I recently got a toy from NECA but the problem is that the hand keeps coming off.
The joint is not broken or anything, the hole in the hand is just too big and it won't stay. So the hand always ends up falling off the arm.

Is there something I can do about this? some way I can fix the hand to stay without having the glue the hand in place? does anyone know what works best to make the hand stay?
thanks

try wrapping a little tape around the peg that goes into the hole in the arm to build up the thickness of the peg....(i use masking tape)...this makes the fit a little tighter
 
One thing we used to do for transformers' loose joints was to apply clear nail polish (multiple layers depending on looseness)

It thickens up the peg, and the slight tackiness of the surface increases grip.

Its totally "invisible" as its a clear layer, and can be easily undone with nail polish remover.
 
Thank you guys. I might try the tape first, but the nailpolish idea sounds good
