Figure Peg Won't Fit the Base? Stop Before Forcing It

If a figure's peg will not fit its base, first check orientation and part identity. More pressure is not a substitute for the correct alignment. Stop if the connection resists unexpectedly, a part flexes sharply or the instructions do not match what you received.

Confirm the matching components

Compare the base, feet and pegs with the assembly diagram. Check whether the figure has a particular insertion angle or an additional support that must be fitted first. Make sure the base belongs to the same product version.

Look for packaging still covering a connection, an obvious obstruction or shipping damage. Do not cut, drill or sand a peg to make it fit before contacting support about a new item.

Support the right areas

Work on a clear stable surface and hold the substantial parts identified in the instructions. Avoid pushing through thin ankles, hair, swords or decorative effects. Move slowly enough to notice resistance before it becomes damage.

Crunchyroll's base-fitting guide emphasizes alignment and gentle handling. Use guidance appropriate to your exact product rather than transferring a repair technique to an unrelated material or design.

Ask with useful photographs

Photograph the peg, receiving hole and intended alignment separately. Include a wider view and the product name. Explain whether the connection is too tight, too loose or appears to be the wrong shape.

For a Super Saiyan Sphere order, send those details through the contact page. Keep all packaging and parts until the question is resolved. A clear description of the mismatch makes it easier to distinguish assembly confusion from an incorrect or damaged component.
