Okay, lemme tell ya about 2 fixes I had to do on Funko DC figures today:

First one: I got a Suicide Squad Underwater Batman in the mail today, and as the cape was hard as a rock, I had to grab his arm by the lower arm to move the shoulder.

The moment I gave a slight pull, it snapped the elbow at the arm. Simply because the arm was frozen in place(once I managed to move the cape, though, it budged). The lower arm was still perfectly intact, thankfully, and all of the joint was still there, so I took a lighter, put the plastic NEAR the flame(accidentally put it in the flame at first, so now it has a singe there), and melted the two points back together solidly. I then just did some boil work to put the lower arm back on, and it was good as new, save for the burn(though it doesn't really matter since I'm gonna paint it anyway).


Second one: My 66 Batgirl's right elbow has never set properly. I just couldn't get both parts of the lower arm to attach at the same time, so since I had the boiling water out anyway, I decided to try a complete removal of the peg and to reset it that way. However, I couldn't get it back together, so after a while, I just gave up, grabbed a toothpick, and stuck it through the hole as a placeholder...And it fit perfectly. The arm functioned just like the other arm. On a hunch, I decided to cut the toothpick down and what do you know? Perfectly functional.

I've got some purple paint that I think can cover up the obvious color difference, but I think the reason that the actual peg doesn't fit is that it's probably a knee peg in an ELBOW. Obviously, I'm not gonna take out a knee to compare, but it seems probable.
