Hey tank,
I hope you guys can help me out with an issue I am having. I love my MTF figure, but I am having trouble keeping the tiny parts on his web gear and body to stay in place. I can't even keep his shoulder pads on. There are so many holes to fill and it seems like when I start on one a different piece falls out. In the lucky event I get all these little parts on half will fall when I try and put his guns on or pose him. This is becoming a frustrating task. My question... I don't want to permanently glue them on since I am changing up his look often. Is there any type of sticky adhesive or glue that is only temporary and will not damage the figure or gear? One that can maybe be washed off. I want to gear him up, take some pics then pull everything apart. Any other ideas on getting these things to stay in place? Thanks

Try snipping bits of the plastic crack bags they come with.

I had to cut some of the posts on the gear slightly shorter with a razor as they were too long, especially on those armored shoulder pieces. Had no problem staying on afterward.

I remember buying these clear sticky squares at michaels. They were called sticky tacs and were clear and sticky as hell, but they pealed right off. I think I am going to get a sheet and dab the part all over to get it sticky. Then insert the part.

Or just use a little bit of the actual putty. Poster Putty, I think it's called. Or maybe just get any kind of putty (not Silly Putty, though).

Range! Tex! I have used those dots and they do work but they are so small they are hard to hold to cut to size (maybe my thumbs are just too big ha), but blue poster putty worked best for me and at least for me, it's easier to tear off.

Hot glue or rubber cement should do well enough I would think. A bit better hold than the poster stuff but still removable.
