Super7 Ultimates QC and other things rant

 I unfortunately got hit with Super7 QC on a spare Alice I got from eBay. Getting her out of the package, her right leg fell off. Broke at the crotch. She was meant to be turned into a MuTeens Tribble. 
Yes I am fucked, shit out of luck, looking for tutorials on how to reattach balljoint pegs. Have to buy pliers and a small drill bit. Warm up her leg to pop the ball joint off to see if I can graft a metal post inside the joint and epoxy them together or something. 

It sucks because it's a $55 discontinued figure... So, it sucks if one breaks... I've had 2 so far... well 3, but Krang I could fix... speaking of Krang: I'm looking for alternatives to Super7's Krang. Either a Vintage Krang or a Loyal Subjects Krang... this brings me to the next rant.

With Playmates making demands and forcing Super7 to pad the line with 2003, I'm worried about Vintage. I had bought a WWE Superstars Alexa Bliss to use as a body base for a stand in figure, but the soft goods skirt only fits the Alice body...

Fuckdammit! Now I have to get Two Alices and some sculpting Material to make a Tribble and a Just in case Irma... and that is a problem. Until NECA does a Single carded Irma that I could buy 2 of, I'm Shit out of Luck. So, I need to prepare to take matters in my own hands and make shitty customs.  But it's not just Irma, no... I may have to be preemptively getting parts for say, Pizzaface, Zach the 5th Turtle, Carter, etc. 

We don't know where Super7 will go to. They Lost Dosney and Simpsons. Star Trek looks like 
 

So, we also had Power Rangers having figures canned... you see where I'm going with this. With preorders to Puerto Rico getting raped on shipping, it feels like My time with S7 might come to an end. Let me make this clear. It's not by MY hand that this is likely to happen. But by Super7's shipping issues and QC snafus... ordering whole waves via sites like EE, BBTS, etc. Is not optimal as I don't have an option to PAY NOW. 

Better try to lift my spirits with some theoretical lists.
