If its the ball joints thar are the problem, pull the arms or legs apart and put a little bit of super glue on the actual ball point and let it dry for about a half an hour.

Some people use clear nail polish instead, but I've always had better luck with the glue. Just make sure the glue is dry before you put it back together or you'll have the limbs fixeed in place for good.

You must be talking about those flatheaded bolts and pins that are very difficult to remove. If that's the case I can't really help you, other than to look at the Transtopia kitbash forums.

As for the toys, what toys are you talking about?

If you are talking about ball joints, ROSIN is a good choice...just need to use a little bit powder on the ball joints, you can even stand the figure with one leg...

I've always used clear nail polish and let it set for about a half hour and had the best of luck with it...
