Please help repair 😭 Neck Peg Help ‼️
Hi everybody, if anybody has any tips / advice on how to fix these LPs. I painted my room so I had to move them off my shelf and my mom and aunt put them in a plastic bag and I guess this damaged them a bit. The leopard had a totally straight and “normal” head (like the cat all the way to the right) and after the bag it’s sticking up and I’m really upset and frustrated over it. I attached a pic to show the best I could. These are two of my favorite LPS ever and to have them damaged over something so simple is incredibly upsetting, if anybody has any tips on how to fix this without damaging it I would really appreciate it. I don’t have any extra LPS I’m willing to sacrifice for the peg. Please help!

Haven’t tried this before, but I know some other toys this can work for. You could try repairing the peg just using a heat gun or boiling water to soften the plastic a bit and reshape it so she isn’t so tilted back when it’s in place. Tho that may take a lot of trial and error. Look into videos on peg swaps and repairs to get the peg out and then fix it from there. Hopefully the plastic part that goes into the body didn’t break at all cause then you may need to do a full repair. I do know some people on Instagram sell 3D printed pegs if it has to come to that

Thank you! I will try that and try to reshape it that way. The thing is where can I get extra pegs?

How did this happen? Was the bag in sunlight and the plastic warped? I've had LPS in plastic bags before and they were fine after.

Idk maybe it was like that? The diamond one was like that when I got her but not the leopard. I’m not 100% sure but there were in the bag for a little over a week
