Title: Figures compatible with 6 inch Black Series?
Post by: Athan5 on January 18, 2018, 08:52:17 PM
I bought this Ahsoka but it had a stressed left elbow peg and broke, and so I am left with an elbow with part of the peg stuck in it, and a ruined elbow joint in the forearm. I thought it would be a good chance to customize my figure, so I bought an incomplete ultimate spider woman from china  and used her arm to fix Ahsoka. But now I'm looking for a more mechanical arm, an echo to Vader's own arms. Any suggestions?

Hello Athan,

that's sad to hear! I also bought my 6" Ahsoka from an Asian seller (viperskingdom) on eBay.
It arrived in good condition, but another order (Luke Skywalker) arrived with a bent lightsaber - which I got straight again with hot water. So I made the same experience here.

My suggestion for your Ahsoka is to hold her upper arm into hot water for half a minute and try to get the rest of her broken joint out withtweezers or a needle. Then you can get out the second part of the joint out of the forearm the same way and glue it together. You can then make a mold of it and cast a new joint in plastic.
There are a few 6" figures that are compatible with Hasbro's Black Series - but unfortunately I cannot give you a specific example right now. I collected the 6" figures from Lord of the Rings from NECA/ToyBiz.

Hope that helped.
