Hey gang,
My vintage O-ringers are in pretty good condition, but some of them are starting to fall apart due to the O-rings degrading. Does anyone know what the BEST O-ring replacements are? Is there a specific O-ring I should use or will a certain size of plumber's o-rings work just as well? LMK any tips you may have, as I want to be cost effective, but I don't want to sacrifice quality. Thanks!

DO NOT buy the ones the club has for sell. They say Official Hasbro or something like that, but they are super tiny, about the size of a pencil. I messaged the club about it back and forth, and the lady told me repeatedly they were the right size, and I was the only one who complained.

As for which o rings to get, opinions seem to vary on the size, but you can get them at lowe's etc. I would say size 9. Some say 7.

Does anyone know of any online dealers besides "Small Joes" that sells replacement parts for o ringed figures ? I just broke out my old figures and i want to repair them to display with my newer 25th figures. I need o rings and back screws. Thanks

I usually have a ton in stock in my web store, but sadly, I sold out a little bit ago. I might have some hidden in my warehouse that I just missed. I'll check tomorrow and get back.

Those are way too small.
I got bag of 100 in the mail from a EBay dealer last week. They fit fine on the older joes. I took one of the Orings to home depot to compair the size. Size: #8 is what they match up to the Orings in the plumbing section. I spent some time this past week replacing all the Orings in my older joes. I was starting to run out and had to order more.
