The Energon Pub

so i baught ha sideswipe a couple days ago but i find that the doors keep popping out of thier ball joints. the joint is to loose. i know this happened with a couple animated figures so is there anything i can do about it[

apply small amount of either nail polish or super glue to the joint, but keep rotating it with the parts attached or else the joint would be forever stuck.

To correct this some...

Remove the door.

Find the ball of the ball&socket.

Get some nail polish and brush an ever so small amount of it across the ball.

Let it dry completely.

Reassemble.

If the joint is still loose, repeat.

Very small layers of nail polish!

Use superglue, it tends to be more durable. Put a small amount of glue on the ball, leave to dry for at least 20 minutes. Make sure it's really hard - test it with fingers and fingernails. When properly dry you can reassemble it.
