I tried that initially, but unfortunately it kept coming off when I tried to fit it in. It might be the glue I used, though. It hasn't been working as well as it should, need a new bottle. And I'm only just learning how to get pictures online...

Let me help you. Go to photobucket (google for it) and get an account there. Then you can upload pics from your phone of camera and then once you do, photobucket will give you links to your pictures online. So then you copy paste those links here and we can see your pictures. And for all my gluing, I use krazy glue.

Thanks for your help, I'll be sure to try that when I get the chance.

If only there a soldering like device we can you to melt and reattach the part. Crazy glue aka cryoacrylate is only good on parts not exposed to pressure. Any other than that, itza breaking apart again.

You're right, and here I was using a combination of 'the force' and duct tape #-o

I just got my own Devastator in the mail today and this thread had me paranoid I was gonna break it :-P

Fortunately he made it onto my shelf in one piece...though I did have to raise the shelf above my TFs to fit him in :-D

Whoops, sorry! Didn't mean to worry you. It's a pretty stable figure(s), just keep an eye on the tab.

If your feeling froggy I have a suggestion. Now for a quick disclaimer: this is dangerous and I've never used it on a load bearing tab.

Heat up the blade of a razor knife and press it to the larger part and press the smaller part to the other side of the knife. Both parts melt a little then remove the knife and press said pieces together.

This can leave some burnt marks and some melted looking plastic. I just recent repaired some vintage Christmas ornaments with this technique.

Now what exact part are we talking about on ol Devy so I can be careful.

I don't mean to pee in your Cheerios, but I don't think that would work well, especially with a load-bearing part. You'd have to totally melt the 2 pieces down and have them fuse in liquid state then cool them down really fast. I don't think just a heated knife can do that job. The idea is good, but you would need more sufficient tools. Like a blowtorch. :twisted:

I agree on the load bearing part, but the plastic will melt. It's tricky but it works. I use a cigarette lighter to heat the metal.

Too hot and it scorches the plastic though and may melt it to fast. But if you're looking for a down and dirty way to fuse plastic, this does the trick.

Okay, I take your word for it. I never tried it, just thought I'd be the required voice of caution.

Didn't Dr. Wu or some third party make new elbow parts for Scrapper? Has anyone tried them?

Also, It always bugged my that Omega Supreme was the same size as Devastator. He should be much bigger. His arms form a rocket that can hold a bunch of guys.

Yeah, yeah, I know. Mass changing, etc.

Again, Ashens would totally relate with the blow-torching bad toys thing. :-P

Yeah, I think Omega is just the sum of his parts while Devastator grows bigger, yadda yadda

Oh I know what you mean, but you'll need a pair of pliers to go with that blow torch.
