Hello. I have a Scultures Master Roshi. Today, while cleaning it, I accidentally dropped it and the base broke inside him. I don't know how to fix him. I would really appreciate any help.

Unless you plan on drilling the stand filling out and run the risk of actually damaging the figure, there's really not much you can do other than attempting to glue it back to the base.

I did think of drilling it out actually. I don't know if gluing of it back will make it firm enough in the future. What would you advice gonstead? |

Use two part epoxy like I have pictured in the how to get started customizing topic. Super glue will be about a dollar cheaper (don't buy cheap super glue unless you want cheap results) but super glue causes a permanent clouding on the area and surrounding areas and shouldn't typically be used for a permanent bond unless it's something you are going to eventually paint over.

I have used a superglue that you use a brush to put on. It worked for my FFVII figures that came broken in the mail, and it is VERY strong.
I can't remember what brand it was though. Would have to check when I got home.

Thank you Branjita for the advice. Should I drill out the stuck part first and then use the epoxy or should I just use it now as the figure is? |

I'd just epoxy it as it is.

Is the stand insereted in the figure or is it all the same piece of plastic? Either way, I'd recommend you warm and cut it out or use a drill to remove it from roshi. Then just cut the top of the remainder of the white stand to fit the new hole. Glue if you want.

That's what I would try too.

I will try it though if the epoxy doesn't work. Thanks a lot |
