A Sad Day For My Black Lightning.

[davidthecharmruffin]

Well I've had my Black Lightning for the longest right now. When I first got him his leg was a little stiff so I stuck him in the freezer for a good hour or so and got the leg loosened up. Well what should happen but yesterday I take him out only to have his leg snap off after trying to pose him. So apparently these guys joints can get stuck again even after loosing it up. No I gotta get me a new Black Lightning. Any help?

dangit! that sucks! how long have you had him? damn, out of all the figures it had to be from that dreaded wave 5. maybe you can mcgyver a leg from an extra dcuc?

That sucks! I have a messed up BL myself that I need parts to replace if you want to sell it to recoup some cash? LMK if you do!

are you talking DCUC Black Lightning?

 

if so, I managed to do a hip replacement on my Atom without any problem, just be gentle in separating the upper thigh, and the crotch area.

I am getting pretty good at fixing the legs myself. I just recent had my nightwings leg break off. So i took an exacto knifeand gently work it in the seam on the hip/pelvis area. and glue the peices that broke and then glue the pelvis back together. just remember to cut the leg hole a lil bit bigger to make up for the glue.In other words waller ( down south term ) it out a lil bit.

if you can buy another one at a store, replace the new one with the broken one & take it back saying it broke or was broken when you took it out That is what I did with my thebatman figure....

Since most DCUC's have the same body type, either find a decent replacement body, pop the head for a swap, and paint accordingly

 

or take a wave 6 black suited Supes and use that leg to replace the BL leg and then, once again, paint accordingly

that's an awesome tip noname! thanks, i might have to use that soon i reckon! the way these figures are falling apart, i wouldn't be surprised if something snapped. although my wave nine figs seem all sturdy, i even let my employer's kids borrow them and the figs survived!
