Again, I don't know if this is the right forum for this question, but here goes. I have Masterpiece Skywarp. The horizontal stabilizers are attached to the figure via clips which allow the stabilizers to be rotated depending on whether he is in robot mode or jet mode. One of the clips broke, so I cannot attach the stabilizer. I lost the piece that broke off. I'm wondering if there is a way to repair this, hopefully that will allow the piece to still rotate. Thanks!

Really, I don't know of a way to fix that, myself. Maybe one of the big name modders could help, but it's a vry fragile figure to begin with, and I'd lay odds on any fix being one that either prevents it from rotating, or being extremely 'fiddly' and complex.

The only thing I can think of right now is gluing a wire in place of the missing part. Maybe a twisty tie.

Yeah, if it wasn't for the $$$, I'd have simply said "Look for a junker on Ebay and snatch the tail fin from that." But I doubt there is one of THAT figure.

I've just re-read your post. The clip broke on the figure, not the strip on the fin. Damn, my idea won't work. Two or three pieces of wire bent into U-shapes and inserted in the body should work. Very fiddly.
