Good luck on finding one..Don the hardest to get.another option is buying the Reg Don and paint his bandana

wouldn't it be cool if for Black and White Friday exclusives, they make a sketch variant like the NECA figures? I'd love to see something like that for the comiquettes:

Just bought one from someone. Never been opened. This is what the arm looks like.

It does not slide in.

I'm not sure what my next move should be. I do not want to risk breaking it.

They were all a bit tight. So some force is required... Good luck. It's a great piece. Did you get the ex or reg.?

It's regular. Do you notice the metal is not straight. From all the pictures and videos of other peoples, theirs is straight. Much different than mine.

 

[Mqhuynh]

Well mine is in storage so I can't help you with pics. Maybe others can but I do see what you mean.

Here is another picture that might help show.

I just don't want to start trying to bend it. I really think that it might shatter the hand.

 

[Mqhuynh]

Does the peg fit in at all? I'm sure bending it with pliers would be okay but be very careful. Try asking sideshow if they have any spare parts? Worth a shot.

 

[BaxterStockman]

To get the peg to start to slide, the rest is out of position. I watched a guy's video of his, he put his in with ease. https://youtu.be/1zHAeAY9iG4?t=4m36s

i freezed the camera and looked at his pin, and it looks nothing like mine.

 

[Mqhuynh]

Yeah. His one looks straighter than yours.

 

[BaxterStockman]

I'm sick to my stomach. Been looking for one of these for years. Finally get one. And I get the one of the bunch that doesn't fit together..

 

[Mqhuynh]

Sorry to hear bud. Try drilling the peg hole?? Not much else I could think of.

I really wish SS would make some TMNT PF's. I missed out on these back in the day but some 1/4 turtles would

I agree that attempting to bend it might do more harm than good. Short of drilling out the hole to help it better fit, I haven't got much advice either. Definitely not an ideal situation. The only other thing I can think of is if you bend the distal part of the peg rather the whole thing, such that it doesn't cause excessive stress on the part that rests inside of the mold predisposing it to cracking, etc.

I would contact Sideshow too, just for the heck of it and see if they have a replacement part they could sell/give you. It's a LONG shot, but I've seen stranger.

Ok... Update: Wow, I actually got it. Took me hours and hours to shave off inside to get it to fit. And not just inside the pin, where the molding fits in too.

What is left on the table, isn't even close to all the shavings that I had to get. Probably about 4 hours worth. I was able to bend the pin, but that wasn't the only problem. The pin's placement inside the hand was off a little bit. So even just bending it wasn't enough to get it to slide in right. So I used some computer screw drivers that were perfect size to get in the pin whole, where I shaved it down to get it in. It was a very slow process. I kept thinking if I just got the pin perfect, i'd be able to push it in. Well that wasn't possible, and my blisters on my fingers can prove that. (I know i could have probably drilled it out. But I don't have a drill with bits that size, and I didn't feel comfortable drilling my new, expensive prized possession.)

As you can see, it still isn't perfect.

But I think it is as good as I'll be able to get it with the way the pin is in it. Which is works for me.


Welcome to the collection Donatello!
