It's tedious but- hot straight pins
Here's a radical method to save the most abused and under-engineered piece of the TTQB- the ankle. It supports the weight of the player's thumb, and provides the force for kicks.
Bear in mind TTQB plastic is softer than the regular figure plastic.
Some years ago, I encountered the same problem. I solved it by-
1. Heating a straight pin as hot as it can get
2. Sticking the hot pin into the TTQB from the bottom up into the ankle.
3. It will take a few "stabs" to get this right. Heat the heck out of the pin before each attempt. Use pliers and keep a steady grip. View the needle to verify it clears the ankle.
4. Clip off the excess with diagonal cutters as close as you can. Slap a base on the bottom.
5. Fire at will.
