How to Loosen Toy Joints: STUCK vs TIGHT

[@EvolvedKing24]

For all of us collectors, this information is very valid to us.

[@transformerstoytalk8393]

This video was very helpful. From the differences to the reasons why stuck joints happen. Thank you!

[@ChonkeyChief]

Thank you so much you just saved my halo Spartan figure. It’s joint was really stuck and I used your method and it worked. Thanks again I was about to return it.

[@misslanie23]

Hey! Thank you for this video. I got a X-Men figure that had a stuck arm the heat method worked like a charm.

[@darkhorse744]

I'm having trouble moving a joint, but it's made of Metal. I also can't get it to fit back into a peg it came out of.

[@gunnys1445]

Thanks Steve this helped a lot

[@godzillamaniac8548]

Yeah, just got the Hiya Toys Ghidorah Gravity Beam Ver. and his knee just doesn’t move. I’ve took the hair dryer to it THREE TIMES. Every time it didn’t work. Idk what to do

[@KingOfFire617]

Can I use oil for my tight joints

[@andrewestrada6531]

I used silicone shock oil

My Hammond Collection Giganotosaurus's left ankle doesn't move, does hot water work to smoothen it?

[@Uguguabbabaa]

I like how you use the hair dryer for almost exactly 20 seconds lol.

[@AsmodeusGamingAdventures]

I just got my new Berserk figure and the hole in the optional hands are too small to put them on the joints. Any tips on how to loosen the hole or enlarge it?

[@bigboyjn4919]

Heat up the hands with either hot water or hair dryer then slowly and carefully put them on the wrist joint so they can mold to the peg

[@jippy45]

@@bigboyjn4919 hope this works! i'm gonna try this on mine

[@jippy45]

@@AsmodeusGamingAdventures I used a hair dryer and pointed it at the holes for my Nobara figure. Worked great!

[@luccazaron7260]

i got the peg that connects my revoltech wolverine to the stand stuck inside the figure and it snapped off will the hairdryer method work to get it out?

[@Optiumcrime]

I have an ss 49 bumblebee transformer and his entire body is like a brick so this was extremely helpful

[@Ruinkenshin]

Did it work? I have the ss 92 Crosshairs and one of his bicep swivels is stuck

[@Optiumcrime]

@ I assume you’re using the heat method? If so it does work very well but maybe try in hot water before a hairdryer or something like that because when I did it I actually loosened his door joints too much so now they’re a floppy mess because of the heat from the dryer

[@Ruinkenshin]

@ ohhh okay thanks!! And you should try Kiki for the looseness it’s very helpful

[@Optiumcrime]

@ thanks for the tip but I actually had the 5 pack bee and I preferred his blackened out window panels so just replaced them because they match the colour of the og figure

[@Ruinkenshin]

@ ohh alrightt, also do you have any ss you’d be willing to sell?

[@jgabriellicam8832]

Awesome video! Definitely helped!

Does baby oil help loosen joints?

Diddy?

[@ShinGoji1987Official]

Great video! Thanks for the information

[@metroplier8392]

I have a amazing yamaguchi revoltech Superman and I'm supposed to connect his plastic cape, the hole for it is too small though. How do I make the joint fit in without breaking anything

[@daily-hamato14]

Can I use an eye drop??

[@nova_xt]

Help i have almost stuck torso joint on my mafex

[@unnamed715]

I have a bottle of sewing machine oil that I sometimes use on PC case fans, would that work or would that make them _too loose?_

[@ellismark2750]

Does the hairdryer thing work on model kit Abs?

[@jinl5887]

Hope the hair dryer will work on my nightcrawler stuck waist

[@quintonbrooks7536]

Dose dish soap helps on figuarts

[@PowerCatto]

Can we use just random plastic bag to put them in the hot water if we dont have ziploc and hairdryer?

[@just_an_internet_explorer8038]

No. Put your figure in a bowl of water (make sure the water is covering the figure) and put it in for about 6 minutes. It’ll be hot, so make sure to have someone on that protects your hands

[@stevenlim8942]

Bro, if i use silicone oil it is works?

[@Dakingalbert2]

My s.h legendary son goku leg is stuck and not fully coming out his left leg wont go up all the way like the right one

[@DDGHB106]

Thank you for the tip bro I got the Zaria from OverWatch or right leg is just like red hulk's arm. 💯💪🏾😎

[@mattmcewen1771]

Will this work on transformers figs also?

[@christianlarsen6792]

Does this work on shf figures and mafex?

[@burning1995]

Steven, I'm in quite a pickle. On the S.H Monsterarts Godzilla Ultima the both arms move but then go back to where they were, So the problem is that the balljoints are too stuffed in there. Now on a SHMA Gojira I had the same problem with the leg. Heated it, and the middle I guess the stick broke in half due to the heat. Now I was thinking shock oil but I'm not sure how I would get in there. Maybe just soak the whole figure in dish soap? Worried about the lifespan of the paint though. Please give advise would be extremely helpful.

[@Handle4241]

Are you all good now?

[@burning1995]

@@Handle4241 I ended up soaking the top half of the figure taking off as many unnecessary parts as possible to try and not damage the paint. It ended up working for the most part, may have to do it again.

[@tacotrooper6539]

Great video! Question how to I tighten loose joints?

[@StevensToyReviews]

I have a video on that!

[@Thehalfman1234]

I put the loose joint in the microwave and then put it in the freezer after I put it back on the figure

[@StevensToyReviews]

This is the first time I am typing this sentence Do not put your figures in the microwave

[@DemonFromSun]

So I have the new kid Buu figure dropped from tonsenarttoys. The left shoulder is just impossible to move. I tried heating with hot water to move it I've tried heating with a heat gun too and when heated up it moves but once it cools it locks up. What do I do?

[@StevensToyReviews]

Well, what else did I suggest? Try it and let me know!

[@franciscomanzano9200]

Same thing for me demon have you done anything to fix it?

[@DemonFromSun]

@@franciscomanzano9200 use some dish soap. Like a drop of it and then move it inside of it eventually it'll work itself into the joint.

[@franciscomanzano9200]

@DemonFromSun okay thank you so much

[@rainyy8227]

What if i dont have a hair dryer

[@Handle4241]

You might have to get one

[@sharpdiamond3363]

What part was wrong? I’m just asking because I wonder if I have the same issue

[@manjubaashiniraghunath2533]

I unfortunately have a stuck waist joint. It's glued together. How can i fix this?

[@just_an_internet_explorer8038]

You can’t. If it’s broken and only being held together by glue, you have to replace the joint or piece of the body that is broken
