I watched this video at 3am in a Jack in the Box parking lot.

This stuff is basically an acrylic-based floor polish, so any acrylic-base polish of any brand should work. An acrylic brush-on paint sealer like Decoart Duraclear will work too, perhaps better as it has less additives, but that's way more expensive. Super glue can work better, especially for the pop-apart ball joints that Transformers use, but it's riskier with joints you can't take apart.

Thanks for this! I've got several Marvel Legends figures that are extra floppy. Going to try this out soon.

I used this on some of my Star Wars Black series figures. A few of the joints required multiple doses, but it really, really worked! Thanks for this video.

Thank you for this guide. I love changing the poses of my figures, and I feel some of the joints loosening up, and I'm slowly getting afraid to touch them. Now I don't have to be.

Thank you a million my friend!! Finally i can fix my figures! Yay!

Looks like this is a good choice. When I was a kid and had braces I used to use the tiny rubber bands they give you and wrap them tight around joints, problem is depending on the joint it can stick out like a sore thumb! Great video!

The first two are named tommy hahaha

Dude you are a hero!

You take good care so much with your action figures without wasting money. Good job bro. ☺

I am glad I found this. I will try this out on my Gene doll's loose shoulder joint. Thank you.

Awesome dude. I build gundam models and some older version have a problem with loose joints. I'll definitely give this a try. Thanks!

Question instead of waiting the 24 hour cure time could a hair dryer be used on warm setting from a distance to help it dry faster slightly without heating it up too much in the process?

Who is here from Jobby?

Polyurathane is the stuff in floor polish that works. You can buy pints of it at hardware stores for $18-$20. They make a triple thick polyurathane which might work better with one use instead of having to do miltiple coats. Also heard of some called polycrylic. Has a mixture of acrylic and polyurathane. Im going to try the polycyrlic next.

Got my marvel legends Iron man Mark 43 right leg fixed and it looks good as new. Thank you so much. Subscribed.

Sounds great! That seemed to work excellent. Just as Sir Loaf said, two out of three ain't bad. I have heard Testors Gloss Cote, which is enamel clear coat for model cars and such, works too. I haven't tried either, but have a full pot of Gloss Cote, so I'll try that one first.

ill try this myself. will it work with 1/4 scale figures

Any suggestion on how to use this on loose ab crunch?

mixed with ink it also makes a nice wash for paint.

how long will this hold? and does it work with interchangeable hands? my MH rathalos hunter's wrists are very loose

Thank goodness for this information, I'll try to fix my Monsterarts King Ghidorah this way!

Imagine a kid saying "Daddy fixed my figures leg, he is legionary!!"

You’re vids are the best!!

Here because of Jobby.

Please keep making tutorials like this

1:37 Do we have to buy the same exacy thing?? I mean I'm from the other side of the world where Walmart and the brand "Pledge" don't exist.

I don't have any pledge, but I have an acrylic gloss coat that I am going to try on my sh figuarts green ranger. His right arm is loose.

I’m at Walmart looking for the floor stuff and realize now this video is 11 years old. What is used in 2024?

Interesting and helpful, great video bro:)

Thanks dude my action figure's knees are fixed :)

Now I need to tell my mom we have to go shopping:)

Do you by any chance know how to fix gummy joints? Marvel Legends really suffers from this syndrome unfortunately. The leg joints are usually super warped and kind of bendy. It’s incredibly annoying to collect figures like that, I’ve tried some remedies, but none are successful. I was hoping u had some trick up your sleeve, since this video did help me out a lot. Thanks anyways and keep up the great work;)

Thanks so much for this tutorial! really helpful.. Do you have an idea to prevent color fading at figure? I just bought Iron Man 45.. and I just heard, if this figure have color faded issue. For a long time the red color will change into pinky. I don't want it happen, how can I prevent it? I am new in this hobby. Your advice will be so helpful! Thanks!

awesome! great job my friend! i'm going to my comic book shop tomr and i was wonder in aliens hudson or hicks i know i'm getting the the xenomorph so witch one?

You could use some blue tack on the baby figures feet to make his feet stick to the surface he stands on.

Thanks! Just went to Walmart and got my supplies. I have to fix a brand new Star War Black Series 6” Mandalorian. It was super lose out of the box! It’s super rare so I am going to fix it apposed to returning it. Apparently they don’t make them like they used to.

I think the looseness of the hicks figure comes from the second ball joint in the calf, not the ankle ball joint. Nice video btw

I just got my Sergeant Craig Windrix NECA figure in the mail today, and like your Hicks my figures feet are loose, it disappoints me since I just opened it, I just wanted to know if this worked on your Hicks because both figures are fairly similar so the results would be the same. Nice video, thanks for posting.

i have a very loose spiderman action figure from 2003, it couldnt do anything, so i sticked him with tape on the wall posing like he is climbing.

Awsome video dude!- I just stumbled across it- and im glad I did:) huge collector here, so I definitely see my share of these issues. Very heartbreaking 4sure-lol. Ive got a four horsemen 7th kingdom elephant figure, that will be my 1st subject. Whenever I get the time to do it of corse-lol. Again- nice job- I hope I get the same results.

great vid, man. gonna use this on my Legends Bishop.

I should try this out, I've always used super glue on my figures

Nice this appears to work very well. On another note do you have any suggestions for how to make surfaces less slippery for figures? I have some Ikea Detolfs, but many figures keep falling over inside. The glass surface is just too slippery.

Ok thank you I just put it on :)

Try some teflon tape on ball joints, stiffens them up nicely.

Will other brands work if I'm in Singapore and there's no same brand available in Singapore?

Nice video, I’m gonna use it for my Samus Aran figure

Would mixing that pledge with *hardener* resin, would that make an epoxy?

This was really helpful.

Cool idea... But what can you do if the ball joint breaks completely?

is that an shfiguarts green ranger??? damn bruh you got some balls

Who here watching this for their WWE action figures

I dig it. Thanx

You may not be familiar with these figures but I have an elite wwe figure and the wrist joint is loose but not only that the side to side joint aka the joint that let's u turn the wrist 360. Would I use your technique u used for the tommy for my figure?

Can I use liquid for dishes? I just can`t use anything else and i can`t take off the figures arm.

I have a 2013 Datong super Saiyon vegeta and he has horribly loose joints such as ball joints Much similar to the green ranger. The loose joints are in the arms and legs. It is so bad that the limbs cannot be moved upward without them falling back to their resting place. Would you suggest I do this. Are there any risks? I just don't want to ruin the figure. Thanks for the video and I hope you see this.

Hello there. First of all thanks for sharing this! And is that a Hick's figure from Neca you have there? Would this method work on the Neca Series 1 Alien's figure and the Genocide figures? Some joints on those figures are quite loose especially the knee part.

hey man remember me? lol well um just before doing it i was wondering if this would also work on a basic ab crunch joint. thanks bro :)

I might use this technique on my Marvel Legends AOU Captain America. His left knee joint is extremely loose

What about Clear Nail polish ? Heard it works as medium between super glue and flexible liquid ...

Usually when my joints feel loose I sit in the tub with some epsom salt👍🏿. I just want to know if using future has any residual repercussions to the time line 😂

Nice video, but how it works? i mean what is the real efect of the polish over the plastic? thanks!

11 days after this was when I reviewed a 10 year old ben tennyson figure a kevin 11 figure a ben 10 alien force alan heatblast figure a ben 10 omniverse four arms figure a ben 10 omniverse Khyber figure a ben 10 classic wildmutt figure and the fucking green goblin daniel figure which wasn't fucking broken then but it is now

Does the brand of the floor polisher ACTUALLY matter? I'm sure all brands of the same TYPE of product have the same general ingredients in them and do the same job for it's intended purpose. So a different brand of floor polisher should work the same on action figures as this right? Just asking because my local supermarket doesn't have this exact bottle and every video like this says you HAVE to use this one.

Does this method work on WWE and Marvel Legend figures?

Useful VDO, thanks

Hi. Excuse me, I had a question. What is this liquid and what is it used for? This liquid does not exist with this brand in my country. If you can help me and tell me what this liquid is, I would be very grateful.🙏

is it water proof?

How long does the floor care last before you have to reapply it?

I collect any type of action figure , but they have to be 3.75 inches mainly Gi joes and lanards!

Does this work on wwe figures?

Hey don't you recommend to use transparent nail polish instead of floor polish ?

I have a Dead Space 2 Isaac Clarke figure that I have and his right arm is a bit loose. Hope this works.

Since we don't have that product in this country, my wife suggested I use nail polish. Might just work...

With NECA joints being so notoriously brittle I almost don’t want to risk trying this with my Xenomorph

Would this work on hot toys? I got a sixth scale sandtrooper with a very loose ankle joint that always causes him to fall and tip over, awesome vid btw

I'm ten and I have 386 action figures! (I'm still collecting ):) love action figures also I just counted them if ur wondering

Hello,i have a 10 inch Deadpool and his right leg is loose a little bit.I want to ask if i have to use the same floorcare liquid in the video or i can use different floorcare or nail polish like Mr.Tello had mentioned?

I SAY HELLO ME HOW COULD THAT PRODUCT IS WELL . AS it IS THAT Lalama , IF NOT THE MARK IN IF THE PRODUCT AS SUCH. THINK is a resin ? I LIVE IN BOGOTA COLOMBIA AND REALLY NEED IT . YOUR VIDEO IS EXCELLENT THANKS

Cool video! but i have a marvel legends spiderman the legs are crazy loose! it wont stand and a marvel legends punisher the arm is very loose. will this work on them?

Whered you get the green. Ranger? Ive never seen that kind of artuculation on smaller scale rangers? I definitely want one

Is there any drawback to this method in the long term? Years later, does the polish discolor? Does it cake up and turn cloudy? Does it shed powder? Don't want to devalue my figures when teflon tape is another option. However I like this better and want to do it if there isn't any long term damage.

Great video man! One question, do you know if this trick will work on the Mafex Batman pop off shoulders? Have you done something to fix that guy? Thanks in advance wes!

does it stay tight for a long time or does it wear off? also is there a smaller alternative to the floor care you have?

Oh my god thank you so much

good trick

I have a bootleg figma hatsune miku and i wonder if this would work on smooth plastic and does it specifically need pledge as its brand?

My nightmare Foxy's left arm is very loose for some reason, and I hope this will work for his arm.

While doing this process some of the floor polish got on other parts of the figure and I rubbed it off but it's still sticky, any tips for getting the sticky stuff off?

will this work on Hot Toys Chrome figures? say like Terminator? without damaging the chrome paint?

Do you think a brush would work also? Like a tiny paintbrush?

This is great. Thank you!

my alien (35th anniversary) figure's foot broke when i tried pulling it. looks like the ball joint was in pretty tight. had to use superglue (sacrificing the articulation) to fix it... on the other hand, i used nail polish on the knees, and worked out pretty well.

Awesome video dude i subscribed!! one question if i might hehe...i just got a Gokaiblue and the same leg is loose but i think its the up-dow articulation not the balll joint...will this or nail polish work?? Thanks in advance!

I need help! I have a Spiderman action figure from the second movie ( the one with Tobey Maguire ) And he is loose from the Ab crunch joint. There is no way I can reach the ab crunch joint, not even with a toothpick! This joint is SOOO loose, HE CANT EVEN STAND UP!! So I need to know a way so his ab crunch joi t will be tighter

I have the old super pose able spiderman 2 figure, and it's way too loose on the toe, and foot joints, so I am wondering if floor cleaner will discolor the red plastic on the figure, if anyone can answer, I'd appreciate it, thanks!

Will this work with wood Floor polish? Or nail polish is more useful?

Does this work for Accessories too? I have a bootleg Mirage Raphael and his sais keep falling off, if I used this on the sais would he be able to hold them without struggle?

isn't it ironic that they stopped making the future
