Is it a rubber band or something that holds the legs together? If so, they could probably be fixed similar to how I've fixed loose hipped Remco 9" monsters.
What did you use on the remco? A mego type 2 rubber band? One of mine toppled off the dresser last week and then the legs band snapped but I haven't tried to fix it yet. I was thinking maybe a Fonzie leg band or would that be too tight?

Been 30 years!
It might be some kind of mechanism instead of bands...
I can't recall either but i seem to think they may be plastic links/joints similar to the super-joe joints?
Plus I would think it would be a beeyotch to try to split that torso (if necessary) and then get it all back together right with that "chopping" action feature.

I just used the same type of elastic string that I use to restring T1 Megos. The hips have a type of plastic hook inside that originally have a thick rubber band holding them together through the pelvis. I just put elastic string on each hook, pulled it so it was really tight, tied it off and cut the excess. It worked pretty good on a really loose Remco Mummy I had.

Y'know.... I don't remember them in stores either; but back in the early/mid 80's we found TONS of them at yard sales. So they were presumably sold here....
These were my favorites for Christmas. I ended up with 2 of each and the vinyl ship. I still have my original Peg Leg and actually bought Peg Leg & Hook this year. I just missed those guys I guess...

There was a big warehouse find of outfits in Toronto in the early nineties, I was involved. I found it weird because I don't remember them either.
