My figma stand peg broke inside of my Len figma! I swear, I was being gentle! It just snapped.
Any tips on how to get it out?
Here's the damage TT_TT
He's in despair!!
oh dear, that has happened to me a lot, have sooo many broken stands. What I do is use like the end of a ball point pen or something else thin and long and lever it out XD
Ah, I see. Hmm, I don't think a ball-point would fit, but I could see if I could find a needle or something.
Indeed! 是巣坊した！
I use a hot needle. Strong sewing needle. But test it on the figma stands first, after that. Heat up the needle, let it stab into the peg, wait for it to dry and harden, then pull out slowly.
Don't use needles that are too thick. The closer the heated needle is to the figma = bad!
Ohhh, that makes sense!!!
I have some thin sewing needles somewhere. I'll find those! Thanks!
Have steady hands and lots of patience ^^
My hands are very steady~!
Ooo! Or a heated safety pin could work.
do you think it could work for nendoroids, too?
my Miku nendo fell off a shelf and the neck piece had been stuck in her body for months - I've tried everything. never thought of heating something.
Depends if u want to leave marks on the neck TwT if no choice use this method but patch the hole mark later with a small amount of epoxy/nail polish then epoxy super glue it back.
thanks! but there are already a million marks on her neck :P
easy problems calls for easy solutions, super glue something else on to the part, and then pull it out all together , you can use anything you can glue to that plastic part
I SEE A STAR! oooo pretty!
XD Haha, yes~ I like nail stickers :3 Just plain color isn't enough for me!
