The neck on my Yavin Luke broke when I swapped the head for the ANH Luke sculpt to take pictures... I have heard people say once the neck adapted comes off its game over...
But I have done it. With much planning, perseverance, and patience I was able t bring the neck ring up, stick one half of the neck adapted over it glue it, and stick the other half of the neck adapter on. The glue has dried and it is as sturdy as it ever was.
This body is no longer a Buck body....
It is the LAZARUS BODY!!!

Way to go Marc!!! :rock :rock :rock I wish I had patience when it came to things like that. :lol :lol My McLeod still has a broken neck. :(

Nice. I've never even tried it. Once the neck broke the body became custom fodder to me.

I had to do it once when a figure I was customizing broke... it was the only body I had available and didn't want to wait a week for a new one.

i'm just happy I was able to explain it... I imagine if we ever have to do it again it will be a lot easier, first time took nearly 1 1/2 hours :lol

You're a better man that I. I've had a few break, but I'm far too lazy to go to that much trouble.

I did that once too back in March. It was a real pain, but it worked. Trick is My custom Comissoner Gordon is on the Lazarus body too. Didn't realize nobody had done it before.
I guess us Utahns are just too stubbern to let our figures die :lol
Here is a little sketch I drew after I did it incase it ever happened again and I needed to fix another:

We Utahns are cheaper than most, I think is the reason. :lol
And that drawing looks kinda obscene. :horror

I love how Bannister's sig looks like he he signed it and then forgot and signed it again. If he had done it in blue and red ink it would have been in 3-D!!! :lol

I had to do the same thing last week Marc, when I got my Bespin Luke in, I was futzing with him and was gonna put him on an HT body like I did with Jedi Luke and SNAP!!!! Off came the neck :( I was pissed. I had to snap the neck in half, reasemble the spring & plate thingy, put one half of the neck around the plat, use some tweezers to hold the plat/spring up while I put the other half of the neck on and glued them together :google
The whole process too forever and drove me f'n mad, but I got it back together.
congrats Marc, I know what you went through and it sux ***!!!

I think DML's necks have a smiliar construction...I had to repair one of those once by splitting it at the seams, putting everything back in place, and then gluing the halves back together. Complete pain in the butt, although it worked.
