Floppy Ankles - Hasbro MP Prime (original) and Hasbro MP Thundercracker
 

Whilst re-organizing my 'bots, I have found that the ankles on my MP Optimus (original Hasbro) and MP Thundercracker (original Hasbro) are (now) floppy -- causing these guys (in bot mode) to fall forward rather easily.

Has anyone else encountered this issue? I would like some good suggestions as to how I can improve the joints so that they won't fall over so easily?

Thanks in advance...

clear nail polish?

What kind of joints are they? The first thing that pops to m8nd is the Pledge floor polish fix. That usually works like a charm

You mean they're floppy now, but weren't before? Just from standing in a pose on a shelf? If that's the case, that's not good for anybody. I'd go with the Pledge route.

I have mine out for years, and the feet are solid, but the arms a bit less so. Hmm.
