Thank-you very much! I was disappointed when I opened my package today, but then 2 people (D & MT) at the Toybuzz redirected me here to fix my GL figure.

Holy crap man! That is awesome! I’d put off getting these because of this problem. Now I just have to hope my TRU still has them next week. Thanks for the info!

Great tip. Will definately use once I purchase the figures. I noticed that you have some cast heads in the background. Could you do a step by step on that. What products to purchase .How to do.

Thanks for the kind words guys!

Yeah, this was a fun one, as normally I drill, glue, pin and paint the hell out of stuff for fixes. But the format of the Mego figure gave me a chance to figure out a fix that was totally non-destructive. Since these are all about nostalgia I like the idea that adding a part can make them function and display better without any permanent change.

After all, we all know those elastics are going to need replacing eventually. I think most Mego fans had a Spiderman that was only held together by his bodysuit… lol.

This way, when the day comes to replace the elastics, the “back brace” can come off and be replaced just as easily!

Spy, where the heck were you when I was growing up? Seriously, man: You could have worked wonders for all those loose Mego figures that we grew up breaking apart. Maybe you could have started a workshop in the school playground during recess or something. LOL. You’re the man!

That’s it?!? Wow! This makes me want to open up my Green Arrow and Green Lantern figures. Now that we have a body fix, can we get a resealable package fix? Thanks, Spy!

That is extremely helpful! I don’t have any of the Retro Action figures yet, but once I get them, if they have a hunching problem, I will definitely be doing this. Great work, Spy!
