R2-D2 and C3-PO were my frist Star Wars toys in 1977. Both now have very little crome left on them...... But I still love them both.

I never actually liked the clicker despite R2 being one of my favourite childhood toys. I don't know what it was, but it was like that serling crawling sensation people get with nails on a blackboard, touching polystyrene, that sort of thing.

I have the tiny clicker bit of one of mine in a bag somewhere as I could never figure out how to re attach it due to it being the very definition of a fiddly bit, ( possibly plastic weld or superglue) This is a great alternative fix
@toypolloi
Жыл бұрын
It would be hard to reattach the broken piece as the join would be so weak and to make it click it has a lot of force applied. So I'm not sure if it's even possible.

If you had looked inside the body you may well have found the broken piece down one side, since there is no way for it to fall out.

Does the sensor scope clicker ring fit into the solid dome version ? If the plastic is better quality in the sensor scope version and less likely to break, providing it`ll fit in the solid dome version it makes sense to just swap them out if you have a beyond repair sensor scope figure but the clicker ring is in good condition you could just pop it into the solid dome.

Can't say I have tried. I would imagine the sensorscope version will fit in a solid done, but not the other way around.

you aren't using superglue correctly unless at least one finger gets glued to something.
