Remember how I posted about my Nanoha Figma and how her hand came off? Well, I managed to fix that, and also her broken off twin tail v(^o^)/

She was like this when I unboxed her (T_T) I superglued the tail back on, but it didn´t hold together, so I started to look at some other solutions.

The peg was stuck in there, so I took out my Dremel-a-like and drilled out the hole. After trying out some different things to see if they fit (for example, different sizes of Gundam kit sprues), I tried one of the alternate hands. Whaddayaknow, like a glove O_O

So I had to make a tough call and sacrifice one of the hands. I decided to cut off the peg of the left version of the right one that had already snapped.

Drilled a not-too-deep hole for the peg to fit...

...and here´s the end result. I´m glad i was able to fix Nanoha, but I´m also happy that there are no more early Figma releases that I´m interested in owning. Quality control at MF/GSC can be a little spotty, I guess. Anyway, I hope that some of you will find my fix helpful in repairing some of your figures. Thanks for watching!

Any of you had any Figma break?
