Some of my figures have this problem (Basic and Elite Shawn Michaels). I would like to know how the arms could be tightened, too.

One of the best ways I've found is to use superglue or superglue and water to make the joint tighter.
For superglue, put a drop or two in the joint you want to tighten, and then move the joint back and forth until the glue drys. If you keep the joint moving the glue won't lock up the joint when it drys. After it drys the inside of the joint gets built up and thus tighter. But keep the joint moving until it drys.
For superglue and water. It's pretty much the same. A drop or two of glue in the joint, then a drop off water. The water turns the wet glue into a crystal type material. Keep the joint moving though until you're done.
Eitherway all you're really trying to do is build up one or both parts of the joint so there's more friction.

The biggest things I've noticed is being able to see a bit of the glue when it's dried. Another, if using water it's like little superglue crystals fall out sometimes.
I wouldn't try it on your Christian first. If you have an older figure, that'd be what I'd practice on.

ok guys i jus got the new Dreamer vs Christian two pack btw great figures but anyways the joints in Christians arms are pretty loose if i throw a punch wit him the arms will be bent and go straight once i throw it my ? is how can i tighten the arms sockets where the forarm meats the shoulder The forearm doesn't meet the shoulder. So which part is loose the elbow joint, or the upper arm that attaches to the shoulder ball? If it's the upper arm I'd say heat the joint with a hairdryer for 1 -2 minutes and pull the arm off the shoulder stem. Then put a small amout of putty in the hole on the upper arm so when you pop it back on the shoulder stem it'll be a tighter fit. If it's the elbow try making sure the pin is fully through the arms wit ha pair of pilers. (wrap at the arm in a cloth so you don't get plier teeth in the plastic.) If that's not the proble them you could drop a drop of Super glue into the elbow joint. But keep working/bending the elbow joint until the glue dries or else the elbow will be glued into that position.
