This is a good workaround but I recommend using a water based polyurethane for loose joints. It's basically Kiki's Fux Loose Joints I did the paper trick with my Raid on Onigashima Luffy and i just stretched out the joint and became too loose
Put a bit of super glue in the hole then put the leg peg in and keep moving the leg joint so it doesn’t set and get stuck. Keep moving it for 1-2 minutes and the super glue will create an extra layer in the hole making it less loose. I’ve done this to some of my shf and Star Wars figures and works like a charm for loose joints.
I actually found that if you add wax paper or parchment paper it has wax on it or it's slick enough right it tightens quite good. Normal paper is great or even the plastic that covers the joints when it's new works great too.
Rather than a paper towel, tape, glue or sticky tack, I use a little piece of the plastic that comes with the figure that protects the paint. Doesn't necessarily work any better but it keeps it a little more original in my mind lol
Yo! just put glue around the ball that goes in the socket, but don’t let the glue make the leg stuck in place.. constantly remove and place the leg back in until the glue dries.
Heating up the limb and digging the peg out can cause damage to the figure. Try this: Hold a nail with a pair of pliers and heat the nail. Stab the broken peg with the hot nail. Screw a tiny screw into the hole in the peg you just created. Once you have several threads of the screw inside the peg, pull the screw out with the pliers and the broken peg will come right out with the screw.
I did this with my 1.0 Vegeta Blue, and for some reason it gave the ankles better articulation on one side than normal? Idk how that happened but it did 🤷♂️
I want figuarts to make an all might figure, there’s something about the paint in the revoltech that feels too dark to me. A season 7 all might figuart I need desperately. I have heard about bootlegs and the paint not being safe, is that the case for ct toys?
I don’t wanna get the goku super hero figure because I’ve seen complaints saying it breaks easy and it’s too loose and I genuinely like the premium look on the SROE so I think I might get the SROE
Fold it don’t crumple it, it’s just like using super glue to create a layer to add more friction

put tape around the ball socket and it should work perfectly, worked for mine

If all else fails, coat the ball in clear nail polish, wait for it to cure, then reattach.

Or... You can try adding a drop or 2. Of crazy glue. Then starch the leg. And keep it moving around for about a minute. And. It get. Good as new
Yea I’ve tried that technique before but I wanted to try out what the commenter said to see if it worked and show others as well!

You could also wrap tape around the ball joint
Just use the plastic that comes wrapped on the figure waist when opened for the first time and put that in the socket it’s the easiest method
I really need to know how to remove a broken peg from a hand
Put it in hot water or use a hair dryer to soften the plastic and take it out. I can make a tutorial if you need.
@@UnraveledPicturesTM yes please!! The main issue is that I don't know which tool to use for removal

You can use a drop of super glue and let it dry before reattaching the piece, it would be a more permanent fix and works most of the time, greetings!
Use Kiki loose joint fix
Works like a charm

I’m making another custom skar king figure but with the original playmates figure and right now I’m adding a ball joint to his head
nail polish or super glue works'
Another way I fix loose joints is using clear nail polish. Put like maybe 2-3 coats of it and you should be good
That’s good you got that all worked out, you should tell ct toys to make an All might Revoltech figure

Use some kiki joint tightener.
That is a really cool figure
Stuff a tiny bit of cotton in instead of paper, that should help with mobility
I feel like there's better ways yo fix it, for example you can layer the ball joint by layering it with glue. Specially liquid glue with a q tip
2 loose arms and 1 left leg could you help me for some reason (i live in Cuba)
Might have to do with my ssj4 vegeta both his legs are so loose
I don’t wanna get the goku super hero figure because I’ve seen complaints saying it breaks easy and it’s too loose and I genuinely like the premium look on the SROE so I think I might get the SROE
It’s the same price aswell
The leg connector is cracked
No paper towel is better. And dont use a ball, Use a tiny square (or any shape) put it over the Ball socket, and attach the leg.
I use sticky tac for my GT figures what difference
Have you tried super glue modding?
Pretty disappointed with the QC issue. Seems like it's a problem on this release.
I used kiki’s joint fix solution
Use cotton for more safety
Tape also works
I did that in a way with my sh figuarts raid Luffy
Fold the paper
Glue tap
No put some regular top coat nail polish from your gf/wife and let it dry few hours the joints will be tight like new
Just use gorilla mounting putty
its goku just buy a new 1
