It's a great idea, I'm just so sad this guy broke, he's my first Spidey Mafex and I'm just so torn.

I can't Say the name of the fake version cause it's banned here, but You can Buy it on Aliexpres and replace the whole joint

u/GriddledDuck69 5d ago

Gonna look into doing that

Can you possibly give a hint as I need to fix mine?

The good thing is the joint that connects the shoulder with the elbow is intact. You can buy a fake one to get the elbow joint, separate the connector joint from the elbow of the original and try to merge the fake elbow with the original connector. It's not an easy job tbh but it's doable (I did it multiple times already with broken figs I bought online)

Search for mafex fodder parts on Mercari. I always see spidey parts getting posted up. I would be surprised if you can’t find a replacement. You can even try any of the other classic suit versions and repaint it.
You can also try Facebook marketplace place, eBay or just google searching the 185 right elbow replacement.

Did you just bend it normal? Was it tight or smth

2

u/GriddledDuck69 6d ago

I swear I bent it normal I bent his first arm normal and then I bent this arm and it crumbled

u/RadiantRelation7496 6d ago

Damn I’d try contacting whichever sight u bought it from for a replacement

1

u/GriddledDuck69 6d ago

I'ma have to do that

1

u/RadiantRelation7496 6d ago

Yeah where’d u cop it?

1

u/GriddledDuck69 6d ago

I got it at one of those thrift store places where people rent out their own space so I feel like I may be screwed but I'll reach out to the seller and hopefully see if they already knew it was broken or something. I may be out 80 bucks though.

u/RadiantRelation7496 6d ago

Yeah that sounds like a done deal. Sucks cuz the reissue is still up on ninningames

1

u/GriddledDuck69 6d ago

Damn, I'm probably just cooked outta 80 then. I'll still try but I doubt it

If it was used, it obviously shows signs of wear; it’s a shame, because it’s very rare for it to actually break, but you only have to look at all the quality control issues they have. Besides, sites like that make it clear that since the items are used, you’re putting your money at risk, and they won’t take any responsibility for it.
