repair advice

Not sure if this is the best place for the thread, but here goes.

I bought a Sideshow Exclusive TMNT Michelangelo from Sideshow last year, and it sat safely in its box until last week, when I finally decided to bring it out to play. Last night, my girlfriend's cat did some climbing where it most definitely shouldn't have, and knocked Mike off the shelf.

Both of his arms broke off cleanly, though there are two decent sized chips that came off his shoulder as well. What's the best way to try to fix something like this? Is there a certain type of glue that works best?

Normally, I'd be livid, but seeing as how I just sprained my spine playing basketball and can barely walk, I'm in too much pain to be mad.

Thanks.

I cant help but if you don't get a good response try the customs area. There are lots of savy people that haunt that thread that I'm sure you can get help.

Thanks. So far people have suggested super glue or something called zap-a-gap.

 

[robbiethepainter]

yeah zap-a-gap is super glue that is thicker.

I used some Gorilla brand super glue and it seems to be holding. Honestly, there are still signs of damage, but at a casual glance the statue looks OK. As a hardcore TMNT collector, I will seek out a replacement. But I am also a teacher, and so the beat up one will live in my classroom. That way, even if one of the little whelps does something to it, it won't be that big of a deal.

Gorilla glue is pretty hardcore, so it should stick. Best of luck with your recovery.
