An Alternative Way To Tighten Loose Action Figure Joints

I have seen several ways to tighten the loose limbs on Kenner Star Wars action figures - everything from a brush on liquid that is supposed to fill the gap to teflon tape. I have used the latter with success; however, it doesn't always stay in, especially when a child plays with the toy, as my son does with the vintage figures. My method is very simple, but you need specific materials to do the job: Step 1 - Use strip or rod styrene plastic, heat it up with a hair dryer, then wrap it around the loose joint. Step 2 - Drip liquid styrene plastic glue into the joint where the new plastic is. The glue begins to dissolve the thin plastic, making it adhere/smear onto to the Kenner ABS plastic. Step 3 - Rotate the limb, pressing it into the body, thus compressing the styrene plastic. Step 4 - Wait for it to dry.
