Frost giant's *right* hand broken off. Recommendations?


Miniatures


No, not the left hand where you can choose which weapon he holds. The other one The closed fist. (Figures it would be the one mini where there could be some confusion about whether a hand *should* be missing...)

So. Bad news: I'm a total minis newbie. (That's why I got a case.) Good news: the blue arm part broke off mostly *inside* the upper cuff of the brown gauntlet. It looks totally fixable to me. I just need to know the right glue, and any special techniques to use -- or pitfalls to avoid -- with putting a broken plastic mini back together. :)

The best glue for prepainted plastic minis is Loctite All Plastics Super Glue. Just clean the points of contact and follow the instructions.

I've used more than 10 tubes of the stuff re-basing and fixing DDM, SWM, Mage Knight, Heroclix, Horrorclix, Confrontation, Heroscape, Dreamblade, WoW, and Monsterpocalypse.

So far that makes you and Dragonmoon that have had this issue...concerning.

This link has how to request replacements. I would go with the smurfs/christmans story/ hunger games email address, since that seems to be all of the lines that are under license.

It might be worth checking with Paizo customer services first.


So, I finally got around to using the Loctite Plastics Bonding System (as it's now called). I also then accidentally dropped the poor guy, and the fist stayed on. That is some primo stuff, and super cheap. Thanks for the tip! 8)

I had 2 figures broken. I got 2 Seelah's one has her shield arm off but it looks like it just wasn't glued on. Also my vampire is broken off his base but looks fixable.

I did a search on results from Wizkids replacements. I found that some people have gotten different figurines as a replacement on other sets. I don't know how I feel about risking not being able to replace my vampire so I think I will go get some of that recommended glue since both of mine are fixable.

Two broken ogre clubs, one broken goblin hand. And my black dragon came snapped off the base. I've got fears this plastic is too brittle for miniature use, in one case of miniatures I've already had more broken figures than I had in about 40 cases of D&D minis. But they are pretty.
