Didn't know about the SHF Rider issue. I'm not even into Gaim, but hope it gets out of marketing hell....for lack of a better term.

Woop, got me a Hibiki pre-ordered :cool:.

I was wondering, does anyone know how to tighten up joints on a figuarts? My old Decade's shoulder ball sockets are really loose these days.

The issues with loose joints are only on older figuarts so if you have any newer ones, there won't be any issues but I honestly don't know, you'd have to PM one of the mods or admins who are more experienced with this stuff or wait for a reply as a lot of the members here are new to Figuarts, sorry man :L.

Loose joints can happen on any Figuarts figure. It isn't limited strictly to older figures.

As for tightening them, I haven't done a shoulder before, but I used a little clear nail polish on the ball of the joint and it worked quite well. I've seen in this thread that some people have used a small bit of plastic bag, but I haven't tried that method myself.

Thanks for the advice, I'll give it a try when I can. Atm though gotta deal with my first figuarts fatality....also oddly my first ever figuart. Kamen Rider Ichigo the next ver. His leg ball joint snapped right off. It's a shame as I just finished cleaning the figure after years of dust...

Ouch! Sorry to hear that! Is he repairable?

Say whaaaaaaaaaaaaa?

Beats me exactly how they do it. I read it in this thread somewhere, but I can't use the search thread function on my phone (for some reason) to track the exact post down.

I should try to find that post. I'm really curious how a plastic bag can fix a joint :lol
