I recently just bought shf Vegeta. Out of box his shoulder joint is really loose. I'm pretty sure its just a normal ball and socket that I could pop out, glue the socket to tighten and call it good.
I just wanted to make sure. Anyone have any experience with a fix like this? I just dont want to end up ruining the figure. Any input would be great! Thanks guys!

I hate when that happens to my stuff too! Do you still have the receipt? If so, I'd just bring it up to the seller's attention and see if you can get a replacement. (Hoping that you did not purchase it on eBay)

I don't have any DBZ figurarts, but I think you can put a dab of the Krazy glue and just keep working the joint to prevent it from freezing up.

If all figurarts body are more or less the same, then these should serve as a guide

I didn't do that, that was from King Ranger, the customizer, the torso does have glue, but can be pried apart.

So I tried, I didn't want to kill my figure and break him open. I tried popping the joint out, not possible. I used a tooth pick to put glue in the socket, didn't reach deep enough. It may be an impossible fix...
