It truly depends on the break. (where it's located, what kind of plastic it is, etc.)

Generally, these will work just fine:

Super Glue (brand names, no no name junk.)
Epoxy (works well, so I'm told, but it can be difficult to mix just right.)
Gorilla Glue (works insanely well when handled correctly. Now have their own Super Glue as well!)

I've had excellent mends out of Super Glue. Gorilla Glue works, but it's a bit of a pain to deal with.

I don't think I've ever tried epoxy on a figure before...

I read about the Gorilla super glue, I think it was in a Popular Science issue, it has rubber molecules that help it withstand use and impacts. It doesn't get brittle like super glue sometimes does over time.
