I've had this happen on some of my figs that have never had their arms
removed, including Flatfoot Thompson and a '96 coast guard fig. It makes their
arms very loose, and I hate this cause sometimes they just come out when
you're moving them.
Also, the pins on the waist pieces break pretty easily too. Once when I was
taking a leg off it broke off, pin and all. I tried gluing it, but it only
stayed a few days. Has anyone had this happen as well? Is there a special kind
of glue that will hold the leg on?
