Hey guys,

First off, sorry for my english. I hope you'll understand me and I hope I can understand you too. :lol

I bought a NECA Dutch Schaefer with a broken hip from a guy who told me "he can stand fine with no problem, this is not a big deal". I trust him but unfortunately I was wrong...

The hip ball-joint was glued with some Cyanoacrylate glue (I think) or other type of glue but he does this like a pig.:mad: He put glue everywhere...

Here's the result :

I pay an excellent price but I don't really know I have to repair this guy myself.

So, I'm not afraid by working on it, I just need some advices from you guys.

Do you know how can I fix that hip without loosing the leg movements ? I would be very happy if I can make this very solid like a new one.

The ball-joint's working ok. Did you have some pictures of a NECA similar figure to see how the hip should be fixed to the body ?

If you have any ideas please let me know.

Again sorry for the almost horrible english. Thanks for your help.

Cheers. :)

I didn't move the leg too much for now but I think it'll be ok.

Hope it can help or something.

Cheers. :)
