Silicone shock oil is AMAZING. Using mbv07g's instructions on 2005, I got just the residue of oil off the bottle on the tip of a toothpick and applied it to a ball joint thigh so tight it would actually seize in place in certain positions. I couldn't see any fluid transfer on to the joint, but as soon as I started working it around, the joint smoothed out perfectly. Without obtaining any more material from the bottle I was able to fix the other thigh. I could probably do several more figures with the tiny amount of this stuff still on the end of the toothpick.
I wonder what else I can lubricate with this stuff? |

I have them in the cockpit setup still. I might switch it up to the roll call poses sometime. Looks really good with all the helmets behind them.

Okay, I need help. GokaiYellow's right hip ball/socket is waaaaaaaaaay to tight. I need to get the leg off and shave the ball and socket, but I can't get it off. It's that tight!
Any suggestions? EDIT: friend told me this was the main problem with Wild Tiger, if that helps. Last edited by Blade Raider; 02-02-2012 at 11:22 PM.. |

God damn I am loving Ouja, this is one of the most expressive Figuarts I own. His giant assortment of hands, his excellent neck joint and the character/design all work so well together. The only real problems I have with him are how his arm ports are loose(probably designed to be removed for a future Gai's Strike Vent) and his bicep joints are a bit tight.
Gatack is pretty great too, his joints are some of the smoothest I've had on any of my figuarts. I do need to superglue his right kneecap on though.

Taking it apart and shaving off isn't the correct approach. Go on amazon or ebay and buy something called RC Shock Oil. It's a pure silicon lubricant that doesn't react to plastic. It comes in different weights, viscosities, but most people buy 80wt. It'll cost you about $5 and last a lifetime. Then, run a toothpick around the lip area where the liquid has touched, but isn't right now. You just want a little residue, not any actually liquid on your toothpick. Then apply that to the exposed areas of the ball, you don't even have to take it apart, and work it around. It should be fixed after just one treatment and you don't have to physically modify your expensive figure at all.
