I discovered the other day that one of my older minifigs has some damage.
This isn't really surprising - I think we're all used to the
microfractures they get along the forearm - but this one goes from the
waist to the armpit, right along the 'seam' of the plastic halves.

Anyway, I was wondering if people had an idea of the best way to repair
this (it's an old Crusader 'fig - I can't recall if it's Lion Rampant or
Crossed Axes - so I seriously doubt CA will be able to replace the torso
for me).  Should I try to split the torso completely in half and reglue,
or just try to work the glue into the crack as best I can?  Also, what
sort of glue would work best?

Any suggestions for repairing microfractured minifig arms would also be
met with great joy and happiness.

Super glue worked well for me. It can go on a little gobby, but if you don't mind shaving the excess off with an X-acto it should work rather well. Dave (25 years ago, 3-Mar-00, to lugnet.build.minifigs, lugnet.general)
