Vintage figure repair
 

I have an original (1980s) Splinter figure where a couple of pieces of the hard plastic have broken off from the body - anyone know what sort of glue is best to use to fix this?
Superglue doesn't always work on certain types of plastic but I don't know what type of plastic these figures are made from.
Thanks for any advice you can give!

I always use Krazy brand crazy glue. Dunno if they have it in the UK but I've got figures I fixed with it 10+ years ago whose parts are still on tight as ever.

All brands of superglue available in Germany work with the type of plastic, started repairing figures in childhood.

Traditional, UK "superglue" will stick styrenes together (eg ABS) and also PVC.

It's polyethylene which it has trouble sticking to, eg HDPE and LDPE.

Unfortunately I couldn't tell you what materials your figure is made from, but sometimes you might be able to find a moulded recycle logo which tells you the material.

Maybe a 2-part adhesive might help?

Thanks for all the replies. It sounds like good old Superglue will do the trick but I will double check for markings on the figure first just in case.

And just to update, I got some cheap superglue and it worked perfectly. You have to look very closely to tell it's been repaired at all and is holding well.
Thank you again.

Great everything worked out as you wanted it to be :)

Also big props out to D Piddy 1982 for such an informative post!
