    This is definitely a lifesaver for stop motion animators. Loose joints make animating much more difficult. So thank god this exists

    I just got this stuff and IT WORKS GREAT!! if you own a store or shop that sells action figures you owe it to your customers to purchase this and put it next to your register 2hen they check out. Offer it to whoever purchases an action figure before you ring them up. This is a win for everyone. You get at 10 dollar upsell and they get a product that truly does what it says it will do. THIS STUFF IS AWESOME!

    My black series royal guard has the exact same ankle problem. Glad to know there’s a good solution besides glue! For some reason glueing a figure feels wrong to me and I feel like I’m harming the figure, like writing inside the pages of a novel, so this could be a lifesaver! Thanks for the tip!

    I wonder what the "ingredients" are. As a kid I used to fix my GIJoe\transformers with a drop of superglue in the ball socket or joint (keep moving it until it dries) and for years later used clear nail polish or future floor wax (which was like $5 a quart.)

    Is this a permanent solution or temporary? I've used super glue on my mega construx figures loose joints and it seems to work, but I'm worried over time the joints will loosen up again.
