So, I was posing my Big Boa figure (2012 FSS) for a dio when his foot just snapped off. Looks like part of the foot peg in still in the figure. Is there a way to repair this? Thanks.

getting another foot from a donner figure, no problem, i removed a broken hand peg similar to your situation, heat a needle, push into the peg left in the leg, let cool, then heat the bottom of the leg, that should losen or soften it enough, then pull the needle and it should bring it out.

Small drill bit by hand, leave bit in, dip the foot in super hot water, pop out of hole.

Well, heated leg, used small pair of sewing scissors to pry the peg bits out. Can figure out how to pop off doaner foot, so I used leg from a random (25th?) Destro to replace FSS Boa's left foreleg, foot and shin untill I can figure out how to pop foot from viper.

That's a $30 broken foot. Aside from being pissed I'd probably try to melt the broken pieces back together with part of a toothpick or needle incorporated call it a day and try not to mess with that foot anymore. Sucks man, good luck.

Ah, well, guess I could repaint the Destro leg I used like the T-1000 and give Big Boa a Bio leg. At least I can salvage something.

Bio leg sounds good. If you're going that route I'd make a companion figure to go with him. Could have a crushed head, maybe something like an Oberyn Martell?

Obyryn might be a consideration, although, now, I am able to use the leg again. I was thinking "wait a minute. Didn't the Club give me a pair af spare Night Force Pack Hit&Run Feet to replace the ones that had no holes for the stand pegs? Where did I put my bad H&R Feet? I searched, and lo and behold, I found Nocternal Fire H&R Left foot, without the stand hole in the bottom, but still usable for the Boa repair. Popped right into the hole. Though, now one foot is larger than the other. I'm still going to do the bio leg with H&R's left foot. At least I got an inspiration for another custom from this experience.
