I Know what you mean, practically ALL my Ironman figures (MARVEL) Are the same way, and my Dark Superman, the one that looks like clark from smallville, keeps falling because his knees are so weak, there is a trick to all this, Clear nail polish OR clear nail Strengthner, but go EASY! if the paint starts to peel, you've added to much :P
Now superman, ironman, and iron monger all stand and pose perfectly! (Works on TFs too!)

True, this is a TF site, however this section is specifically for non TF related toy discussions..

Now about your situation.. The glue trick, that works on ball jointed figs like TF's.. The only way I can think of the glue trick working on a DCUC fig is putting a "small" amount of glue on the joint and moving it around while blowing on it to try and cure the glue.. I don't know if this trick will work because the plastic on those figs is softer than most TF's..
