Action Figure ChatterI got my DCUC flash in the mail today. it was a great buy. $20.75 for MOC priority shipping. BUT... when I opened it I realized it has the same problem my first DCUC green lantern and black lightning had. it's where the peg on the left leg's connection to the hip is like, glued in it's socket. the scary part is that the peg is almost ready to twist off... AHHHHH!!!
please help me find a way to fix this problem some how... I would really love a flash that could actually move its motherf***ing LEGS!!!!

Please wait...

glad it worked. yami PM'd that he had the same issue with a different figure and was able to rectify it with the freezer trick too.
Buzzy Fret - Miracle Worker. has a nice ring to it.
HU-ZAH!
it's so great to hear from you though buzzy!!! I'd thought you died or something, GOD... so I'll pm you if it doesn't work out. thanks for the advice though man!
you gotta be very careful with this. if the hip connector peg tears, you're done. you can't repair that short of replacing the leg. if it's already tearing you might as well give up on it and toss him in the fodder bin.
if it's not actually tearing, try putting him in the freezer for about an hour. then take him out gently try to move the leg increasing pressure as needed. if the freezing did the trick it should crack and move normally. if it feels like it's still sticky or mushy stop moving it. at that point you might have to crack his crotch open to figure it out.
I just had to do the freezer trick yesterday with a Black Manta. also did it in the past to an Atom, Black Lightning and Batman Beyond. tried it on Lightray and his hip peg snapped because, I think, it was accidently glued in.
if you end up accidently amputating Flash's leg; PM me so we can get you hooked up with another at considerably less than $21.
