    Anything I can do with this broken Batman?

    He was absolutely fine out of the box. Then I go back to him and his arm is off and leg seems “stretched out.” Any tips would be appreciated!

        I don't know about those classic Batman series are they repaired simply by restringing or is it a rubber band job?

          The rubber bands and hooks can be discarded and it can be strung entirely with elastic cord. There should be something in the custom tips section.

              I use o rings to replace the rubber bits, works perfectly. They are about the size of a nickel. I keep the hip plastic hook and the first metal part in the shoulder all the rest goes in the garbage. FTC could really solve a lot of issues with the figures just by revamping the connectors. Once I do it they pose a lot better and don't have pee pee stance

                Thanks everyone!!! Seems like it will make a fun little project and make the figure stronger than it was upon opening.

                  Thanks to you guys, Batman is back in action! Is he perfect? No. Removing the head was a nightmare and is fairly torn so eventually I’ll have to replace it. I may even restring him eventually if I get better at it, but it actually turned out kind of fun.

                      O rings at home depot. If u tore the neck plug there is an easy fix. If u have a ruined head With a good neck plug...like a zombie Ponch or a green AJ...remove the head above the nose. And stuff the half head inside the head missing the neck plug.
