Really Need Help With A Stuck Joint

Really Need Help With A Stuck Joint
Posted in
Action Figure ChatterSo I got most of a baf sentinel and there's a problem. The lower torso's right leg joint is stuck. Not stuck like it won't move at all. Stuck like it won't "lock" in place. For example, I'll move the left joint forward. It stays in place and I hear the click of it staying in place. I try to move the right one forward and it's like it'll bend forward, but then it slowly returns back in the straight position. Like there's gum or something like that stuck in he joint, causing it not to click forward. There are a few times when it will click, but usually it doesn't. Can someone please help? Ills it just how the piece is? Is it broken? What's going on and how do I fix it?

Please wait...

And Galactape, thank you for the offer, but I don't need another one now.
Here's two examples, See those black bits in Maestro's crotch, they're rubber and fit real tight against the pegs to make them tight. The grey Hulk is a different example where the grey square fits inside the crotch and the leg pegs fit in the grey square.
I'm guessing Sentinel would have a similar set up to the grey hulk maybe with a square for each leg. So I'd think it would probably be a problem with whatever they used to tighten up the legs. Kinda sounds like what everyone said
Now, after fiddling with it more, it seems that when I take the bottom of the joint, push it upward, then pull it forward to move the joint, it'll click and stay. So it seems like the peg that holds the joint is sagging or something. Hm maybe if I heat it up and try to move it back?
Yeah, I thought about opening it up. That's probably the best solution, but Id hate to break him open. Thanks for responding though. I really appreciate it!
