The belt bat rope action feature broke on my 1989 Toy biz Batman. Instead climbing up the rope he now just hangs there like a Christmas ornament. This has to be a fairly common issue with these. Anyway to fix it other than just snipping the rope off and gluing the belt buckle on?

You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return... -
I'm not familiar with the toy at all - and I'll be the first to say that some features can't be fixed - but if you can provide us with more information, then you might have a chance.
If you can post photos of the problem, someone may have some suggestions. You'd be surprised how far a little improvisation and ingenuity can go towards solving such problems when all the information is available.
Right now, all I know is you've got a broken toy. (If not myself) we might be able to fix that.

I'm thinking he is a lost cause. Unlike Bob the Goon, another figure in Toy Biz's Batman 1989 line, there's no screws in the back or anyway to get the figure apart. Just a tiny square opening in the belt where the rope comes out. I've tried putting a paper clip and a small wire through the belt buckle to see if I could unlock the jammed mechanism. But that didn't work. I was hoping someone else that had this figure knew a trick to unjam the action feature. Sadly, it looks like, there is just no fixing him.You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion.

Is there any way to get some WD-40 down in there? It might loosen it up some after getting in there for a bit?Comment

Without looking at it, I'm guessing part of the mechanism slipped or broke. There's got to be a way to pry him apart (admittedly you could crack something), and from there you'd need pieces from something like one of those retracting ID badge reels to repair it.
Wish I had better suggestions . . .Comment
