Has anyone else been frustrated to open up thier Joe's and find that thier figure has loose/dangling legs? Any suggestions as to how to remedy this problem?

I do dislike this alot. What I do to remedy this is take the legs apart and put superglue on them. I then let them dry and use an exacto knife and shave off a little until it fits back into the leg and isn't as wobbly.

So you brush some on plastic or the metal? Sorry if this is a dumb question...I don't have experience with nail polish.

I remove the legs. Apply a drop or two of CA on the metal ball joint. Wait until it dries, then reassemble the figure. Legs are no longer wobbly.
