Leg joint by the crotch? That's almost broken. Unless your willing try and crack the torso and crotch are to replace the ball joints. ( no pun intended). But you risk breaking it if ou try to crack the torso. So there's nothing to loose. Google or you tube cracking mattel elite torso and crotch

If you feel confident cracking the torso and crotch off, I could probably find a spare piece that goes inside the crotch. If you could take a picture of the figure and the joint I can look and see. Its way easier with the newer style of hip joints. |

I spent 3 months trying to figure out a fix to this problem. Take a very small drill bit and drill into the peg that broke, both on the leg and the crotch. Get a small paneling nail and cut off the head. Apply a small amout of superglue to the hole in the peg of the crotch then insert the nail half way. Once this is dry, repeat the process by attaching the leg to the nail. Once dry, you will have full articulation again.

I know this thread is 8 years old, but just wanted to say this process works REALLY well. I had my Dusty Rhodes elite fall and his leg broke off at the crotch peg. Doing the process mentioned above made the leg seem like it was never broken.

To add to what was said earlier, here is a video showing how to do so.
