Hi I just pulled my second Family Guy blind box and it's the second figure who's arm falls off. The first one I pulled was Stewie, and his arm fell off in the package. I was kind of bummed :( Then today (a week or so later) I pulled Death (AWESOME) and HIS arm was off too :( Do all of their arms come off? I can't seem to put his sicle in because it causes his arm to fall off. How can I fix it without wrecking the figure?

Depending on where you bought it you can return them for Blind Boxes. If you got them from KR website there's a procedure to fill out.

I had a head problem with futurama figures and thats how i resolved it.

Now since you pulled death I would recommend returning Stewie and contacting customer support re Death... should that fail go to a vinyl art store and get the appropriate glue and fix death....

I'd also post this in the DIY areas as many artists on here are very helpful....also you could PM one of the boardies that does customs, hopefully u get this fixed, cuz Pulling a death is pretty epic me friend

Awesome thank you! Could you possibly link the DIY posts, I'm brand new to this forum thing so I'm not sure where to even look :P And yes! I was extremely happy to pull Death, I will not be returning him whatsoever<3 :)

HOLD ON!!! lol. its okay that the arm fell off. Just stik them right back in. If you wanted to you can pop off the head to. its no biggie. the sockets and such are designed that way so the figures can be easily put together (and taken apart for custominzing ;) )

You can even have fun and see what a character head would look like on another body ha ha. Very fun to do with my street fighter extras waiting to be killed for customs

Thank you guys! The thing is that it isn't fitting properly into the socket, and that's what's confusing me. I know that the parts can come out but when put back in, even the slightest movement knocks them out :( I contacted Kidrobot about Death, and the guy said that if he were in my shoes he'd totally glue it. I do display my kidrobot figures (which I only have 16 because I just started my collection about 2 months ago, maybe a bit less) so I mean I guess I could just keep them as is, and if I find that little movements such as walking across my room (I live in an old house :P) causes it to fall off I could always glue it :) Now is there really a difference between Vinyl Toy glue and regular super glue or other high strength glue?

first let me see a picture of the socket. since i dont own family guy i have no idea what they look like. i assume they are the same as street fighter or the mascots but i might be wrong.

To add a picture upload it to a image hosting site such as photobucket or flickr and paste the image code here
