Just broke my magneto's cape while moving statues to shift some shelves around. I inadvertently sat him on the carpet and he fell backwards and it snapped.
What do you guys suggest I do for fixing it? I was thinking super glue, but with how heavy his cape is I am concerned that it is not going to be able to hold. Is there a way to get a new cape without buying a whole new statue? Any hopes of restoring him?

Saw that you were saying that that glue was equivalent in strength to super glue, and that you were able to knock that weapon out of the hand, but would you think that it would be able to hold weight?
This is the statue (pre-break). The cape is pretty hefty.
well if you dont have experience. just do what John says. hes an expert for fixing broken statues. ill tell you right now glue wont be enough to hold that cape on. maybe an epoxy. but def ask john aka Vince-Vell. he def would know best. he does that sort of thing all the time. and if you dont feel comfortable enough o fix it yourself. you could always hire him to fix it for you.
good luck man. hope you can get your statue fixed.
Ya you will need to pin that, glue will hold it for only so long and super glue won't hold it long enough. When brakes like that happen you have to secure it.
