I bought some of this a few years ago - handy stuff! (it's basically a thin PVA glue). It's better than varnish or superglue as it is easily removed without any residue/damage.
@@factcheck8113 I think the solution is specially made and is a bit different to PVA glue, I personally would recommend the Kiki, the thin applicator is perfect as well. it dries clear and can be rubbed off cleanly. GO for it! 😁
The way I've always dealt with loose joints is I will tear them apart over a piece of paper and then pack it into a pipe- OH. Wait. Yeah. Good... action figure repair method. I use a bit of nail varnish on my figures, and especially on things like these Kotobakyuaiguyaiai Hexa Gear governors.
Hahaha in the absence of a pipe, I just tear over another skin and reroll! Nail varnish is a great solution, especially with how difficult this can be to find
@@SkellywagsTV and you know you had too much good stuff when you sit at the table for thirty minutes trying to figure out which one of your action figures can drive you to the store
Ah - I forgot about this weak wrist joint for my captain (I pose him with the shield in front of him, and the hand on top of it). Now I only need to find Kiki on the black market ... :D Thanks for sharing!
Haha yeah this seems to be elusive for most. On ebay try 'kiki fix loose joints'. Even when buyinh from ebay, it did feel like I was acquiring something from the black market
Just found your video ive been struggling with some seriously loose figures and have used glue in the past but i feel likenwith one its notnan option. Ive got a gundam universe tallgeese and the torso ball joint is so loose itnall but flops around. I just ordered a bottle and im looking foward to using this.
Speaking of Gundam, I would use either a matte or gloss spray or solution. Works a treat on model kits. For figures, Kiki is probably more appropriate though
Awesome. cant find that stuff except in asia when ive looked. I usually use super glue even though that can be an accident waiting to happen. Thanks for the video buddy!!
I would say you should make more custom figures, because I plan to make one of my own, well because I love the black templars and I wanna make a custom marine of my own

I use my girlfriends finger, nail hardening gel. But I think I’m gonna use this instead. Thanks for the tips and tricks and make sure you get some rest.😴💀
How would you recommend straightening out bent plastic on an action figure? i saw that you reviewed the guilliman figure and for mine a couple of the feathers on the backpack are bent. im leaning towards using hot water to put them back in place but depending on whatever i read it seems like people will recommend one thing over another. im kind of afraid of ruining it because its so expensive, so im wondering what your opinion is?
I would use hairdryer where possible. I only really use hot water on smaller things that I can dip into a bowl. Let it cool down after heating. Normally the heat will just restore the plastic to factory settings. If not, you can bend it slightly

Yeah, I agree. I prefer this over the other solutions for joints
Should I just buy pva glue instead of kiki?
Will pva glue works the same result as kiki?

I agree with Dan. Kiki is cleaner when dry. Works really nicely. I'd use a varnish over PVA glue though

The Kiki spokeperson strikes again ! I just wish Kiki was easier to find, because I need it as well of course
Lol I wish! Then they could send me more! Try typing in 'kiki loose joints' on ebay
I currently have 2 of this lol I use Kiki and Varnish depending on the situation
Love this stuff! Lasted me quite a while as well. I do have different varnishes i could use as back up too!
i dont youtube unsubbed from this channel. but great vid will be useful for me in the future
Thanks for checking out the vid! UA-cam does some strange things sometimes

Oohh yeah I get a bit worried when using super glue for joints. Still does the job. Try on the US ebay 'kiki fix loose joints' that did the job for me
@@SkellywagsTV will do
Nice good to know about this stuff
Handy stuff, but varnish and super glue should do the trick too!
I would say you should make more custom figures, because I plan to make one of my own, well because I love the black templars and I wanna make a custom marine of my own
Yeah, I've been meaning to get back into doing more customs

That sounds like a good solution too! This stuff is great if you can find it. Rest? Oh how I miss it! It's just a distant memory now...

Haha nice! I knew it was somewhere in Asia. Great stuff!
