Is there a fix for Gen Rhinox's legs?

I just got him today and his legs are so friggin' loose that he can't even hold his own weight! I have to have him leaning against something to have him stand up straight.

It seems it's both his knees and his hips that are equally loose. And his hips are loose in both directions! Forward/backward and laterally.


I've already been told about folding the crotch piece all the way up an in and that did help his stability a little, but his joints are still as loose as a $5 hooker!


Any help would be great.

just clear nail polish in the backside of his knees.
more involved would be to knock out the knee pins and coat both the sides of the brown joint and the insides of the green section,i'm just iffy on knocking out those pins as the green has swirly metallics which tells me not to do the pin knocking as it may shatter the green area.

with the leg in a normal bot mode standing position,gob a bit onto the very backside of the knee ,right where the brown/tan piece is inside of the green,taking care to try to get some in the two gaps left and right sides where the brown meets up with the green.

I was finally able to track down some Future floor polish, so I'm going to try and work some of it into the joint.

I've just read a horror story about someone trying to knock out the pins and accidentally snapping off one of the legs!
