NECA 1/4 Scale TMNT 1990's Turtles

Actually, I remember going to a toy store and being blown away by the details of the playmate movie figures in the early 90's.The texture, spots, and long bandanas were a real surprise and shockingly movie accurate at the time.
The playmate movie figures from a few years ago were a total disappointment tho.
The Movie Star figures were certainly a delight and one of the closest cases of a toy matching the movie for it?s time, no doubt, I loved them, had Mikey, Donnie, Splinter, Super Shredder and Toka & Razar. I remember even as a kid knowing Super Shredder wasn?t quite like the movie.
Playmates tried to recycle from their cartoon figures as much as possible and they just felt like alternate cartoon versions. Between the first releases being 1/4 scale and the first go of 7? being the expensive SDCC box set, I never imagined I?d own NECA, so glad for the GameStop deal, and looking forward to Shredder shipping.

should pose them like Batman crouching on the roof tops. i think there's a comic book cover that features that pose?

I had Donnie posted up high on a detolf. I thought his feet holes being secured to pegs on a custom base would be enough to hold him, but his ankles weakened over time and he tipped off the detolf. Here is the whole figure:
Here is the hip joint:
Here is the knee joint:
And a close up of the knee joint:

Your best bet is to do some reconstructive surgery. This isn't unfixable but it'll take some work.(Sorry for the late reply)

The idea is to replace those plastic pegs that snapped with metal screws. You'll want to drill out the old pegs and screw in some... screws... to replace them. You'll want the heads to fit into the old holes, so it takes some engineering and creativity, but it can be fixed.

Best solution is quality 3D print. I fixed my problem like that.

This is for leg joint. But you can get help for knee joint from someone who know 3D draw.
This is my friend's Leonardo (It is my cutom Slash now
). But he broke the leg accidently. He give up on him. He gave to me. I did 3 3d print he stand very well.

That's pretty awesome! Why not print out a bunch of these and sell those instead of the 3D file? My Raph is fine but I'd buy another hip just in case as I'm sure many others would as well.

Did you try going on twitter and sending Neca a message? They are actually pretty good lately with replacing my damaged or broken Neca
product. All I did was message their customer service, sent them a picture of the issues and they sent me a replacement.
I didn’t even have to send them back the broken figures in some situations
Oh wow. No. I will try that.
Edit: looks like they don?t receive messages there. I guess I could just tweet it and tag them.

Unfortunately that doesn?t make it much clearer. All he really says is to heat it with a hair dryer, but nothing about how to pop it apart or anything.

I try that. But it did down in a one week.
