I cracked a Crimson Guard torso and swapped the arms and when I put the torso back together it is very loose around the lower torso (Upper torso can spin around 360 very easy).
How do you tighten this area back up?

some of the torsos have a round ring that goes on the bottom torso and holds it in place you may have forgotten to put that back in???

Some figures have a little round plastic cap that sits on top of the lower torsos peg. I believe it is used as a spacer. I have not seen this on all mine that I've cracked but have on some. If this is the case maybe it popped off when the figure was cracked.

Here are 2 options I use, but keep in mind I almost never reposition mine once I place them where I am going to display them.
1 - A drop of superglue or a brush line of it across the back where the torso joints connect. 2 - Sometimes I will pack the inside of the torso with sculpey to tighten the joints before resealing. Will

There is a molded plastic ring around the peg from the lower torso but it does not appear to be big enough to provide the upper torso some constriction of movement. Are you saying there is another plastic ring that goes on top of this ring that may have fallen off?

Rub a little bit of vaseline on the lower torsos knob(not sure what to call it) then use a hot glue gun to put some glue on the top torso. Just need a little bit. |
