WHO& #39;S A PRETTY LITTLE COSMIC BEASTY, THEN?

Picked up a loose and broken #Babylon5 Shadow Sentient action figure on eBay, shortly after winning a mint, carded one. It had 50% of its legs snapped off, and one of them is missing completely, so this will be a slow & creative repair!
Of his six legs, he had lost his rear and front right, and front left.

Some quick investigation suggested the legs I *have* are his rear right and front left, meaning the front right is missing. I will have to fabricate a replacement, probably using the front left as a guide.

Gave him a good wash, and left him overnight to dry.

I couldn& #39;t tell what the various pieces are made of - looks like maybe a hard, transparent plastic for the legs, which is painted metallic blue and heavily brushed black?

Regardless, I could re-attach the rear right leg now!

Tried a little dab of PlasticWeld, but it didn& #39;t interact with the plastic at all. Had to go for good, old fashioned superglue gel...

Very fiddly, and hard to hold steady. Decided to add a blob of putty to keep it still for an hour.
After it was dry, the bond was very strong - enough that I could even move the leg back and forth/up and down, on the original ball joint.

Only once he was upright and standing, did I notice that all the legs are different lengths. These toys were pretty badly designed https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😄" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit geöffnetem Mund und lächelnden Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit geöffnetem Mund und lächelnden Augen">
Taking a look at the front left leg, I& #39;ll need to make some decisions about how to fabricate a front right one... and I& #39;m open to suggestions... https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😆" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit geöffnetem Mund und fest verschlossenen Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit geöffnetem Mund und fest verschlossenen Augen">

It need not be perfect, but I reckon my main choices are 1) sculpting over a wire skeleton, or 2) press-moulding an exact copy?
