Repair advice

[K-Tiger]

So I went digging through my bag of old figures that really should be thrown away and found my Hush Harley Quinn. She's a great looking figure, and I miss having her on display, but she's got.....issues.


And by issues I mean 3/4 of her joint hinge pegs are broken and gone. DC Direct used clear plastic (which tends to be more susceptible to breakage in my experience.) and they almost all have gone kablooey. Any advice on fixing her up? I originally just jammed sections of bamboo skewer in the joints, but it is in no way an acceptable repair.


Please tell me there's something I can do?

Pictures of the figure?

Looking at her again, I think if I can get the peg ends shaved down and painted that the skewer pegs might be acceptable after all.

Well, I have a method to fix hinge pins, but it's not very pretty.

Those skewers or any type of wooden dowel that fits should look fine once painted.

Save the heads of the original pins and use them to cover whatever you use as replacements.

Heh, those are long gone. I've been fiddling with it, and the method I used is fine after paint. Really can't tell unless you're up close.


Now I just have to find that hammer. Wonder how she'll look with the '66 Batman stuff?
