So i bought mythic legions figure online and the damned thing broke immediately after i removed it from package. I tried to turn the head, and it just snapped right off, with the ball still in inside the head. I managed to get the ball out, and i want to fix it but im not a customizer or have any experience with this. I was going to drill a small hole in the neck and the ball and insert a little wire as a post, then try to glue everything back together. Any advice for someone who has no experience with this type of thing? what type of glue should i use? what should i use for a post? should i try to use something threaded? any advice is appreciated, thanks!

Sorry that I can not offer any help as I am not an expert, but a guy on You Tube called Law Creations used tiny earth magnets to hold heads on figures that had different ball joint sizes then the head. However he was using 1/18 action figures.

I would use a similar method for your figure, except due to the larger size, you may want to use a nail instead of a pushpin for extra support.

Did you buy it online from a place like BBTS? I’d contact them and get a replacement. If you bought it new from a place like that (not ebay or something), you might be able to contact the Four Horsemen directly and get them to help you.
