My Kenny Omega figure was falling over quite often. His ankle joints were so loose. Such a small flaw on such a great figure. But even a small flaw can weigh heavy on the mind of a loose collector.
Then one day I realized that the rubber bands that I use for my Invisalign (braces) could maybe work. They were the perfect solution. They aren’t noticeable at all, I didn’t have to permanently alter the figure in anyway, and now he stands up on his own and can have fig matches without his toes pointing all over the place.
If anybody needs a couple of these it only takes 1 per ankle. Hit me up and I’ll send you some. I get them for free from my dentist.

I been using use those for a few years now on Mattel’s with the left loose shoulders. My Omega doesn’t have lose ankles just one leg noticeably longer than the other. I wish it was a loose ankles issue over this.  |

I wish it was a loose ankles issue over this. Do you think this small rubber band problem will fix a loose leg? I have another fig who has a loose right leg, at the hip. Was thinking if this might work to fix it up and just make it a bit more sturdy. |

I cut a small rectangular piece and then wrap around the peg. If it's still not as tight as I'd like, I'll remove it and wrap a bigger piece. |

So you just put the band around his ankle pivot? Or do you have to remove the foot and then put it back on?

Just did this to the green Omega and it’s so much better now. I also put them on Moxley. I have a bunch leftover from my separator so I’m good to go.

Fixed my Omega 1 and RSC exclusive today. Thank you! |

I think I'll use this to get the AEW figs to sit on the WWE RSC bases better. They barely help ATM.
