I just picked up the Joe's 5 pack, and Flint's rubbery, loose hands won't hold any weapons well at all. Is there a way other than gluing a gun in his hand to get them to hold things better? I was wondering if there is a process to shrink the hands and make them tighter.

This works for me:
1. Boil water. 2. Dip the figures problem hand in Boiling water for Approx. 30 to 40 Seconds. 3. Pull out of boiling water. 4. Quickly form the fingers on the hand into a new position better for holding guns. Be careful, the plastic is pretty darn hot at this point... 5. While holding the hand in the new position quickly run it under cold water for 20-30 Seconds. This should cause the plastic to hold it's new form. 6. Stick into freezer for Approx. 5-10 minutes to further "set" hand in new position. 7. Let the figure thaw out a few minutes before moving his joints again. Hope this helps. |

Okay, the first person who thought of this should win like the Nobel Prize for Chemistry or something. LOL. I tried this and my Storm Shadow can actually hold his swords now; such a small thing, but it makes me incredibly happy when my figures can actually hold onto their weapons. LOL.

You can also... Take your hair dryer, put it on high, heat the hands for like 30 seconds, shut off the dryer & quickly close up the hands, then run them immediately under cold water let it dry & your good.
