    Nail polish (move loose area around so the polish can spread) + 48 hour freezer time= stiff articulation

    Bit the bullet and ordered this guy cause he was cheap enough on eBay. I've set my expectations pretty low so hopefully he's alright. He'll mostly be a display piece along with the other MPMs. Still excited to add him to my collection.

    Thank you! He really does look great with the dotm guns. Fair warning though: they don't stay super well in his hands. If they were official products they'd probably have some sort of hand peg or something to make them stay but alas the handles are just rectangular bars. I'm still very glad I got them though!

    He looks great with the guns and the added paint detail. The guns also look great with the paint. I'm trying not to be jealous.

    For those of you who are a little handy, and want to improve your figure with a little work, I found an excellent way to tight up those shoulder joints.

    I used Future at first, and it worked great, but wore off recently. I wanted something more permanent and solid, so I tackled the rivets on the little swing arms (the cause for the looseness.)

    If you want to try this yourself, first manipulate everything until you have good access to this joint arm. Then find something to set on top of the rivet. I found a screw with a flat head and short shaft.

    Fit your pliers in there, and give them a good, slow,but deliberate squeeze. I actually could see and feel the rivet press down in further.

    I did this on both rivets on each shoulder assembly, and mine are now very tight. Almost too tight, but that's ok. They will now hold a pose solidly, and do not move at all when I move the arms in any direction.

    This is an excellent idea. Do you think this is also just a temporary fix? Could the rivets naturally back themselves out?

    Don't worry everyone, I'm finally caving and buying this, so an improved KO will surely be announced in a week or two.
