Hello guys. I just pulled out my box of old Xevoz out of boredom and started reassembling them. They're really cool, except for the fact that their joints have loosened from overuse, making them hard to pose (some limbs just fall right off, actually.) I was wondering if I could get a fix for this. I use sticky tack, which temporarily fixes the problem but looks very ugly and is hard to manage. Does anyone else have this problem?
Help would greatly be appreciated, thanks.

Nail polish, dude. Seriously.
Whenever my figs had loose ball joint problems, I'd coat the ball part of the joint with nail polish, let it dry and plug it in the socket to test it. If it was still loose, I'd do another coat. Until the joint became somewhat stiff again.
Some people do the same thing except they use super glue. Apparently that works well also. I'm sticking with the nail polish method myself.
