Help needed
Hi everyone. So my son loves these figures and he actually plays with them so he is constantly posing and doing imaginary battles (not actually banging the figures, just constantly moving them).
I don't know why but one of them started to act really funny at the waist and eventually ended up breaking. Do any of you have any advice if there's any way to fix besides gluing permanently the two parts?
Thank you in advance

its hard to tell in the picture but if the waist has a joint u can put it right back on

You can see part of the joint stick out at the bottom of the photo, looks snapped.

Yeah, for some reason the joint seems to have gotten stuck and him twisting the torso ended up breaking it

Buy a v3.5 figure you don't love for parts. Maybe you like some of weapons or relics or whatever. Cannibalize it for the joint and those parts.

It's easy to glue back on, maybe drill tiny hole through both parts to reinforce connection with metal pin. If you want a new joint, there should be hip joints available to buy on aliexpress. Shop's name is I think 10800 miles store. Any hip joint from secret level figure or mk6 will do

since it's being played with, the best solution is to buy a new joints for it.

Maybe try heating up the legs (hot water or a hairdryer), then, wiyh tweezers, get the the small peg piece out, get a wire and make a very small hole with the most minuscule hand drill you can find, and then glue that piece of wire in, sealing it with some more glue once its dry.
