I recently got my shipment of Classified figures. My Snake Eyes has 1 very loose foot and the waist/ab crunch is also pretty floppy.

So I was wondering if anybody has any tips/hacks for these problems?

Also this thread can be used to discuss any other useful tips

Thank you if you can help

My Scarlett's right wrist is so loose that it falls down when she's holding her crossbow. She also has just a touch of bobbleheadedness and a loose bust/mid chest joint. But really only the wrist is something I would considering trying to fix if I knew how.

The only other figures I've opened are Troopers and they are both ok.

I know that in The past with loose figs i used some furniture polish and worked it into the affected areas and it helped to stabilize the joints.

Try Pledge acrylic floor polish

I've used the Pledge (it used to be called Future I think) before with some success on MOTUC figures (it never does anything for 3.75" Joes though). I don't really see how to get it on the wrist joint for Scarlett.

It may be named something else now, it’s been years since I bought a bottle for this purpose (one bottle should last forever if you are just using it for a Figures loose joints. I use a 1cc syringe and squirt it in the loose joint and work the joint until it stiffens up.

I don't have furniture polish to hand but I did find some clear nail polish, would that be any good ?

Nooooo. Don’t use nail polish remover. That could damage or melt the plastic.

If anyone was wondering, you can take figures apart. The arm comes off at the bicep too but is not removed in the picture.


Unfortunately, you can't take apart the ankle that I know of but it's a common issue with all the Hasbro 6" figures. It's how lucky you are if it's loose or not.
