Can anyone in the UK help me out with some parts?? or offer some advice? as these 2 Rey figures are awful to fix, as hands are rubber and parts don't simply pop off with these early Mattels. Elite Seth hands needed, Hand needed for Elite Warrior, (his Left hand) problem is the peg is broken off inside his forearm, so I assume I need to replace his forearm too? Triple H, brogue shoes needed (his Left foot) Elite Kane, his right boot needed

hey mate all you need to do is boil the kettle then dip the limbs in the cup with hot water, let it settle for min. 1min, then you should be able to use tweezers or tongs or something like a small screwdriver to pop the broken pegs out, you will need to soften limbs up again when putting new parts in.
Kane boot is broken though... you will need to glue it and lose articulation (any Undertaker elite fig can be used for boot replacement)
For Triple H any suited figure (before new style basics ie. last couple of years) will work for replacement too.

Kane's boot could be fixed in a manner similar to in this video.

I have tried before getting broken pegs out of arms and legs and have had zero luck, will try again with kettle. (as only used hairdryer before) yeah, I know with Kane I would need to glue a boot on permanently with Triple H, surely there is not too many figures that have Brogue shoes? as I'd like to have match shoes for him.

jesus man, did u feed those figures to the dog??? the HHH shoe isnt broken, should be able to soften the shoe and pry it on provided the shoe isnt ed.... the peg is still good on the leg end.... any hands will work, just try and find some with a similar skin tone, dip with wrist in boiled water for a min and they will pop right in. u will need to replace kanes leg from the knee down. put in boiled water for a min, then easiest way to get off is to pull appart the joint on one of the sides, the peg will pop thro the side... to get one back on ive found the easiest was is to put the peg thro the inside hole on the lower leg, put in boiled water to soften, put the leg back on, then push the peg thro.... seems to be harder is ur using the outside hole with the peg stuck in the warrior wrist, id sugest getting a small drillbit and carfully drilling the peg out use the arm off the Basic rey to fix the arm on the elite rey, then harvest the other arm and the headscan off the basic for spare parts and throw the rest of the basic out.... only thing basics are good for is spare arms and headscans. or if you do custom work on headscans, crack the torso to take the arms and legs off. stick the torso back together with only the head peg sticking out, glue it together and carve the head peg down so heads can come on and off without heating but still holds heads sturdy.... then you have a base to hold your heads while you paint them or sculpt on them..... super useful when ur sculpting long hair, so you have the contures of the torso to sculpt around

You can use a sewing needle to get the broke peg out after you heat it up a bit....should come out fairly easy

Soak the wrist in boiled water. Not the hands ur going to put in or they will just bend.... If the peg is still long ur option is make whole a bit longer or trim the peg. I hugest making hole longer. But I've never co. E a cross my issue personally
