries. Doing this will still give you articulation, but the extra super glue inside will cause more friction giving you a tighter joint.
Make sure you don't keep the arm still while it dries though.

Some electric tape around the peg works just fine! Just apply it tight enough.

Brush some superglue onto the peg and let dry, then reattatch arm *** AFTER GLUE DRIES***. Problem solved.
