Honest Review I just placed my action figure under normal tap water and just tried to move the hard sticky joint for a minute Then I dried it with my towel and was good to go!🤗I'm surprised at least I now know the solution to this problem Thanks man Keep it up👍

[@wadewilson4928]

I bought this figure last week its amazing, but it has the exact same problem in the shoulders, thanks for the help man!!

[@legomaniac101scarandfilthy9]

Can you make a tutorial on how to fix really loose joints?

[@myusername3689]

LegoManiac101/ScarAndFilThyFrankFTW4KidsFTL Answer: rubber bands

[@qbcreamer4442]

Definitely not a clone of Joseph Stalin My Marvel legends Monster Venoms arm keeps on popping off when I raise it. The right arm is perfect and stiff so it keeps poses. The other one is loose af at the shoulder and pops out. Any advice?

[@kevproduction8003]

Can't wait for the reviews!😁 This felt like a prequel to your reviews haha

[@WylunCustoms]

haha, ya. its like a trailer, get ready for the real things!

[@dylan.mp3869]

Do you HAVE to boil it first? The elbow joints on my Deadpool are quite soft, and I'm wondering if sticking it in cold water will do the trick.

[@quadrant7493]

Nice headless daredevil in the backround 😂

[@WylunCustoms]

lol, good eye!

[@jbcanay1343]

got a star wars black series that has a wonky knee joint, will the boiling water method work for that one to tighten it up?

[@Project422Films]

Thanks for this, man! Really helpful! Could you do a separate video about tightening joints? I have a really loose right shoulder on my Black Panther rotating it up and down, but it's fine when it bends in and out. I also have a loose right upper leg on my Giant-Man BAF, so a tutorial on that will really help. Thanks again!

[@firstnamelastname9793]

I’ve got a Marvels legend pizza Spider-Man figure and it’s joint is getting super loose. Will this method work for my figure?

[@DipperGames420]

So, what do I do if there's paint stuck in the joint? My NECA TF2 Soldier's knee almost broke from me heating it up so I could pose it and I just got my RED Heavy in and he's not budging in several areas (actually came with one knee bent at an angle with the foot put on entirely sideways). Does it work like this or am I doing something wrong? Don't want to break Heavy because I paid $80 for him and a replacement would be looking at $130+.

[@nin_jo5662]

Awesome video! I also had the same idea of warping the pinky and super glueing it. Is it still in tact?

[@GJLCreativeStudios]

Great video. Helpful for a lot of people. I was thinking maybe a bowl of ice water would be less wasteful

[@kevproduction8003]

I love this video!!! Awesome advice! I always enjoy what you say and what you do with your modifications and customs!!! Great job and keep up the great work From your biggest fan haha!

[@WylunCustoms]

thanks man! glad you enjoy my videos!

[@mrrictus]

1:58 "Squeezing it" 2:03 "while it's hot and soft " That's what she said LOL

[@WylunCustoms]

lol, and it strikes again!

[@bloodyredbaron85]

LMAOF

[@thebaldbros168]

Can this work on a sonic

[@oddfuturestudios9766]

I have multiple figures with the exact same ratchet issue as the deadpool. I's do this, but I don't think I could safely remove the arms from the shoulders. Any good alternative for the ratchet issue?

[@phw340]

Thanks for the video! Will the boiling work for ankles? I got a Star Lord and his ankles don't flex. Will boiling work or should I take an xacto knife and stick it between the ankle and the joint? Thanks!

[@4390BigBoss]

Can you straighten the figure out with just the hair dryer without running them under cold water afterwards? Does heating the plastic up with a hair dryer cause any long term damage to the plastic?

[@redreploid1713]

I don’t want to put my figure in the hot water, I’m afraid of damaging it. Is it ok if I leave him inside a plastic bag?

[@jeffreymorales5207]

My Marvel Legends Spider-Man Homecoming Tech Suit figure is having a sticky/stuck bicep swivel joint. Those arms are small compared to Deadpool's. Is that method gonna work on small arms?

[@Vintage-Bob]

Ok, what would be the next method when this method doesn't work? I've tried it on the White Queen and Black Queen from the Hellfire Club box set, and it's not working. Even after doing this, the knee joint area is as soft as bubble gum. I can't get the knees to harden into shape no matter how well I try this. I've even dipped it in boiling water, then held it in proper shape with an ice pack until it was practically frozen. Nope. They still start to bend and warp under their own weight in a matter of hours.

[@MatuxLogan]

Hi! I got the belt of my figure broken (almost separate) how can I fix it? what kind of glue should I use or what should I do? Thanks!

[@skabcat242]

It sucks we have to do this now with most action figures. However it helps a lot of warm up those joints.

[@WylunCustoms]

ya, it does suck! but atleast its good to be prepared and know what to do!, its actually very satisfying when u fix it lol.

[@webhead_bryon144]

Wylun how would you tighten a butterfly joint (armpit) joint on marvel legends spiderman figure

[@pierre-luccolombani1836]

Hello ive got a problem with a nick fury left harm, any help??

[@th3blackghost214]

Wyluncustoms your method helped a lot thanks man

[@leaveit25]

If I have a tight joint on the arm rotating down can I just put it in boiling water?

[@Rafaelnacua]

Bro will this method work on my big time ket down spiderman? Hes leg is a bit loose tho im scared to do this

[@mikkolorenzo8255]

Any suggestion on juggernaut's shoulder joint? I tried this but the parts is really thick

[@DragmaKerp]

Quick question, why you didn't interchange Deadpool's right hand with other figure? Maybe the previous one? Anyway good tutorial

[@WylunCustoms]

ya i was thinking about that, but i'd have to find a extra hand. which wasnt a problem.. but then i had to repaint it, which would lead to a further step.. and for the sake of the video.. i thought i was just appropriate to show that it can be done this certain way. lol. thanks for watching!

[@DragmaKerp]

I see, well, fair enough, I will check on mine when I can manage to get one :D

[@jaredgarcia8638]

can you do one with the arm completely broken off?

[@jitchashivang9559]

How hot does the water have to be? Tell me please.

[@IvanFreelancer]

Can you use this trick also for warped weapons? I have Toybiz Punisher's rifle warped on the muzzle part...

[@darktheanimator672]

Yes it works I just tried it

[@sacequeensny5311]

Hey Wyluncustoms great video bro but can you please do a video on fixing loose Joints and sockets. And a how to paint / Customize figures video.

[@WylunCustoms]

try to look back and some of my videos where i fix joints, you can get some ideas from those basics. if you have loose sockets, WHAT I WOULD DO, is pop the joint out and apply some super glue in there. NOT ALOT, just alittle, put the ball joint back in and rotate the ball joint until the glue dries. it will create a new layer in there. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT to keep rotating until the glue completely dries. its a risky thing to do but it definitely works 100% of the time for me. i suggest you do a test run on a figure you do not care about. and when i say rotate until dries, dont do it for like 1 minute,.. do it for a constant 5-8mins straight. you might stop thinking its dry and find out it isnt and it gets glued down. and you'd have to apply pressure to snap that glue

[@sacequeensny5311]

Thanks buddy

[@xLu7VaTiiCx]

WylunCustoms Theres a clear floor cleaner that works great and theres no risk of it hardening the way super glue does. I forget the name but It works perfect. Had to do it on a couple of my figures

[@kuldipbinning1989]

I did the hot water treatment on the Nick Fury knee joints a few days ago much better now. I saw someone had used the hot water too many times and he said the colour had been washed out. Can you use something like WD40 to loosen joints or would the oil in it mess things up. I am going to leave the pinky as is I like how it is different.

[@WylunCustoms]

hey there! great to hear! I honestly have had no problem so far ever, ever ever, with paint rubbing off.. are they scrubbing too? how long are they actually leaving in the water also.. that can be big factor. i've used WD40 b4 on just the joints, and not on paint itself.. so, so far soo good.. but i can see if u put WD40 on paint and rub it in, it can take off paint. leave the pinky! i can see why ppl like it lol.

[@NinAmuro57]

Ive got a Taskmaster with a very tight, almost impossible to move right elbow and a Deadpool with a loose left bicep... hope thisll help :)

[@alexryan2926]

Thanks dude helped me with my avengers infinity war spiderman

[@alexanderherrera1806]

[@tylerteamer4586]

[@TheJumpMan98]

Worked like a charm. Thank you!

[@WylunCustoms]

great no problem!

[@eddycxno]

will this work for marvel select toys?

[@riseofloganxlogan4230]

the question is pinky in or pinky out?

[@wasaymunawar604]

Can I do it on my Sh figurats Cause my Trunks left hands joint is really tight

[@EricExistentialism]

Wasay Munawar water may not be good for sh figuarts only because they have metal in some of their joints and that could rust them

[@RaulMarin-vg3bu]

Okay so I bought the Marvel Legends Marvel Knights wave Daredevil and the calf of the leg / second joint on the knee is really really loose, help please? 😂

[@jeycobhernandez1807]

Raul.Marin i believe nail polish works

[@drakozero8]

Man this this techniech will work for that SDCC Odinsons shoulders?? cause they are OMEGA tight!

[@WylunCustoms]

it should! if you want take a blow dryer to the shoulders and try to rotate them alittle when its softer

[@NgChris389]

Great vidz ! looking forward for your reviews !

[@WylunCustoms]

[@mercentin1499]

[@michaelzero582]

Great video :) not much help for me as I remember the BW tutorial but I still enjoyed it and it's great for new comers :) hey man just wondering ever thought about doing more vlogs or something? I know you have unboxings but like a QnA? Idk just wanted to ask. Thanks for the vid bro!

[@WylunCustoms]

hey there! thanks! i hoped you liked the BW video! ya, this one is very similar to that one, but its also nice to see a new one b/c ppl like to see it visually, and might have not seen the black widow one. I want to get into more vlogs, maybe do QnA's, but i dont kno how much i can really talk lol. thats why im just starting out for now with Unboxing videos and i just go on rants/tangents as i do it... for now, but something i will consider in the future! thanks for the suggestions!

[@44thstudios]

Lifesaver

[@WylunCustoms]

[@octaviodel4501]

[@WylunCustoms]

[@Phoeniixx]

[@ryanhague9025]

Thanks this helped a lot!!

[@TheLegendOfPsychopath]

Thank you you helped me out a lot

[@TheLegendOfPsychopath]

WylunCustoms hey do you think you can help me out my Spider-Mans butterfly joint broke how can I repair this

[@jlotti009]

Thank you !!!!!!

[@battleframestudios8989]

Every single action I get has a stiff boot rotation.

[@kingbeast1998]

Thank you !

[@TheLupinator]

THANK YOU

[@HalfNHalf02]

soooo how do you do the opposite

[@WylunCustoms]

tightening joints and bending them? lol. if you want to tighten, use glue and rotate as it dries so it doesnt stay in one place. by doing this, it will create the space needed inbetween to bring the joints together and fill up any gaps making it loose.

[@SpideyStudios22]

An arm on my marvel legends DeadPool bent, and it broke.

[@marcojimenez4909]

11:56 that's what she said

[@WylunCustoms]

haha, yup,.. stick that thing in.... should of saw that coming... ;-)

[@davidbramlett6805]

is that and stores

[@WylunCustoms]

not that i know of yet! but if you go to a local comic book story, you might get lucky!

[@fcbfreviews]

I broke my deadpool bicep butterfly joint

[@OneofCanadian34]

I really don't understand why you would fix the hand on the deadpool as it is completely fine and also because you glued that pinky in it doesn't give much personality to deadpool anymore as we all know deadpool as the merc with a mouth and the funster

[@it_punkkid7298]

I broke my wolverine arm so I had buy another one

[@nasty9328]

when u wet him he had a Matt color scheme

[@TheRealianizeR]

Damn you're huge. Do you do workout videos? You should

[@WylunCustoms]

haha thanks!, i try my best. I dont do any work out vids.. maybe i should start?

[@TheRealianizeR]

Yes! Lol

[@miminikto8940]

I don't like that hasbro had the pinky out on the hand

[@WylunCustoms]

lol same here, .. thats why i fixed it!.. but i definitely see the humor in it! however, its only fun/funny for a couple of moments for me.. overall, i would like it to be closed, for the long run.

[@miminikto8940]

Yeah agree

[@darktheanimator672]

Poor deadpool LOL

[@WylunCustoms]

lol hes good now!

[@nasty9328]

make a how to make the marvel legends wolverine bigger lol

[@l1m0b0at3]

my black panther waist swivel doest swivel lol

[@WylunCustoms]

haha, try to heat up that area with a hair drier and then twist... but most likely heating it up wont make a difference b/c its hard plastic on hard plastic.. it could just be stuck due to glue/paint and will just need some force.

[@Smasher-bq1uk]

guys just dont do that with your mcu taskmaster....alot of paint is just gone....-_-

[@Terrocity1]

To bad you don't live in SoCal just put your figure outside for like 5 minutes he'll loosen up fast lol.

[@darell8310]

Not even California is not hot you have dry heat where I live its humid I would prefer dry

[@WylunCustoms]

haha, ya i heard its pretty hot there now? i've seen funny memes online with like.. "stepping outside in soCal".. and its the picture from Terminator 2 where sarah conner is having her dream and her body burns at the fence, lol.

[@EUSL84]

Of course, you wouldn’t be happy if you didn’t show your weird arm muscles.

[@trystonkleinschmidt5597]

Not so hot water your gonna have a melted figure

[@WylunCustoms]

well not too hot lol. I honestly have never once in my 10+ yrs have never melted a figure due to hot water. I actually melted a figure using a heat gun.

[@darell8310]

Just use a hair dryer

[@WylunCustoms]

lol, as i shown in the 2nd part of the video.. but i just wanted to show for the sake of it, two different options

[@mafer7100]

regaleme una

[@ArtificialIntelligenceMuseum]

dude.. wtf... CLOSE THE TAP when ur not using the damn water... what a waste. My god, man..

[@doctormorbius]

Fett Nerd chill

[@alh1133]

To fabricate and to buy better figures solve all this nonsense in 0 seconds. The regular Marvel Legends figure is the greatest scam in all the history of articulated figures.

[@Delta21OnYT]

I'd rather pay $20-30 for a decent action figure to a $150-180 for a very fragile, high quality figure

[@um-vl6on]

would those technique damage the paint if there is some paint job int the warped area?

[@WylunCustoms]

in theory i can see people thinking that, and it might be true, however I've been doing this for all my figures from hasbro ML figures.. everyone you see in my videos, and i've never had a problem. unless you're literally boiling it for like 30 mins or something, a couple mins in the water wont do anything.

[@um-vl6on]

WylunCustoms thanks. I'll try it

[@alexanderherrera1806]

did u get deadpool at store or in amazon etc

[@Spider-Bread]

how did you get the deadpool

[@WylunCustoms]

Big bad toy store

[@Spider-Bread]

+WylunCustoms thanks
