Enterbay/KOTOBUKIYA ELVIS PRESLEY ’68 COMEBACK SPECIAL

[Dollmanron]

To whoever has bought one of these, I just got one and right out of the box the bottom black plastic sewed on snap is broken on his jacket. The little nipple of one half is gone, the seller has a return policy, but it will cost $20 or more to send it back for an exchange (if he'll even do it). So what I was wondering is if these little plastic snaps are sold in craft stores or some place I can buy them myself and just replace it myself and save me and the seller some money and hassle.

I'm not looking at an Elvis as I write this, so I'm just guessing that it has the standard snaps on just about every figure these days. The ones you can buy at a sewing supplier like JoAnne are a size too big. Look online for Dritz for Dolls Sew-On Snaps, size 5/0. Minidolls carries some under "Tools," but it doesn't say if they're Dritz. The Dritz ones are brass, painted with black enamel. The plastic ones, if they don't break, usually end up with a bent pin.

There's an auction (not mine) right now with what you need: https://www.ebay.com/itm/DRITZ-DOLLS-12-BLACK-SEW-ON-SNAPS-SIZE-5-0-TINY-USE-INVISIBLE-THREAD

I think were the bottom of the jacket buttoned across the pants it was to much of a strain on the little pin and broke it off. Or it may never have been on there at all I don't know, but I'll probably send it back and hope the seller sends another, worse case at least my money back.
Thanks.
