Hey guys! I just got a used Revoltech Stormtrooper off eBay. I dig the crap out of it, but the joint on the right shoulder and the neck are super loose (the swivle part, not the peg). Basicay his head and arm just flop around making posing impossible. Any fixes?

I'm about 99.98% certain you got sold a bootleg. Complain to Paypal.

Even so. Is there anyway to tighten these joints?

how can you tell with Revo?
>>
>>5554813
Not sure if legitimate question from retard or shitty low-quality bait...

Revoltech joints are some of the toughest out there, it's EXTREMELY unlikely they'd come with the ratchets broken out of the package. Plus in OP's pics the casting quality of the hands and the paint apps in general are off from the official product.

The Revoltech Stormtroopers are pretty good figures for their price and even manage to outdo the competition in certain areas relating to screen accuracy.

You can always find revo joints online to replace the ones you have.

>and even manage to outdo the competition in certain areas relating to screen accuracy.

Ahahahahahaha I'm sorry I was taking you seriously until that last bit.

Good one.

>Helmet - screen accurate
>Forearm guards - screen accurate
>Stomach greebles - screen accurate
>Belt - screen accurate

I'm sorry, you were saying?
>>
>>5554813
Easiest way you can tell is by the box.

Real revos have that smooth premium feeling box, fake ones have nasty glossy shit which is often badly printed.
>>
>>5555015
Too bad all of that is on a body so out of porportion that it negates everything else. None of that matters when the completed figure looks like an anime faggot.
>>
>>5555041
Except it doesn't negate everything else at all. Stormtroopers came in many sizes and shapes, having a tall lanklet filling out the mix of SHFs, Bandai model kits, Mafex, Black Series, etc most collectors have accumulated isn't a bad thing.

It's especially important if you want to try and kitbash the 'perfect' 6" Stormtrooper though. The Revo helmet is second only to the Bandai model kit's in terms of proportion and accuracy.
>>
>>5555049
>clones
>all shapes and sizes
>>
>>5555057
Most of the original clone Stormtroopers were destroyed when the Death Star blew up in episode IV. The Revoltech is based on episode V, so there's no reason it couldn't be some lanky dude they hired for the imperial army.
>>
>>5555057
Stormtroopers aren't clones you deleterious retard.
>>
>>5555049
Except that it's pretty much impossible for a human being to look like that. Not saying Revoltechs a bad fogure. It's just stylized. Saying it's the most screen accurate is just shilling as hard as you fucking can though.

>>5555063
>Most of the original clone Stormtroopers

Opinion instantly invalidated.
>>
>>5555116
>getting this fanny flustered over star wars canon

Fuck off nerd
>>
>>5555116
Not to mention there are no super lanky Stormtroopers that appear in the movies. So in terms of "screen accuracy" that doesn't count.
>>
>>5555119
>thinks that knowing Stormtroopers arent Clones is something only nerds would know about.

Oh, you're a moron I see.

>Fuck off nerd

Yup, definitely retarded. So retarded you don't even know what board you're on.
>>
>very first Star Wars movie ever
>Stormtrooper bumps his head on the doorway while the other two pass under it
>is visibly taller than the others
>"THEYRE CLONES THEYRE CLONES"

Literally they most retarded argument anyone can make.

OP here. I managed to pull the neck and arm joint apart. Slosh some super glue in there, and slowly move it as it dried. Works great. I'm think of just doing it for all the joints

This is probably a bootleg, but based of what I've seen online it's a damn good one, and I didn't pay much so yay me! If my super glue fix totally bombs I'll order to real revo joints ( I think there's actually a few on him).

And I dig the slim style. I don't know if I'd call it anime, but it's definitely stylized (which I think is better for posing).

Butt how do I use this? Does it just work like a tripod or am I missing a stand?
>>
>>5555169
You are missing the base.
did it come with the revoltech coin?, I'm curious about how about the bootleg one look.
>>
>>5555169
It's shit, chuck it back in the box and use a figma stand or tamashii stage instead.

>>5555215
That's all they give you, there is no base.
It's supposed to act as a third leg for supporting balance.
My Stormtrooper and Boba Fett both came with those, no actual base. Bought them from AmiAmi when they were first released too so I know they're not bootleg.

My mk1 Iron Man similarly came with a V-shaped base with peg holes that he can't actually use, and no arm attachment so it's basically useless. Revoltech are shit at providing usable display stands.

Yeah I've just been using the V base that came with my Megatron.

It's been a few years since I've bought a Revoltech, the last being Megatron. I know the articulation is a lot nicer on the new figures but WOW, when did these fuckers become so expensive. I paid like, 20 bucks for my Megatron and Black Ox.
