Ok guys. So, I took my thinker from the shelf, and when I tried to rotate his head, the joint broke. How bad did I fucked up? Is there a way to fix? Maybe buy another head? Pls help!

Don't they sell spare figma style joints
>>5697313
I dont know friend. The problem is that even if the joint is broken, how do I remove the piece inside the neck and the head?
>>5697311
The joint is fucked beyond repair.
You'll need to heat up the neck piece (with boiling water or a hairdryer) and try to pry out the broken peg without damaging the surrounding area where the peg goes in.
Take out the other half of the joint from the head with some tweezers or something.
It's going to need a new joint. You can't buy 'another head' without getting any entirely new figure, the head isn't the thing that's broken.

How big is the peg? You could use a manual drill and pull it out like a wine cork.

>when I tried to rotate his head, the joint broke
Sure. You probably "barely used any force at all." You fucking Hamhands are always the same. You use your tard strength without making sure the joint is positioned correctly, then you come here and cry about how careful you were and the poor little joint, made from gossamer and children's dreams, just crumbled at a mere thought.
You can tell just by looking at the pic that you forced the joint. That plastic is all torn up.
Fortunately you have a couple of alternatives.
1-buy another Thinker
2-buy a cheap figma from Mandarake and steal a joint from it
3-go to eBay and get some joints. They sell them in lots, starting at 10 joints and going up. They're randomly colored so you might get lucky.
4-go here. http://castingcave.ecrater.com/c/1695373/articulated-joints
5-go beg in the BST or the Customs threads and see if anybody can spare one for you.

You can also order a pack of these. They work well on Figmas.

I never said it wasn't my fault anon. The thing is, like I said before, I just rotate the head and the joint broke. Never happened with me before, but thats okay. Thank you for the tips anyway.
>>5697311
Your sausage fingers aren't meant for something like this. Stick to buying Hasbro junk, it's the best advice anyone will give you.
>>5697380
>Any tips?
Stop being a hamhanded faggot, Tor.
>>5697394
Ok. Ill see if I find that tool...
>>5697449
You could really use anything to pry it out as long as you're careful.
>>5697383
Don't be such a fucking asshole
>>5697462
Lick my taint, Pollyanna. This isn't your safespace.
Now go back to your hugbox.
>>5697396
>I never said it wasn't my fault anon.
I never said that you did.
But I can tell just by looking a the picture you posted that you didn't simply "try to turn the head".
You tried to tilt the head forward or back, but didn't have the joint angled correctly. It wouldn't move so you forced it, heavily, thus breaking the peg off. None of this "I barely touched it and Snap!" BS.
>>5697816
AH I see. Now, Why would I lie about that here when everyone is anonymous? Im not saying that this brand or that brand is bad, I only said that I tried to spin the head and it broke the joint! I'm used to work with delicate things dude but it did broke.
>>5697512
Love you the way you are. The asshole with a heart of gold.
You big softy.
love the internet tough-guy bs that happens here.
I always picture this guy whenever anybody pulls it.
>>5697838
>I only said that I tried to spin the head and it broke the joint!
But you didn't. You can look at the picture and see the break wasn't due to twisting. It was snapped off because you pushed it without having the joint aligned properly.
Why would you lie? I dunno, Massive insecurity, massive ego, hell maybe just because you're a habitual liar. It doesn't matter. you can't accept you fucked up, so you try to lessen your responsibility, even though nobody will ever have a clue as to who you are.
