    These are great tips
    As for the extra strong super glue, I find it works well to dip a straightened paper clip into the glue, and apply it that way, because a drop is generally too much of the strong stuff.

    Spider Man 2, I had one of those bad boys growing up, and ALWAYS talk about how elite it was as a toy. Absolute favorite, even after the fingers on the left hand came off. I treated my action figures well and didn't like to share, and that was why. Next time the leg got ripped off, and my Iron Spider figrue got it's arm broken off. I was almost happy when I started getting bullied for "playing with dolls" after 10. Almost... still made me stop playing with them at 14, and sold them all when I moved out at 19. Huge mistake....

    I have a question I have a 1/6 scale figure that has a custom head I put together (face and hair came separately) and when I put the two together there is a gap that keeps showing when I move it, it’s on her hair line on her forehead where the hair and her forehead meet.
    What can I do to help keep it from happening. I tried putting cotton balls in the extra space behind her neck too keep it from moving but it ends up the same way sadly.
    Any help or suggestions? Also I can show more about it in a email if we can talk there, let me know okay, also this is indeed my first ever custom head I mocked together.
    (I have two one with face markings and one with no markings I just need some help to fix this frustrating problem.)

    The broken parts can be reconnected , yes it involves superglue but also a metalic wire(this can be obtained from paper clip) and also precision and technique.Make a deep hole(in the center) to both broken parts in order for the metalic wire to fit and put superglue to the end parts of the wire and also put superglue around the holes of both broken parts .In the end when the superglue has dried then put supergluer around the connected area.From an estetic point of view it won't be appealing.

    Highly recommend silicone shock oil for loosening tight or stiff joints. Designed for professional RC car shocks, it's safe on plastic or metal and way more effective than soap or hot water.
