>>6395729>Could dammage the plastic if not carefulWhere did this belief come from? As far as I know, clear nail polish typically doesn't damage plastic. However, when I first got into this DIY kind of repair, I had no idea what clear nail polish looked like (because I'mma dude) and when I asked the workers for clear nail polish, they universally gave me nail polish REMOVER, which I knew was basically acid for plastic.
Is that how the story got around because I've used all sorts of cheapo no name nail polish on a wide variety of toys over the years and they have never damaged the plastic.
>>6395146For the hips, you might want to take a clear piece of plastic, say from a candy wrapper or whatever's on hand, fold it around the ball joint and pop the legs on. Cellophane also works. A) they'll remain hidden and B) They can be easily replaced if necessary.
Alternatively, you can do the nail polish/floor polish thing.
For shoulders that pop out... I dunno, see what other anons say. If they pop out because of looseness, you just have to tighten them with the above methods. If it's due to shallowness, that's something that's plagued me as well.
>>6395210I prefer plastic as paper will degrade over time. Plastic degrades as well of course, but not quite as fast.
>>6395622>>6395729Glue's the riskiest option. If you're gonna use glue, use "weak" glue like UHU brand stuff, not super glues. Unfortunately, some super glues can utterly destroy some plastics.
