Play Arts Kai Metal Gear Solid figures

I need some help, guys. I love MGS, and I recently purchased a PAK Solid Snake and

proceeded to fall in love. This figure is awesome! All was well until just a few

weeks ago, I was just casually posing him around and an elbow pad popped off. To

make matters worse, as I continued fiddling around with him, the other one soon

followed. Now, if any of you have this figure, you know that the elbow pad rests

directly on top of the elbow joint itself. I don't know how to go about fixing

this guy without taking the rest of gunking up his joints with glue. Any ideas? I

knew of someone who fixed a Gray Fox figure with the same problem, but I never got

a chance to ask them how they went about it. Any insight is greatly appreciated.

This has been bugging me for awhile now.

Also, for those who can give me feedback, which figure would better go with Snake

in terms of scale/overall playability, sneaking suit or jungle fatigues Big Boss?
