How do I repair this obitsu arm?

Postby furubafan3 » Fri May 31, 2013 9:56 am

As you all may know I own an adorable 11cm obitsu. I had just completed her face up and modded her arms so they wouldn't stop popping out and I finally felt like she became a full character. Unfortuantley, when I gave my doll to my sister to look at she snapped the elbow joint clean off.

Now the ball joint that represents the elbow only has one peg attatched to the upper arm. The other peg is slammed into the forearm socket and I can't get it out.

Is there anyway I can remove the peg without destroying it or the forearm?

Can you get a picture? Is there enough surface to use Superglue gel to reattach? I re-attached one of Cordie's fingers with it. You have to let it sit for 24 hours to have a permanent bond.

Get a pin or needle, poke it into the stuck piece of peg, carefully use it to pull the stuck piece out of the socket.

I tried to stick a pin and hammer it in but I can't secure the arm to properly push it in. I only succeeded in chipping plastic bits off the stuck peg.

Try this at your own risk but...maybe try to very carefully dip a toothpick or pin in super glue and then touch it to the peg VERY CAREFULLY!! and when it dries gently pull the peg out, and break off the pin. Then you can try gluing the peg back to the joint or just replace the joint if you can. That would be the best option.

Sorry, I don't have 11cm body. but...

Remove shoulder joint from that upper arm.
if you can see the head of joint piece, push it from shoulder side with any stick.

I think those joint holes are penetrating a arm part.
