from the knees or the Legs where the metal 0--0 holds them?
if so dab alittle super glue in there and make sure you keep moving the legs if not they'll stick in that pose! Happened to me with my Troopers and now they work fine!

put some glue (tiny bit) in the knee joints...making sure to bend the leg periodically so it doesnt completely stiffen up...thats the only solution I know of...

The problem is where the metal 0--0 holds them.what kind of glue should i use since he has black legs?thanks for the help.I was so excited to get him but let down quick when he can barely stand.His legs are the most loose I have ever seen for a new figure.

I've had the super loose leg problem on 4 of the 5 Snow Serpents I have bought. Always the same leg too, the left leg.

Take the upper legs apart and place about three to four layers of masking tape [tiny squares] in the outer thigh housing beneath the white shim. This'll force that shim to make better contact with the metal hip surface. No Paint, no glue, no mess what so ever.
