The joint that connects the long arm to the rest of the arm is really really lose on the right arm. I was just wondering if it's on any one elses soundwave, and if it can be some how tightened?

Ps it's not the ball joint it's the joint under the swivle that's under the ball joint.

Don't have that problem, but you can probably fix it with a layer or two of nail polish or super glue. Just make sure you give it plenty of time to dry before you reassemble it :)

Thanks for the advice but the lose joint is where the metal circle is on the black plastic.

It's one of those pic joints that can't be dismantled I think. Try putting nail varnish in there and moving it around for 20 mins while it dries.

Well I fixed it. I put nail polish on the joint and waited for about 3 hours for it to dry. It's nice n tight.

This is why you should invest in a soldering iron. A small one.

Put the tip on the flat head of the screw/rod thing, warm it up for a few seconds. (no more than 10, maybe not even that long) It'll soften the plastic, you'll be able to pull the metal out.

Coat it in glue or something, let it dry and then push it into place and it'll make the joint tighter than before.

Works on other figures as well.

Nope. Don't have the problem.
