1/6 Sideshow Batman - Loose hands

[Variant_One]

Hi all,

This will be my first post on this forum. I have been browsing for a while now and the information people share in incredible so I look forward to contributing over time.

A quick Q:
I have the Sideshow 1/6 Batman (Blue Bats) but his right hand seems to fall off very, very easily. It's frustrating when you are trying to pose him as then the gauntlet falls off also.

Are there any tips on how to make this hand stick inside better? I was thinking of putting a thin slice of clay around the post part to make it a tighter fit. Any better ideas?

Thanks in advance.
Jack

What I use is Teflon tape on the posts:

200 dollar figure and the hands don't stay on Keep up the great work Sideshow.

It seems there are quite a few issues with sideshow models. Ah well, thats where the fun of modding comes in. Although your right, for a high priced item you would expect something as simple as that to work!

Mine has no issues with the hands. In fact, this is the first time I've heard of this issue....

Don't have problems with my SSC Batman's hands as well

The hands on mine are fine. It's the left elbow joint that isn't. It was loose out of the box (brand new). Seller was good enough to give me a partial refund, but still. That said, it still looks great, even in a museum pose.

I am certainly not complaining about it too much, it's a minor problem where there's a simple fix it seems. Looks fab just standing there as you say. Waiting for the tape to arrive so I can make the fix.

Worked a treat. Thanks for the suggestion!
