I have Animated Lockdown, and he's a great figure. However, mine has a hip joint that keeps coming loose. Does anyone know how I can fix it?

P.S. I'm new to the website so I may or may not have posted this is the right place.

For the ball joint a couple coats of clear nail polish should tighten it right up.

Apply the coat and let it fully dry and try the ball joint if its still loose add another coat Repeat until the desired tightness has been reached.

I should add to this, just to be clear: take the leg off first, so you don't accidentally glue it together, resulting in an immovable joint.

Yes, yes. Remove the joint first. don't try to apply the nail polish with the ball still in the socket.
