[Want to Buy] Loose NECA Don

ScratchTheHotSpot · 01-06-2011, 11:38 AM

Hi everyone, I'm looking to buy a loose, NECA Donatello (colored), preferably with the removable hands.. I just need the figure, as mine has just broken on me, whilst I was twisting the leg...

pretty gutted...

I might consider a sealed one at a decent price.

Let me know by pm.

Thanks all.

Don't throw the broken one away! Make a custom, with a robotic leg. It is Donatello after all.

See THIS for inspiration.

Thanks for the link, thats one radical Donny custom. Is that something from one of the comics? Im strictly a vintage cartoon / toy guy, and have never turned a page of a tmnt comic in my life!

I was thinking of super glueing his leg and turning him into a statue of some sort.. I think a full repair is unlikely because its at the ball joint at the top of the leg. And the 'contact patch' whatever you wanna call it, is pretty small. From my experience as a kid, repaired toys were never the same...

So I think a statue is the way for me to go, if I wanna salvage something... I might try out my chrome paint I just bought, and spray him all over, make it like those 5th aniversary Leos..?

You BROKE the NECA Don I sold you? I had him for years and no problems. Odd.

Honestly, just buy a Mikey and switch the heads.

@CJJ Yeah it was the one you sold me.. The twisting joint in the leg was just real stiff, and I was abit too force-ful with it, and it ended up snapping. Can't remember if it was that bad when I bought it, but that part is real fragile though, now I can see how it was molded..

@jester I dunno how to take the heads off the neca figures, I didn't know it could easily be done.. I've given it a good pull, but they seem to be pretty secure.

EDIT : With abit more determination, I finally popped his head off.

So I'm looking for a loose Don or Mike.
