I got a screamer I want to fix up and paint. The hips are pretty loose, and the wings are a little bit loose- is there a way to tighten them up? And if I want to paint him do I need to take it apart? What's the easiest way?

I searched around and really didn't see too much...

If' you're going to repaint him then, yes, disassemble him as much as possible. This will allow you to paint each pice individually and also prevent potential gumming of the internal mechanisms. Some parts cannot be disassembled easily though because they are secured with pins instead of screws.

Alright. What about tightening up the joints?

A lot of people use clear nail polish. Others use super glue. Both will tighten up joints, but they will also eventually wear down, so reapplications will be necessarty from time to time.
