    As we know, this figure uses a lot of brittle brown plastic in the arms and legs, and those parts shatter with even the most gentle of handling.

    Has anyone made or heard of printed replacements that are stronger? I'm not sure if printed parts would be suitable for this application, but they've got to be better than the GPS plastic.

    I'm thinking of carving replacements out of... something, possibly balsa wood dowels, but that'll be a pretty sketchy fix.

    Thanks!

    I think printed replacements would be the best way to go. If you can get the old parts out relatively intact, it would be pretty easy for someone to recreate them. The other alternative would be to look for similar pieces from a different figure and modding those to fit in place of the brown ones.
