figure broken, help?

[Deleted]

Okay my elite Chavo Guerrero's arm suddenly became extremely loose, like, where it could break off. I really have no idea what to do since I haven't encountered this issue before does anyone have any ideas? Help would be GREATLY appreciated

If it's on the verge then there's really not much that I know of to do. I wouldn't recommend trying to replace him since he's a nice chunk of change now, but I would say that he needs to be retired to a display only piece, like the Roddy Piper I have that's leg is almost snapped off. I don't touch him and he's doing fine. Maybe somebody on here like a customizer will know a trick. It might involve frankensteining this figure by cracking a torso or something. I wouldn't have the nerve.

Really? How much does he run? My TRU had one last time I checked and it has been rotting there. Does he count for the HHH promo? If my TRU still has it and he counts for the promo I would be willing to pick him up and sell him for shelf cost + shipping.

he doesn't, its only elite series 12 and higher. I'm thinking about taking the arm off and trying to make the hole that the peg goes into smaller somehow, although i dont know how to do that

Fiddlesticks. I have no idea how to help about fixing the arm but I am willing to bet the custom makers around here know how to help you out.

How the mighty have fallen. I just checked the sold items from the past 30 days on Ebay, and he doesn't go as high anymore. Right around retail, it looks. I remember a few months back some sellers had him as high as 40 dollars. I don't know if the figures have just finally reached their peak and are coming down, but even an Elite 11 CM Punk doesn't go for what it used to.

And on the other hand Vladimir Kozlov has spiked. I've been following his Elite prices over a month now, and can't find one much cheaper than 30 dollars loose, which sucks because he used to be cheap and I need him to complete my collection.

Is there actual damage or is it just loose?

The older elite ones that are good gets are Batista, Jericho and Goldust along with DX.
