Hey guys, a question that has bugged me....
For example, I have a CS12 Arn Anderson, the figure hardly stands up properly and keeps falling down as the joint at his foot, is really weak/loose.
Any solution to make it tighter or something?

get a small tube of superglue, the ones with the longer nozzles
a put a dab on the front and back while you're standing the figure up in the position you want to keep it in
it dries really fast and will keep the foot stable
thats the easiest way ive found
if you play with the figures you have to move the foot back and forth until it dries so it will stiffen but not stay in place

^ No it doesn't. I've tried.
All you can really do is super glue the foot down. But then it wont move at all.

I've got atleast 10 figures with this problem. I haven't found anything that remedies this problem.

pull out the foot pin, put a small piece of scotch tape around the center of the foot pin, this makes the pin a little thicker. replace the pin and it should be tight. it loosens due the the hole getting bigger, so if you make the pin bigger aswell it works. i`ve done this to 20-25 figures already and everyone of them stand fine now. The first on I did was R3 Big Show

put the super glue into the ankle joint, but keep moving the ankle until the glue dries. This will make the joint tighter while keeping it movable. But it's important that you keep working the joint until the glue dries (about 5-10 minutes) because if you stop before it dries the foot will set in that position.

Stick a small tip of a toothpick in it and then clip the extra wood off with fingernail clippers. this works excellent! I do it all the time.......
