So yes.. horrible things do happend to us.. family members, pets.. they just don't watch where they are going!

See here, my little Greece figurine. I've chosen him as an example because he broke at the time.. and he is VERY small, proving that this methodes works on almost every figurine.

Step 1: Gather the stuff you need. You'll need:
- The broken figurine (duh)
- The broken piece
- Wood glue (or super glue, though I prefer wood glue from Pattex, it's an German brand)
- A hair dryer. All of them work

Step 2: Put some glue on your fingers, or on the broken spot. Since this is  TINY figurine I put it on my fingers first to avoid it getting to much

Step 3: Dip the BROKEN piece into the glue, just a little!

Step 4: Attach the broken piece back to its original place. Hold in place (DO NOT PRESS TO HARD) and use the blow dryer on the hottest stand to dry it. Be carefull though. For both your hands and if your figurine is bootleg, the PVC might melt!

Step 5: Blow dry it for a couple of minutes.

Step 6: Done! It's perfect now!

This worked for me for 10 figurines already!

I've been thinking of gluing my figurine as well. I have Greece and his arm does not like to stay in place. :<

Oh I heard that many times. However his one arm does look like a granny arm. I contact the sculptor.. and itīs SUPPOSED to look this weird..

I agree with you on the granny arm. It's like his one arm has anorexia. xD

Weird, and a pain to get in that tiny hole. -_-

I know, it looks so awkard... XD Lol anorexia arm..

I also have this probleme with HRE's arm.. It stays put but with the tiniest nudge it falls off again.

Swedens sword went awfully well, and the chick on Prussias head isn't magnetic, so it keeps toppeling off...

I hate that the most. =_=

And that's really dumb. I would have thought the chick would be magnetic. It should have! It would make much more sense.

Plus, the kitty on Greece's head should have been removable!

Yeah! That would be cool if you can remove the cat.

And I know the chick I fear the most. I often vacuum my room and I'm afaid it'topple over and fall on the floor.. what If... I vacuum it. My life would end.
