It seems that I have seen the answer to this in another thread somewhere, but I just can't seem to find it.
Does anyone have a way to tighten up the arms on klickys when they become loose and won't stay up anymore? We've gotten some older klickys in ebay lots with this problem. I figured out how to tighten up the legs, but am not sure what to do about the arms.

If the frame skeleton is the neutral color, I use a hair dryer set on high to soften the arm slots, then squeeze them together using padded forceps. Use heat resistant gloves to handle the frame during these procedures. You can use this procedure to tighten the leg tension finger on the frame also. Let the frame cool entirely before test fitting appendages. You can rinse in cold water to speed things along.

ok, thanks. I'll have to experiment on a spare.

Thanks.....so we dont have to take the klickies apart to cure their slouch?? :wave:

I just put a little tape on the end of their arms,
the part that connects to the frame.
And it goes back in nice and secure. :)

the skeleton trick has worked perfectly for me (as well as when the torso bends over)
