Help! My Generations Springer Has Loose Shoulder Joints!

Postby Prankmeister » Thu Jun 06, 2013 12:15 am

So, yeah. Got Springer in the mail today, turns out neither of his shoulders are even strong enough to hold up his arms, let alone his accessories. The problem seems to lie in the ball joint connector deep inside the shoulder piece. I've heard really good things about using Plede Future Finish, should I track some down and try that on his shoulders? I really want to try to avoid having to send him back, seeing as the loose shoulders is the only real QC issue mine has. Many thanks in advance!

How about clear nail varnish? Worked wonders for my United FnR's legs.

I tried some nail polish, but it came off really easy.

Did you let it dry at least overnight? I left the leg joint on my FnR figs for about a full day or so, and the varnish dried rock hard.

Leaving in under or near an air-conditioner helps the drying process, too.
