I acquired a few figures lately. All the joints on the limbs are loose. Is there a way to fix this so I can pose them?

I don't think I can help you there. I have had some luck with new sculpt, and modern figures by putting them in the freezer for a bit, and putting a tiny bit of clay in the joint. But as for vintage I have had no luck in making the limbs tighter.
Sorry |

Np. It's something I been putting off for a bit. Stuck at home, trying to keep occupied. What's that quote...Idle hands are the devil's plaything. I appreciate you offering to help.

If you're not concerned with keeping them in original condition, there are a few things you can apply to tighten them up. Formbx257 has a good video on it, I'll dig around a bit and see if I can't link it for you later.

Found it, here you go. He focuses on knees, but this will work on any joint, though elbows/swivels and shoulder hoops can be a bit tricky.

The workaround I use - for certain figures - especially ones prone to elbow cracks I will buy a few of the figure so I can swap out pieces as needed.
