I'm really UPSET! One of my favorite toys is broken! Guys, I pulled the old Mego KISS dolls out to display them today, and to my great DISAPPOINTMENT, the Paul Stanley doll's knee is broken. I pulled the costume off to see just how bad, & although it isn't as bad as I thought, I'm still bummed! The pin through the joint has sheared off somehow & the knee is kind of hanging. I can put it back together well enough to get it to stand, but I'm going to have to look into repairing this pretty soon. I'm just trying to figure out how it happened! These things have been in storage, packed in bubble wrap, for several years now. Other than this little problem, they're near perfect! Maybe something happened during the last move... I don't know. Just wanted to vent about it!!!!!!!
Re: I'm really UPSET! One of my favorite toys is broken! Yeah, it could've been worse. Maybe these are like voodoo dolls - we'll see if PS has to have a knee replacement surgery anytime soon... With the way they're getting up in age, and the way he jumps around on those platforms, it's not all that farfetched. As many times as I've seen them in concert, I've seen him come close to biting it a few times... I haven't seen him actually fall yet though...
When I get some time, I'll take some pictures of the break & see if any of you toy experts have some suggestions on how to repair it.
Re: I'm really UPSET! One of my favorite toys is broken! voodoo dolls heh?...you didn't by chance have a Dimebag Darrel doll did you Kevin?
oh man, that was in really bad taste...forgive me...
sorry about your Paul doll bro...I remember having EV-909 star wars figure 100 figure out of it's package i had it in this curio cabinet never ever touch it at all...then one day i was showing a buddy the figure, the next day it's arm just came off!!
WTH!?!?!?
You got me on this stuff bro, hope it all works out for you!
Re: I'm really UPSET! One of my favorite toys is broken! Dimebag Darrel... Priceless!
OK, I've figured out that the Earth is not gonna spin off its axis anytime soon because of this... I guess I'm cool with it. I've got a few ideas of how to repair it. I can never claim that they're "perfect" or original anymore, but I'm OK with that as long as I can display them. At least I HAVE them right? More that many other old-school KISS fans can say... Gotta learn to count my blessings!
Re: I'm really UPSET! One of my favorite toys is broken! That's right Kevin!
I just finally broke down and bought a couple clearanced out Alien Vs. Predator figures, the two Aliens in the line, i never ever found any of the predators! errrr!! anyone, anyone??
Anyway, when i opened them i realized they are both the exact same body just different head sculpts...d'oh! and we all now McFarlane toys and their, "hey, do you think this part can move?" toys...so i post the Battle Alien, turn his jointed waist and get a decent pose...then comes the Grid Alien...start the posing, move to turn the waist and then *SNAP* breaks right in half and inside i see the glued down joint that should move!!
I e-mailed them so i hopes they make it right. Playmates toys did me right a couple years back, when i e-mailed them about all their darn Exclusives and how impossible it was to acquire some of them, they were so polite and seemed to care so much that they sent a Cooder and Sinclair set just for my trouble! mind you the set and been unavailable for a year or so at the time and they were on eBay at like 60 bucks a set back then...
I wish Mattel would be like that with there stuff...
