Hello, I recently bought a big collection of joes recently and some of them had broken O-rings...I was wondering what size o-rings to get. I know you can get them in the plumbing section at lowes but waht size? All help is greatly appreciated!! Oh, yeah any tips on trading out j-hooks out on vintage figures? I have a broke star viper I would like to fix...thanks again.

Theres a guy on e-bay that sells them in 100 to 500 also check Brianstoys.com. I think his name is Vipersandmore??

The #9 O-rings they carry work perfectly. I use those on all my old joes.

What do I do about broken J-hooks between their legs? Is it hard to get the legs apart? Or do they seperate just like the back and chest once the screw is removed? Can I get J hooks on ebay as well? Thanks guys..

you have to unscrew the thigh screws to get the J hooks out, they are compressed together. I know Brians toys has them for sale. look at the Joe accessories icon
