promethuem5 Posted April 8, 2006 Posted April 8, 2006 Hi all, I finally managed to break off one of those small round pegs that hold the entire torso together on my Koenig Monster. Has anyone else replaced the pegs with something more durable? I am going to have to, but I want to do it right and was wondering if anyone else has fixed this problem... and if they could help me with some details like the rod diameter of their replacement, and maybe some shots of their finished product. Thanks guys! Quote

promethuem5 Posted April 9, 2006 Author Posted April 9, 2006 I've probably got the right size rod... it's just the fact that I don't really want to do it... Quote
myk Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 Well, how are you going to secure it into the hole? Some kind of epoxy, or something? Quote
promethuem5 Posted April 10, 2006 Author Posted April 10, 2006 I'm thinking that after I drill out the holes, I can fill the rear of the hole (which is accessible) with Green Stuff putty and superglue, effectively making the pin mounted into a whole solid piece instead of just through the wall.

easnoddy Posted June 3, 2006 Posted June 3, 2006 Any update on this thread? I just broke both pegs off mine. I superglued both and left it in gerwalk. Then I picked it up today (like a week later), pulled the body apart and the pegs stayed in the holes. I got one out but the other will take some work. I'll try the metal rods but would certainly prefer something more solid like a nail. However, I don't want it to be a hazard for scratching the toy up. I guess I will use a nail though. Quote
promethuem5 Posted June 3, 2006 Author Posted June 3, 2006 I actually never did it.... It's on my to-do list...holds together alright in Gerwalk mode wtih only one peg Quote
