My new cat woman statue broke, anyone have this problem?

I bought a misb catwoman about 2 months ago. Today i finally had time to open it up. So when I was carefully moving the whip around one of thev3 tiny thin wires broke off where the 3 wires connect on her whip. The tips also is ready to fall off. Anyone here had that issue? That whip is just too fragile. It snaps right off.

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

Yes. I don't have time for pics, but it's basically those thin wires on the whip are so fragile that when I move them they broke off with no pressure at all.

^Its not broke. Look at the instructions, they tell you they disconnect. Just put them back in and twist them a few times so they stay in.

Use some Superglue (gel) just a tad (if you know its broken) to the parts broken,
find a hobby shop locally, match the paint and carefully apply a thin coat of paint, til it match's and looks even hope that helps.

Yes that is what I did. I put a tiny amount on the tip and it was a bit of a hassle but it worked out in the end. It was scary at times when the glue was fresh and it fell off, almost having the super glue touch the other parts of my statue.
As for sticking them in the holes where it connects. It wont work because I tried. What happen was the wire broke off with the other end tip still stuck inside the tiny hole of the whip. So it just snap in half with the silver on the wire being exposed. there was nothing wrong otherwise. So it wasnt worth getting a new one just for one broken wire.
