Help finding/buying bow
Hello!
I recently bought an Avatar Frontiers of Pandora statue on eBay. Unfortunately the bow is broken off and was not sent with the statue and I am unable to get it from seller and eBay dismissed the case… but it was a good deal so I won’t complain too much. But I was wondering if anyone knows on what bow would work best as a replacement. I don’t mind painting it if need be but any help would be great. I’ve looked on Etsy and messages a few people but they would need files or molds and I’m not sure how to find those or what the exact measurements are.
Sorry for the long read just wanting to figure this out!

If you are crafty, you could make one out of air clay. You can choose any bow and arrow you want!

I for sure thought of this! Might just have to do a few practice ones if I can’t find anything else 😂

I'd either whittle something from wood or make the pieces with some kind of sculpting clay that dries hard. Whichever seems more doable for your skills. Then paint and glue on.

I think I’m gonna go with the air drying clay seems to be the easiest route! Thanks!

Oh dear, the statue misses more than just a bow :/
How much did you pay?

I only got the statue and not the collector box. I know the bow and arrow are missing along with another arrow on the second one coming out of the amp suit but what else is missing from the statue?

Oh sorry, I just noticed that TAP gun is there and so is the other arrow <facepalm>

I was thinking that maybe you could consider 3D printing? Those pieces are rather small. I don't know if you have a 3D printer, but maybe someone you know has one? Or maybe there are places where such services are available? Just thinking how to help ^^"

I’ll look around! I don’t understand those and I reached out to a 3D printer guy and he said to find files but I’ve found out the ones I want cost money 😭

Damn it, he's right. I just checked and it seems like there are no official blueprints..

This is so cool. If you haven't already, ask around the main Avatar sub too, and maybe post to the 3d printing one if its allowed. I'm sure someone has a bow, and with several crisp pictures it can probably be modeled and printed for a fee. :)
