Just curious if anyone has ever glued BAF parts together like the legs to the torso or the arms to the shoulder sockets? I play around with my figures and the BAFs seem to come apart kind of easily. Wondering if it would be possible to some how glue the parts together while still having the range of motion like regular figures. Like gluing the inner "pegs" to keep them together.

They wouldn't be able to rotate at the hip and the arms would be locked in place. You'd be able to bend the elbow joints and knees as well as moving the legs up, down, and outward. I wouldn't recommend it if you want to keep full articulation |

What I've done in the past is apply some clear nail polish to the end of the peg (let it dry) and use that beef up the attachment point. In some extreme cases, I've had to use gorilla glue gel in order to achieve the same results, but I've always let the glue dry before attaching.

I have never ever had a BAF come apart easily except for Paul Ellering at the waist. One of the three prongs inside the torso that clasps onto the waist peg is broken, so his torso pops off the legs with ease. Other than that, it is near impossible to get any of my BAFs apart. I’ve given up on the AWA red coat Mean Gene because I can’t get his WWF arms off the torso.

the arms on the suited BAF were always an issue. 3/4 suited figures the arm pops out when you really try and pry a pose out of them

I'm wanting to use the new virgil BAF for a new jack custom but i've had bad luck with the legs/torso connection coming apart when I pose/play with them. Especially with the nicholas one

I believe they use similar connectors, but I've got multiple UE figures that I can't keep the arms on at all, and I don't even play with or pose them, I just pick up the Gookerman and a couple others, and they're losing limbs.

My gookers arms fall off very easily as well. Huge disappointment in that figure :/ |

I have some BAF's where you rotate the arm the arm pops out. It's not a big deal since I don't play with my figures.
