As someone that's recently gone down the Mafex rabbit hole, Thank you! Now I don't have to worry about pin/joint breakages after being extorted by scalpers lol.
Just came back to this video to say thank you for this and for your honesty. Went ahead and got your silicone oil a few weeks back and it worked wonders!
I think by tight the guy means hard to move, where you have to put a bit of force into moving each joint. That is a big problem if you are trying to make a stop motion animation with them.
Is this good for custom figures with tight joints , would it ruin the paint ,,(using model masters paints and airbrushing) an assistance is appreciated a ty fro the review 🙂
Maybe it's just me, but I miss the old days when figure joints weren't overly tight or overly loose. Seriously, I've been trying to swap hands on my PR Lightning Collection figures, but I can't seem to remove them. And with all the QC issues many PR fans have reported, I don't wanna risk breaking my figures when posing them.
Got the new Marvel Legends Infinity Saga Iron Man MK III and his arm/shoulder rotation joint was totally frozen. Was afraid I'd shear it off. Heating it would loosen it up, but only until it cooled then seized up again. Heated it and added some of the 100% silicone lube and it's not frozen up again, even after cooling. Thank you for this.
ah rip could it not move forward? i think thats the same issue i have with my infinity saga mk 21 ive heated it up it moves a little bit but not really and when it cools down its just stuck. i dont wanna break him so ill try this
Ha! I had the same issue with my bootleg Mafex Spider-Man (no way I'm buying official releases from them anymore), but I used dish soap to fix Spidey's legs and biceps.
I have a Legacy Transformer called Leadfoot. His joints are soo tight I almost broke him transforming him for the first time. I already have some bb gun oil that has silicone in it. I'm going to try that.
Hey Dstar do you think you could fix my mezco punisher I recently got him and the right arm wont swivel at all in the biceps and I haven’t really been able to enjoy it since
Hi. Excuse me, I had a question. What is this liquid and what is it used for? This liquid does not exist with this brand in my country. If you can help me and tell me what this liquid is, I would be very grateful.🙏
Hey just got silicone oil and its working on my figures, just want to know how long it will last on the figure until or if it will revert back to being tight and squeaky
Question: can you use this on Figures hands because I have a Goku and a broly with really Tight hands that I can’t even get it to come off and when I do, I can’t get it back on.
Depends on the glue. Did someone put super glue in it? Or was it like that straight from the box? If straight from the box hot water will loosen most glues, but super glue is tough to remove.
Dstar01 it might be glued or cement that got into the joint as it was being customized. I’m trying to see if I can source just the joint without having to buy a doner figure
During the video you were talking about RC shock oil being an alternative. Is there a specific brand and/or type that you recommend? You also briefly mentioned density. Is the recommended density number still 100?
I’m not to sure if this work but maybe you could get like a twist tie from sliced bread, and take off the paper and heat up the metal part. Then use the heated up metal stick and poke it into the broken peg and let it cool down and pull it out. Maybe look up a video of how to do it to see if the method actually works

does it really? im thinking about buying a bottle for my ginyu which the arm is so tight i can barely move it. plus how long did it take to come
This video is so entertaining, it inspires me to produce videos on my channel.
I love it when the joints are nice and tight. The reason i love tight joints is because they're strong enough to hold poses.
Yes, but you run the risk of stressing the joint out and it breaks.
Ye but not when it makes a loud squeaking noise every time you move it

Used this on a Mafex Homecoming Spidey KO and it was like magic. The squeaks were gone and the joints move like butter!
Bought mine as soon as I saw the vid. Thanks hopefully get all my figures fixed tight joints 🙏🏼

You could use literally any non petroleum based silicon/oil and will be safe and work just the same ;)

When i saw this video i was amazed totally im so amazed
i used to use sewing machine oil will that ruin the paint ?
If you check the label and it has petroleum distillate then it can ruin paint.
Does it work for stuck joints?
This helps a lot thanks for the video.
would it work with olive or coconut oil? im having a hard time with the imagination works luffy's waist ball joint, that thing is stupidly tight
How will you know if your figures have tight joints because my dragon stars gogeta is really hard to move
Yo dstar will baby oil work?
Is there a way to fix a frozen joint? I have a custom Base Form Android 21 but one of the ankle joints got glue in it.
You can try super glue debonder. But most of the time it does not work
Dstar01 that sounds so assuring. Lol.
Depends on the glue. Did someone put super glue in it? Or was it like that straight from the box? If straight from the box hot water will loosen most glues, but super glue is tough to remove.
Dstar01 it might be glued or cement that got into the joint as it was being customized. I’m trying to see if I can source just the joint without having to buy a doner figure
u can also use nail polish for loose joints
Hey i was wondering if you fixed missing accessorys
Dude can I put this oil on Spiderman toybiz 18"...the joints on the arms...has so much articulation and um can I just use this oil
Yeah
Do you have to keep applying the lubricant every so often? Or is it a one time fix?
Every so often. Depends of how much you play and pose them. My Kazuya is still lubed up and it's been about a month now.
This video is so entertaining, it inspires me to produce videos on my channel.
Some shmerge.. what oil?
What's the best way to fix a mafex spiderman wrist? The peg broke and I don't want to ruin the figure.

Dstar01 Thank you! There are no videos that I know of that show you how to use a remedy for tight joints on vintage diecast. It’s aggravating. Lol
Hey dstar idc if u can recommend this but I tighten up my figs by puttin em in the freezer lol
I do that too. But 1 st I heat the joint with hot water to make the joints malleable, then I squeeze them so they are tight, and then freeze them.
Lol me too i put my marvel legend spiderman and scarlet spiderman too lol
Your oil is out of stock man what can I use as an effective alternative?
tbh, i used dawn ultra and boom, no more tight ssj3 goku legs

During the video you were talking about RC shock oil being an alternative. Is there a specific brand and/or type that you recommend? You also briefly mentioned density. Is the recommended density number still 100?

My spider man’s peg broke of at the hand and it’s stuck in the hand
I’m not to sure if this work but maybe you could get like a twist tie from sliced bread, and take off the paper and heat up the metal part. Then use the heated up metal stick and poke it into the broken peg and let it cool down and pull it out. Maybe look up a video of how to do it to see if the method actually works
