Repair Help Needed for 1/35 Max Factory VOTOMS Scopedog

[darkev2]

Hello

I got one of the old Max Factory Scopedog figures from the VOTOMS Anime and I have run into a bt of a problem. Somehow in the middle of re-positioning the legs for a new pose one of the legs snapped off at the hip joint. Here is a picture of the figure (not my broken one);



I was wondering if anyone here at the RPF has had figurines from MAX Factory and who perhaps had to repair them had any suggestions. The thing is made out of this rubberized plastic that super glue just doesn't like working with. Any and all suggestions would be GREATLY Appreciated!!!

Thank You!!!

You will probably have to look for something that will actually melt/weld the plastic.
Drilling and pinning will help also.

You could also try contacting the company to see if they can help with suggestions or a replacement part.

Drill, pin and two pack glue worked for me. Stay away from trying to reheat, melt etc........just my 2 cents...good luck!

Yes be careful as most glues will ruin the paint finish.
Is it a solid hard plastic or the slightly rubbery plastic?
I broke one of my figures and have not tried repairing.

Pin and epoxy will probably work, but not as strong as new. A pic will help gather possible additional suggestions.
