Can someone help me fix the joint on this doll? (Nendoroid) -- FIXED!

[banditpony]

Thank you so much for helping me fix my Gumi  I know you all know this but the arena is full of so many amazing people.

I've tried getting replacement parts, but apparently not all nendoroids have the same tummy joint. I don't want to waste any more money with that. And a full replacement is too expensive. My husband said he'd help me but she's been sitting her for over a year and I'm kind of at a loss.

I know it shouldn't be too hard to do, I just don't have the equipment.

Which Nendoriod is she? I haven't collected them in a while so I'm out of the loop on most nowadays.  What does the broken part look like? I might have a spare part for it, I'll look after work tonight.

Broken girl is Gumi. I've pictured broken part.

The peg totally broke off her hips.

It's supposed to look like the left one (Append Miku).
And then some are opposite (Cheer Miku). I think it's even thicker too O_o;

I hope this second picture helps! Sorry it's not the best, I'm trying to keep a squirmy toddler under control. X_X.

Maybe you can just glue it? Is the simplet option that came to my mind, I never own a Nendroid  I know they have change parts so you can change their looks, but gluing it to their original part maybe work.

Glue by itself isn't strong enough. Some sort of metal piece needs to be drilled in for stability.

Well, now that is just the kind of thing I would love to work on.

In that case, go to your local hardware store and get a very small double sided screw that will fit.make the holes for both, then put glue in before screwing it into one side and then screwing it into the other.

^^ with the kiddo, and work, I don't quite have time for it. It's like I'm drowning in an ocean and I can't even keep up on the tasks I have to do. I just want to display her... That's why I'm reaching out for help
