i got the misa wing zero custom and it has ball joints to connect the main wings to the figure and they are very loose to the point that they keep falling off whenever you adjust them is there away to tighten them to a point were they don't fall off as easily?

Just put a scrap of tissue over the joint.

Thanks I'll give it a try

A tip that I havent used but heard about a few times.

- in the socket of the part that snaps on the balljoint, put a little drop of super glue, spread that out smoothly. Let it dry for a few hours. If the glue is fully dry, snap the part back on.

This should provide more friction to the joint. Try at your own risk
I know a few guys who have done this on brand new ROTF toys that came with loose joints (straight out of the box).

I've heard superglue ruins the plastic. I would use the tissue solution - I sometimes thought about using clear nail polish.

I still prefer the tissue solution. I've got almost 100 gundam models and its great for the ones with the huge wings and things.

Hi Guys,magic 8 ball
Hey fellow Gundam enthusiasts, Dealing with a pesky loose ball joint on my Gundam model. Tried tightening, but it's still wobbly. Considering using a tiny bit of clear nail polish or super glue for a more lasting fix. Any tips or alternative solutions? Want to make sure the repair is sturdy without sacrificing articulation.

I'd suggest "Kiki Fix Loose Joints Action Figure". It's a urethane compound that's safe for most toy plastics, can be scraped away if needed, and comes in a little applicator bottle. A little goes a long way, and it doesn't react or leave a crusty residue like using glues to tighten joints does.

Certainly, Loose ball joints can be frustrating, but there are a few methods to tighten them. One option is to apply a small amount of clear nail polish or super glue around the joint, allowing it to dry before reattaching the wings. Another method is to use a small piece of tape wrapped around the ball joint to add friction. Be cautious not to apply too much force, as it may damage the figure.
