Repairing a first generation smdm

[Access]

Howdy all! I've come upon a smdm Steve Austin with his left forearm broken off. Everything else looks good so I thought maybe I could repair him like I've done with megos, well I can't figure out how to get the arm off, or even how to get the body apart for that matter!

Any advice or experience in this regard? Thanks in advance.

Okay then, lol. The silence speaks volumes! So I'm guessing its never been done or even attempted!

What I would do is make a small hole in the forearm joint using a pushpin...then do the same at the bicep. Unfold a paper clip and cut a small portion of it off. Insert the portion of paper clip into the bicep and the forearm and push them together...it should hold. I hope that makes sense....

Well, I got him with no forearm. I saw some guy selling the, on eBay for like 15 bucks, but as I read more about it, it seems like he has 2nd gen stuff, as the first gen doesn't appear to be able to remove the left arm. I may buy one anyhow just to try and do some prosthetic surgery! Lol

Yeah, the SMDM toy with it's removable limbs is a breeze to switch out broken parts... unless it's the left arm on a first year figure. I'd just try and get a later release figure... there are a ton of them out there, and can be got for a reasonable price with some looking.

Ah, didn't realize you didn't have the forearm....you might be able to score a left arm for cheap, then just break it at the elbow yourself and put the new forearm on your figure using the method I described.

Thanks guys! Even though the figure is in excellent shape otherwise, ill probably just keep my eye open for a "naked" one for cheap! Maybe ill model a small chainsaw and he can be the lee majors version of "ash" from army if darkness! Lol. I love action figures!
