I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the correct spot, so forgive and direct if I am.. My question, I think, is a simple one.

On some of my TF toys the ball joints are loose; for example the lower right arm on Alternator Wheeljack droops when a weapon is placed in its hand and the feet on WFC Bumblebee flop around too easily, so I was wondering if there is a way of making them tight again? Thanks in advance.

Put a coat of clear nail polish or superglue on the ball and let it completely dry. Keep adding layers until desired tightness is achieved.

Shy away from using super glue unless it's ABSOLUTELY necessary. Future Floors floor wax or any clear nail polish are your best bet.

Thank you, I shall try the nail polish.

I second RAcast's recommendations. Nail polish works like a charm.

I've used tiny bits of scotch tape around the ball itself or even a tiny scrap of paper folded to the appropriate thickness stuffed into the socket. A nice non-permanent solution that can be modified for the appropriate tightness .
