from the knees or the Legs where the metal 0--0 holds them?

if so dab alittle super glue in there and make sure you keep moving the legs if not they'll stick in that pose! Happened to me with my Troopers and now they work fine!

put some glue (tiny bit) in the knee joints...making sure to bend the leg periodically so it doesnt completely stiffen up...thats the only solution I know of...

do you both agree that SUPER glue is the way to go?

The problem is where the metal 0--0 holds them.what kind of glue should i use since he has black legs?thanks for the help.I was so excited to get him but let down quick when he can barely stand.His legs are the most loose I have ever seen for a new figure.

i have some clear coat varnish stuff i use for painting. I just dab a drop of it in the joint and in about an hour its nice and tight.

it costs about $1 at walmart

I've had the super loose leg problem on 4 of the 5 Snow Serpents I have bought. Always the same leg too, the left leg.

Take the upper legs apart and place about three to four layers of masking tape [tiny squares] in the outer thigh housing beneath the white shim. This'll force that shim to make better contact with the metal hip surface. No Paint, no glue, no mess what so ever.

If it's the hip joint, the best method I've found for tightening them, is to take the leg apart, and smear a thin layer of superglue on inside of the tube like shape on the inner thigh, that the T-bar goes through. That extended end of the T-bar slot is the socket that the ball rides in. A little superglue in there, will generate more friction of the ball joint. You can put a little superglue on the end of a toothpick, and spread it around the inside of the socket. Let the glue dry, and test fit it, to see if it's tight enough. If not, you can always add more.

My Snow Serpent had the same problem with the lower joint, on the left knee. I wound up popping the knee aprt, and adding glue to the peg hole, in the knee piece. It's not perfect, but it's good enough to hold a pose. The real problem is that the knee isn't engaging the detents down in the lower leg. Maybe, I should have built those up with some Shoe Goo....
