Marvel Legends Beast | Fixing Loose Joints

[@tomtudorweaver1078]

Definitely gonna have to try this on my ML comic Mysterio, the joint holding in the right arm is so loose that it spins like a helicopter blade and can't hold a pose at all.

[@mr.kazupremiumfantasy1126]

In terms of paint detail, it probably could use more air brush detail on the fur and more shading on the face.

[@avielthealienfromplanetmex5679]

4:19, so how do you remove the shiny it? Talcum powder?

[@Justin-ts3ig]

You could probably just use a matte varnish/finish on it.

[@LifewithBrock]

Exactly. I'm a dummy. I said I was going to show it but I didn't! I'll do an update video and post it to Instagram.

[@mcrmaza]

@@LifewithBrock Dude link to instagram please, can't seem to find it maybe because i`m just a casual there.

You are so patient 😄 nice video

[@Production.labsforfun1]

Does this work with the classic carnage

[@NowUndefined]

I just found your channel from this video, I'm looking forward to checking it out

[@kuldipbinning1989]

Cool. Use the plumbers tape, never thought to use it for loose joints. Any suggestion for frozen joints like the hip ball joints for the Wendigo from the Hulk wave.

[@LifewithBrock]

Sometimes you can use a hairdryer on the hot setting for about 45-60 seconds then carefully work loose.

[@Chalor.]

The thing I've always known about Pledge floor care is it's great for adding gloss (like making eyes/a mouth more realistic). Heard about that on the Sideshow Freaks forum regarding 1/6 figures. Plus, it's easy to take off. But now because of you, I've found out it can be used for a multitude of things besides floor care and glossing up parts. Nail polish and super glue is what I've heard about tightening up joints..but Pledge would be a *much better* choice.

[@LifewithBrock]

There are many techniques out there. Always good to add more tools to the belt and test what works best for you. Pledge is the Windex for customizers (Big Fat Greek wedding reference)

[@rm2972]

Life with Brock did you explain how you take the gloss off?

[@darkseid2021]

@@LifewithBrock As the other guy asked: If we wish to remove the finish, what do we do?

[@ishmaelsielforge2814]

How would you fix a loose torso swivel joint on a ToyBiz figure?

[@pathfindertoysph4977]

we dont have that particular pledge in our country. Is there a substitute I can use? what exactly is it so I can look for something similar to it

[@LifewithBrock]

Look for kiki liquid on eBay or Amazon. It’s better than this.

[@avielthealienfromplanetmex5679]

3:29, I use to do this with my 5 points of articulation figs when Inwas a kid. Only I used the toilet paper method.

[@The82bstewart]

Awhile back you said in a this week in customs video you wanted a Colossal Trex for customizing when they went on sale.. they on clearance at most walmarts right now for $25.

[@LifewithBrock]

Thank you sir!

[@transformersoptimal147]

This so helpful can’t wait to do it if I have to thanks also Can you show how to fix gambit’s ankle problem

[@LifewithBrock]

I didn’t have a problem with mine...or did I?! What’s the problem?

Can he do a back flip like the old school toy biz 90’s Beast ? 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@thousandwolves952]

Yo brock beasts face looks shiny on camera does it look like that in hand?what do we do to take out that shine?

[@LifewithBrock]

Yo! Yes it does. Check it here kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWWZaIuPqpuWp80 You can add a matte finish. I'll make a short video and post to Instagram maybe this weekend.

[@blacknight710]

Thanks for this video tutorial brock.

[@LifewithBrock]

Yessir!

[@mooreinstore2770]

I'm going to have to get some plumber's tape for my AI ninja with the Star Wars head. Thanks for the tip!

[@LifewithBrock]

You are welcome!

[@christisrisen6774]

Please can someone recommend a place, or site where I can buy Replacement Sh figuarts Wrist ball joints. I can't find them ANYWHERE. I Found wrist ball joints in different places but they are too big. I have a lot of Sailor moon figuarts and the wrists are breaking Thanks

[@LifewithBrock]

Try ebay

[@avielthealienfromplanetmex5679]

Needed this tutorial btw, I haven't tried this method.

[@dragonblade5511]

My Beast is a bit loose in the elbows. Can't hold an arm straight out without the upper arm joint giving out a decent amount. Would this method work there as well?

[@LifewithBrock]

Yessir. Add a little let dry, test, and repeat until desired effect.

[@dragonblade5511]

@@LifewithBrock Awesome, thank you! And as far as getting rid of the shine, I know there's a thread below that talks about it but I'm not quite sure still what to do at that point? I also haven't been able to find anyone saying how to remove it later like you've said. (Thank you for the tutorial btw! Some loose joints have been driving me mad the past few days. xD)

[@LifewithBrock]

You can use a matte finish spray (krylon) or Vallejo matte (which is a liquid)

[@themechanic31kd]

For me I have the vintage wolverine and it's not the joints in the hands they pop out easily one time I was posing it and the hand just fell, out and I lost it, I found it eventually but is there a way to fix that

[@LifewithBrock]

If it’s a friction issue you can do the floor shine trick or maybe try some plumbers tape around the leg.

[@themechanic31kd]

@@LifewithBrock I mean the hand comes off easily because the hole in the arm for the hand to pop in is to big

[@LifewithBrock]

doggy boy 46k you could then add some hot glue in the opening or you can make the wrist peg thicker with Plummer’s tape

[@themechanic31kd]

@@LifewithBrock I'll. Try

[@edgar69895]

My hugh jackman wolverine boot is so loose looks like it doesnt insert all the way is they a pledge floorcare fix or another issue

[@NathanSimmonsSworn]

Great tutorial Brock! I swear by Floor Polish or nail polish for Transformers.

[@LifewithBrock]

It’s the Windex for collectors!

[@privateprivate31337]

Great tip with the plumbers tape for the loose head. I always think about using hot glue or rubber band. BTW, did you know about Beast's hidden articulation? If you pull on both legs they pull out like import figures

[@LifewithBrock]

I recently saw that on IG. Pretty cool!

[@fratersanguinous9243]

I definitely prefer this method over using super glue. I've accidentally froze joints up using the glue, and it leaves a white residue, this is definitely waaaaaaay better. Also you said you can use that to thin paints down, does that affect the finish of the paint in any way? Like say I use it to thin down a paint with a matte finish, will it wind up satin looking? Anyway, great video as always man, keep up the good work.

[@LifewithBrock]

It will. It makes it look glossy (good for metals and wet areas like the eyes and mouth not so good for clothes and skin...unless it's blood). So what you do is just spray or paint a matte finish on it.

[@fratersanguinous9243]

Thanks for the heads up man.

[@knowledge7761]

Love your work and channel. Had a question were can I get fodder parts easy and open marvel legends figures been looking with no luck any help you could give I would appreciate

[@LifewithBrock]

Thanks Chris. Best place is on Facebook in the marvel legends groups.

[@santi_erre]

Brock please give us the repaint tutorial!!

[@themechanic31kd]

For me it's my hulk and wolverine. my hulks right arm shoulder joint is loose and the wolverines left arm shoulder joint is also loose

[@takiyah0526]

Does this work for every Marvel legends figure?

[@LifewithBrock]

Yes

[@greatwhiterex83]

So does it work for arms as well sorry late to the game

[@LifewithBrock]

As long as it’s a friction issue, then yes!

[@ludwigvanbubthoven5692]

How long does the Pledge repair job last?

[@LifewithBrock]

I haven’t had any issues yet with some going on 4 years.

[@ludwigvanbubthoven5692]

@@LifewithBrock Thanks. I might have to try that. My Sasquatch BAF is one of my favorites, but it's as loose as a wet noodle.

[@MarvelLegendsUK]

Beast never walked up right, figure is balanced to stand in a slightly over crouched pose - My head on the Beast went exactly same way after a few poses too

[@eMdibroM51]

Or you can just use matte finish Mod Podge too.

[@knightwalker317]

YESSSS HE GOT THE PLEDGE FLOOR CARE PLAYA’S

[@rleeroberts6350]

Whenever i encounter a figure with loose joints...i put the figure in a vessel and pour HOT water over it and submerge the figure for about 3 to 5 mins till all the joints become extremely rubbery ..i straighten all the limbs out and leave it to dry and cool off on a towel for 24 hours...dont fuck with it...as much as youd like to...just leave it alone ...and i ALWAYS get amazing results...sometimes the joints end up becoming TOO tight.. The material they use to make these is nothing but a DENSE vinyl .

[@LifewithBrock]

I’ll give that a go next time around.

[@JoeyBcollects]

Wow that was very easy

[@LifewithBrock]

It really is. It's just too bad it had to be done. Almost a 10/10 figure!
