Got home a stash of alien figures from neca but as I remember it from the past: their quality is just as bad as back in 2012: only 1 of 5 were fully alright, the rest has problems like loose limbs or balljoints thats broken etc.
My brown aliens ultimate xeno has the problem with the arms are loose and wont hold many poses without falling down.
But biggest problem is the right leg where the balljoint barely holds together and a large crack can be seen, if I move the leg further the balljoint want to split apart into two pieces.
I plan to use the hot water method to try and close the limbs more together and use nail polish and hopefully that will make the arms more stiff.
But the balljoint/leg, is that fixable?
Or someone here who might be able to repair it for me and preferable is located in europe?

My Alien isolation stumpy alien:
Only problem with this figure is the dome that is on one side barely fitted and has a big opening and its not following the head there, I have no idea how to fix that or if its even fixeable, as I doubt the hot water method would work and end up having water inside ruining the transparency.
Any ideas or Im better off throwing it away and try and buy another one?
Aliens defiance alien:
The left leg is very woobly and loose and the pins and leg barely go into eachother, left arm is also very loose. The leg is worst as you can see from the picture: the upper leg joint seem to bend outward making little contact with the lower leg, barely the pins holds them together.
I plan to use the hot water method and try to squeese the upper leg joint together and more bent inwards, and then if needed use clear nail polish for it, and for the arm.
Or anyone here have a better idea?
Or suggestions how to easily fix loose arms and legs with necas aliens?
Kinda expensive to hunt down these figures they dont produce anymore and pay lots and then get it home to find a leg or arm is barely working. xD
