Might help the figure with standing but not sure how that can prevent the part from breaking ^^;.

Alright! I’ll order the glue, and I’ll let you know how it goes. (>”)>

WHile not the same brand, the first option was what i used to fix the problem. I think that bottle up there looks more promising though. I don’t think the legs are intended to be removed in the first place but even with the fix, it can still come loose by chance simply because when you snap the leg in, it will cause that little tear again. You have to slip it in just before it dries completely (so it doesn’t break again) since putting it too early, and the plastic is not even bonding. It’s not enjoyable at all and at worst, not a guarantee fix.

Thanks for the speedy reply!

Alright, well I’ve been looking around. Which do you think would be better?

Liquid Cement For Plastics 1.15oz: Amazon.com: Toys & Games

Both of these say fast dry, though, so I don’t know if they’ll be good enough.

And about this:
“you tried slipping the leg in then it’ll crack”
Does this mean that I can’t wait for a fix to fully dry before I attach it? Do I need to try to insert it sometime while it is drying? Does also this mean that if I manage to put the leg back into the main body, it will no longer be removable? Not that I particularly want to remove it, but I hope the fix doesn’t become too fragile.

oh man… i apologize for not seeing some of the comments on this blog. Easy to overlook even when I set up the “recent blurbs” to remedy that exact problem ^^;

anyway, I forgot the name of the stuff as i don’t have it anymore. it’s a cement that melts the plastic together as opposed to sticking them together. It will require some cussing and a lot of patience since you have to time things just right and the damn thing takes forever to cure. Once it cured, you tried slipping the leg in then it’ll crack. If you slip it in too early, then the split will still be there and it’ll just come right off again (of course, there is no way to actually close the split tightly after you put the leg in). This is why the leg is soooo impractically designed. I believe your other hope would be cyano glue (stronger than krazy glue)

I hope they email notify you of comments on old blog posts. >.> I’m having the same problem as the guy two posts above. The clip in knee part for the God Gundam, on both legs, is almost fallen out, out of the box. They’re hanging on by a bit. I’ve never owned anything figure related before, so how should I glue it back together? I know nothing about what kind of glue to use, how exactly I should apply it, how I should clamp it to dry, or anything else at all. Please help; I really do love these figures. @_@

I can see your God Gundam had a problem with its knee`s too , same spot as well , and i see that you glued it back together , PLEASE tell me what glue you used, my God Gundam is just laying on its back looking like the mafia took out his knees.
