Loose Joints - How to fix?
Bought a voyager optimus prime and megatron but left it in the car in Texas heat. The plastic warped a little bit but I thought the toy would be okay. Now the ball joints are very loose. Had the same thing happen to a silverbolt (fuzor) I left in my car years ago. Is there a way to fix this?

Clear nail polish. Ask your significant other for it (and pray she won't give you a funny look), pop the ball out of the joint, apply the polish on both the ball and socket and let it dry. Pop the ball back in, and there ya go.
Well, if the plastic isn't too warped.
