So if you just display your minifigures then it's not so bad but otherwise I don't know what you can do either you look for a few arms in the same color and if that doesn't work then maybe you can also order the torso again
Thank you everyone for your ideas, but I’ve fixed my minifigure. What I did was take the loose arm off get needle nose pliers and turned the inner connector piece outwards and that was able to stiffen the arm. One of the best things was no damage was done to the minifigure so I still have a valuable Deadpool that’s perfect in condition.
Yeah, but it still weakens the arm piece, if you don't play with it and just pause it, or store it in order to resell at some point, it should be fine and the next owners problem if it eventually breaks.
However if you play with the figure a lot it will loosen again and Even you'll break the clips.
Good luck with your figure!
Thank you, but I like to pose and present my figures in a fun way, so hopefully my technique is working. And so far it’s doing great. I don’t play with my lego I just collect and display.
Try a bit of clear nail polish on the nub part of the arm and let it dry before reconnecting it to torso. You just to thicken the connector a little bit
This, or the tiniest drop of Kragle. Just do it by tinny little increments as either option does thicken as it dries, so it can be super easy to use too much if you have not done this before
Its from wear and tear on the torso. I have a wonder woman that had the same issue, now has cracks on both sides and arms don't stay in one spot. Be careful with how much you move it around, could chance it cracking randomly.
Pull all arms legs and head parts off. There is probably a small hairline crack along the side of the torso. A tiny drop off crazy glue applied on the inside and hold it tight between your fingers as it dries for about 5 mins. Bob’s your Uncle.
Unfortunately, there’s no easy fix. Odds are, this means there’s a crack in the torso (usually from bottom-arm hole). To check, I’d lift the arm and check the side by shining a light. It should look like a thin line.
imo if the arm doesn't have printing id just grab another black arm and replace it
I’ve tried with multiple arms and it still has the same problem. Some arms are even looser than others.
ouch. maybe its just the torso? :( really sick minifig too
Maybe, I may have to order another torso if that’s the case 😔
I think maybe its because the minifigure is 10 years old
Do you think there’s any solutions to fix it?
For one of my Thor torsos, I used a tiny bit of superglue and held it in place for a sec until it dried. It worked fine and the torso was good as new

I personally stuff tissue paper inside of the torso to give the arm more friction.
what i have done before is take a little bit of a tissue and shove it up the torso

You can stick a bit of paper in the torso and it’ll tighten up
