    Damn it. Went so long with no problem and two at once.

    The Foot has a crack that's almost gone all the way through and the knee has one all the way.

    I have a few different super glues. But i'm worry the stuff will just pop out again. any advice on fixing it?

    The first pic is the Knee joint. Two shot of the legs piece. and then two shots of the foot joint.

    Would you look at that...the foot has two cracks in it. I can't even see that in normal light.

    I can sell you new knees, but I can't help on the foot.

    I've only transformed mine twice. Maybe I should open him up and check on his joints.

    That sucks. I can confirm that MP Roddy is made out of crackers and gum. Just not a sturdy figure. The Japanese one is worse. There's a panel the leg that seems to be designed to wrench itself off, if it's turned the wrong way. I learned that the hard way.
    One way to fix that break might be to use a filler mixed with a super glue in there. That way you're not trying to force the parts back together. Zap-A-Gap is pretty good for that. For the filler, regular paper towels are pretty good. You can just slip a piece in there and soak it with glue and trip away the extra. I don't know how the extra material would affect the ratchet though.
