I love when people share their knowledge like this. Great video. Awesome music too. I normally hate music in videos but this would be an exception. Great stills too
@@godmd , good to know that! :) The only problem is that NECA`s plastic tend to disintegrate over time, making this not the perfect solution. If there is any.
No problem, glad to help you :) Lone Trooper was one of my favourite tracks on TS album. I don`t know why I added this track to this video, tho. I hope it fits, haha.
I got a neca aliens Cpl Dwayne Hicks today and it broke at the elbow, right out of the package....this works, I used only one wire cause the elbow is small and I put some JBWeld on both ends of the wire........thanks for the video.
I recently picked up the Ultimate Michael Myers figure from Halloween (2018) and the peg that is supposed to be connected to a ball hinge at the end of his forearm broke off in his hand. Normally this would be an easy fix but what makes it even harder to fix is that the broken off peg is completely stuck in his hand and won't come out. I've tried tweezers, exacto-knives, and large needles to try and yank it out but it won't budge. Normally I would try just have to say goodbye to that point of articulation and permanently glue his hand in place, but in this instance I'm not sure how exactly I should go about fixing this since he comes with extra interchangeable hands that I would like to be able to switch out for different poses and weapons. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Oh, bummer! But it happned to me too, just with the Raiden figure from Mezco. What I did was that I used a small hand drill (about 0,5 mm) to make some holes into the peg. When there were enough of them, plastic started to fall apart. Then I used some thongs and pulled the remaining parts out. Let me know if it could be done with yours too.
Hi thanks to your video i did a similare repair un the new ultimate edtion alien warrior, i broke hise arme after i wanted to pose him, so i buyed some nails cut the head of, drilled a hole on both sides, heated the parts and squezed it thogeter, now he is posable again, if the joints would do there job, they suposed to do, becose hes mixed with lose or stiff joints, and three days later i just broke his tail now XD
Hoping this works on my TF2 Soldier figure. His knee almost broke and I'm afraid to do so much as to even touch the thing because I know he'll break. Sucks no one else is gonna make them in fully articulated form. Randy whatshisface along with the Beavis and Butthead who assemble the things are awful at making figures. Hoping they either listen to their consumers or leave the company. None of my other figures have been as defective as my NECA figures.
I totally agree. Not every NECA figure is bad in terms of quality, but lots of them are. Plastic joints seem to be prone to "fatique" and after a while they break for no reason. There is a lot of NECA bootlegs these days, that look like originals but the quality is much worse.
@@T0m0zuki Yeah, my BLU Heavy from the same series has a load of loose joints. The knees, elbows, and the grips of his one hand can hardly hold his minigun. Thank god for the shotgun hands. Brittle plastic, fatigue, paint chipping, NECA may as well change their name to DECA (Defective Entertainment Collectibles Association), though I have seen functional NECA figures. And I definitely know for a fact that bootlegs are never as good as the official product. I've seen counterfeit S.H.Figuarts Dragon Ball figures (and a few knockoff NECAs) and they all suffer from some form of loose joints, bad paint, and/or toxic materials.
This afternoon, my 18" NECA Alien action figure toppled over from the top of my bookcase and fell on the floor. Now the central joint (connecting upper and lower torsos) is broken and the steel pin (or is it just a piece of stiff wire?) has come out. Can this be repaired?
+avix007 Hm, good question. Honestly, I don` know as I haven`t dealt with that kind of joint yet. Everything can be repaired to some point, although It may not be as it used to be... :(
I have the exact same 18" Xenomorph from the first "Alien" movie with the exact same problems this guy mentioned about the central joint connecting the torso and legs is broken and pin exposed. please help! I have been wanting to fix it for so long!
Sorry for a late reply. I don`t know how to deal with it but I guess both side screw would do the job. Drill the hole in the leg part and then in the ball joint of the torso and put the screw inbetween.
To be honest, this alien from the video just fell apart on multiple joints later on. Feet broke off, knees too, even the razor blades on the hands did. Details are amazing to this day, but the choice of plastics was just beyond bad.
hey dude wassup and my arcade pink style warrior alien i opened from the box had a problem with its tongue, i carefully pulled it out and it came all the way out please help on to fix it
Hm, I haven`t dealt with that yet. But I`d add a rubber ball on the back side of it. Like a pencil rubber maybe. Drill a small hole on the back side of the tongue and screw the rubber on it. This should prevent the tongue from falling out but you could move it back and forth. Hope it helps?
Hm, probably not. Try with a small screw that can be screwed into both ways. But make sure you drill the hole first otherwise the plastic will fall appart.
If it is the same typ of a joint, it should work without a problem. I will also make a video, how to repair a ball joint since the elbow on my Elder Predator has broken off too. At first I tried to repair them with glue but to no avail.
Hm, good question. I haven`t dealt with that yet but I guess you should find a screw and tip the nut off, so you can screw it on both sides of the plastic body.
It was usable because it held well together (didn't just pop out). But the problem was that plastic became fragile over time (on multiple joints), so the figure just broke apart alltogether. Poor choice of Neca's plastic material.
Hey :) As far as I know, tail is bendable, right? I guess resin substance gets a bit old after some time and if you move the tail too much it may crack on some points. I don`t have a solution right now, but I guess you could repair it using super glue or hot glue and then remove excess glue with a knife or sand paper. Extra paint might be required.
@@T0m0zuki hey bud I have a question I got a neca ultimate alien warrior and I had to fix the arm and leg but now the part that holds the legs together is a little bit lose and won't close around the other leg got tips?
I love when people share their knowledge like this. Great video. Awesome music too. I normally hate music in videos but this would be an exception. Great stills too
Much appreciated!
@@T0m0zuki dude does this also help fix broken limbs on neca jaeger figures from pacific rim
@@godmd , good to know that! :) The only problem is that NECA`s plastic tend to disintegrate over time, making this not the perfect solution. If there is any.
@@T0m0zuki ok I understand but can you please do a video on how to fix broken neca pacific rim jaeger figures on the arm or leg
@@godmd , sorry, don`t have one. :(
Thanks for the help. Also, love the "Lone Trooper" track

pretty smart, good video
Thank you. But ... The plastic starts to disintegrate over time and it is not a very long term solution.

Hey dude how do you take apart peg and hing joint
The join by the hip of my neca action figure broke :((
At less the Alien had a bubby to stay up during the surgery leg repair, good for them.

Haha, very durable :D Did you buy a Chinese KO or the original figure? It is hard to distinguish between them.
@@T0m0zuki he came from Big Bad Toys Store :)
Because i want to make a adaptation to my spike

Neca figures are ridiculously fragile. I just had the stinger section of my Mantis alien snap off falling a few inches from one shelf to the next.

Ankle, knee or hip joint?
sup how do you fix neca alien warrior hip joint
Hey! Sorry, I haven`t had that kind of a problem yet... :/
My neca alien has a foot that broke off. I guess this won't work, right?
Hm, probably not. Try with a small screw that can be screwed into both ways. But make sure you drill the hole first otherwise the plastic will fall appart.

Almost at the base of the tail and a split formed how do i fix
Did the tail fall off?
i fixed after 5 tries
Cool, I`m glad to hear it!
You need a docter.
hey dude how do you fix a fracture in the crouch joint holding the legs together
Hm, good question. I haven`t dealt with that yet but I guess you should find a screw and tip the nut off, so you can screw it on both sides of the plastic body.
Ok
Can anyone exlplain how the joint would be still be usable? Surely if you moved it the wire would pop out or just snap?
It was usable because it held well together (didn't just pop out). But the problem was that plastic became fragile over time (on multiple joints), so the figure just broke apart alltogether. Poor choice of Neca's plastic material.
Because the wire is exposed i was just going to take the dog aliens tail off
Hey dude do you know the color of the alien blood
Reuben Harlan No, not specifically. I'd mix it on my own by the movie references.
What do you do with your neca xenos
Reuben Harlan Some are displayed, some are in unopened boxes. For possible trading in future and so.
No like the plastic was ripping
for me its classic predator masked 's leg ,
Hey do you know how to fix little splits in the plastic on a neca alien tail?
Hey :) As far as I know, tail is bendable, right? I guess resin substance gets a bit old after some time and if you move the tail too much it may crack on some points. I don`t have a solution right now, but I guess you could repair it using super glue or hot glue and then remove excess glue with a knife or sand paper. Extra paint might be required.
@@T0m0zuki is there a flexible adhesive?, Could you do a video on this is can?
@@jester_420 Hm, good question. I don`t have any broken tail right now which could be repaired. My best guess would be epoxy.
@@T0m0zuki hmm okay but got tips on not stressing the plastic on the tail
@@T0m0zuki hey bud I have a question
I got a neca ultimate alien warrior and I had to fix the arm and leg but now the part that holds the legs together is a little bit lose and won't close around the other leg got tips?
How do I fix snaped wrist joint ?
Oh, I haven`t done that one yet. :( The easiest way would probably be with a printer.
@@T0m0zuki alright thanks
I don't know what happened i didn't work it that much
Reuben Harlan If you have a silicone that can be melted, pour it in.
could you make a video on it?
Sorry, I got no figure with broken (unfunctional) secondary jaw that could serve as a "role model".
Ok but when it happens make video
Reuben I hope it doesn't but will do if it happens.

Hey dude my dog xenos tail broke in two
Really? How could that be? It is made of rubber, isn`t it?
will this on work on a predator ?
myname5231 Don't know. My predators are all in good condition. If I manage to break one by accident, I'll do a video.
