I just got one of these Halo 3 Master Chief figures. Got the one with the rocket launcher and the shield bubble. First off his right arm falls off, the peg at the shoulder ball doesn't fit into his arm good. So when i turn it it'll fall off again, he's fine if i just pose em and leave em.
And then his right hand doesn't fit in as far as his left hand. You can see the peg. Is there anway to fix his right arm so the shoulder peg fits in good and it won't fall out? I was thinking running hot water on it for awhile maybe soften it up then stick the peg in there. This is my first Halo figure just wanted Master Chief when i seen em. Oh and a little part of the rocket launcher at the front handle broke off. Heres a picture of the arm and how his right hand peg sticks out, looking at his left hand it's not like that. So how could i go about fixing em? Would hot water work to get his arm to stay on? Last edited by GhostGL; 09-30-2009 at 01:02 PM.. |

you can try the super glue trick. Basically you just coat the peg with a thin layer of super glue so that it retains the original shape but is a bit thinner. Wait for it to dry, pop the arm back on and if it's not tighter, do it again until it fights right. If the glue doesn't adhere to the peg plastic, you can also put a very tiny amount in the socket and pop it back on, but you have to be careful that you move the arm constantly until it dries (should only take a couple minutes) so that it doesn't fuse the joint.
I've also seen tutorials online about taking an exacto knife and putting a cut right down the center of the peg head so that it flares out a bit more to catch better. Be careful, but don't be scared about either solution, just about anything broken can be fixed here's a link to those solutions: http://www.allspark.com/forums/index...howtopic=47309 GOOD LUCK!
