Wow, thanks for the lightning-fast responses, guys!
scalawag, thanks so much for offering to help -- here is a pic of the type in question. They are the longer, more slender sort in comparison to the Hot Toys or Sideshow pegs.
And thank you so much,
GF, I had no idea the Soldier Story ones were the same, that's very useful info! I appreciate the links as well.... sometimes I tend to forget about actual stores, lol. The main one in the US I'm familiar with is Monkey Depot, but they were all sold out of DamToys pegs atm. So generally I tend to just look on ebay. But sometimes knowing what words to look up is half the battle... I always forget that they are sometimes called 'pins' as well! Thank you!
The only downside to ordering from the US is the cost of shipping. I don't mind waiting for things...goodness knows I have waited long enough to do this particular figure, so another couple weeks isn't a huge deal. But eek...the shipping prices for such small and otherwise inexpensive items is still so frustrating, no matter how many times I've had to deal with it. :/
And re: Damtoys bodies, I only have one male DamToys body -- just a random narrow-shouldered one I picked up off ebay a while back -- but it seems to be quite good quality, and especially useful for a figure that has lots of layers of clothing and/or armour. So, yeah, it works for well enough for me. : )
And
blackpool, so kind of you to offer! will PM you. : )
