I forgot to tell you guys this, but my mentally disabled older brother got a hold of my Aquaman figure and broke its arm, like what happened with Superman back in January. I need to get it fixed. I wish these figures were more durable!!FTC apologist, Hawkman stan, and Cybatom shipper.Comment

A. Green Lantern's leg has broke
B. Superman's right leg is shorter than the left, which means he's at an angle when I stand him up
C. BIRDMAN, MY NICEST FIGURE, ONE WHOSE HEAD DID NOT WOBBLE AT ALL, HIS ARM JUST CAME OFF. FTC is the worst 8" maker this side of New Brunswick.FTC apologist, Hawkman stan, and Cybatom shipper.Comment

your Superman likely just has the bands too tight and so the pelvis twists and it appears the legs are different lengths. all 3 figures sound like they need to be restrung. it is easy to do with some string elastic. I believe there are tutorials on the MM or you can probably find one on youtubeComment

Dad was able to fix Birdman, proving that he is the greatest figure in the repertoire. How do I restring it? I don't think I have string elastic...FTC apologist, Hawkman stan, and Cybatom shipper.Comment

you can also get replacement rubber bands to rebuild them. DR Mego I believe sells them. not sure about FTC/CTVT. do a search on youtube, there are plenty of videos giving tutorials on repairComment

its about the size of a nickel if that helps. Should be easy to get locally.You must try to generate happiness within yourself. If you aren't happy in one place, chances are you won't be happy anyplace. -Ernie BanksComment

of course, this is all assuming it was the band that broke, and not just the arm coming off the hook or a hip pin breakingComment
-
The arm came off the hook. But this is about Superman's bands being too tight, no?FTC apologist, Hawkman stan, and Cybatom shipper.Comment
-
if it just came off the hook then you should be able to reattach it. but yes, the bands are too tight on some of theseComment
-
My dad reattached the arm, but I have to do something about Superman's bands. When I first got the new body, I saw no signs of the bands being too tight, but now the torso being slightly turned... was the body always like that and I just don't remember?FTC apologist, Hawkman stan, and Cybatom shipper.Comment
