Hot Toys Spider-man 3

Man down!!!
In trying to pose this guy, nothing too complicated, suddenly his left arm goes limp!
In feeling around through the skin tight costume I realize the upper portion of his arm has split in 2! Hoping it would snap back together, no go. I now am faced with trying to take it apart to see what is going on.
It was quite the task getting that arm out of there without damaging anything. Not only is there the costume to deal with but the whole body underneath is wearing a skin tight black nylon body suit. I did mange to get it out with no damage and found the upper arm had split at the seem. It was in 2 pieces. There doesn't appear to be any trace of glue on it but yet they don't snap together.
Going to glue them together and it should be good. The real treat is going to be getting the nylon and costume back over the arm.
I've said it before, it's the one thing I hate about Hot Toys, they are difficult to pose and you always feel like they are going to break in the process, in this case it did!

I feel your pain with this. I've got a Man of Steel Hot Toys and I recently discovered it has ankles so wobbly he can't stand. The boots come off, but I don't see any damage. This happen to anyone else, and if so, what did you do?

Repair done.

Just an update. All fixed, better than new.

Used industrial Loctite E-00CL epoxy. Worked like a charm. Toughest part was getting everything back into the sleeve without damaging anything. Took some work but got it done.
