The arm on my Riddler snapped off

Anybody have a link to the Amazon o-rings? I can only find a pack of 6, not 20

Sorry I just checked and the seller I ordered them from on Amazon shows them unavailable now. Try searching for Danco #12.

Also Home Depot has them on their site, you can order of have delivered to the store for pickup.

Careful when you order them from Amazon. I accidentally ordered a 1 pack. I had to re-order the 20 pack so make sure you are getting the right thing. ;-)

Just opened up a Joker wave 1 repro, and an arm fell off as soon as I pulled him out. The shoulder ring was broken. Fortunately it's for a custom anyways, so not a big deal and I just swapped out the arm with an extra arm I have on hand anyways, but still not cool.

Email FTC and they will probably send you a new Joker body. Or you can use MIB's method for using a match to melt the plastic back then coating with Super Glue.

If you have a rubber band from an original Mego available compare it to the black one that comes out of the Joker. FTC made them too short.

BTW who calls them 'dollies'?

I can answer this. Her name is Kissy-Thug. She tells all her Roller Derby chicks, that her husband makes dollies, Oh excuse me, 'Man-Dollies'! You know, the type of character dolls that men collect. Superheroes, and Monsters and Action Movies characters. Stuff like that. Then the Roller Derby chicks all go,'Oh, yah. Now I know what you're talking about'. Then she (Kissy-Thug) says;"Yah, arts and crafts".

I restring CTVT bodies all the time and the O-Ring that I use and found to be a good replacement are 13/16th"O.Dx5/8th"I.D.x3/32" - Danco brand #12

BTW Amazon has these for roughly $6 shipped for a package of 20. Enough for 10 figures. Thanks again for the tip.

SHE'S NOT GRANDMA WALTON!!! It's really Aunt May. They just packaged her in the wrong box. Stupid Mago company.

And may I add what a handsome lady she is.

I had success by uncrossing the bands. Still a little snug but not nearly as bowlegged.

Actually it was stored on the card. BTW who calls them 'dollies'? Is your favorite Mego Grandma Walton?

Thank you, I had decided that was the size I was going to try first, thanks for the confirmation.

DR it's the Riddler first wave, not the 66 series. I saw the restringing articles but would rather go with o rings to avoid the bowlegged look.

Never tried the o rings before. Let me know how it works.

Player, was it the Retro Riddler or the Batman 66 Riddler? The reason I'm asking, is I own both.
Repairing is discussed on the Custom Mego Discussions board a lot. The Mego Museum is a 'think-tank' of fantastic ideas.

I did a post on restringing a type 2 body complete with photos and illustrations, based on the information available here. There are so many different ways, it's amazing.

fallensaviour, I got a CTVT BK shield and extra hands. Let me look for his sword.

Maybe you should play nicer with your dollies and they wouldn't break.
