Most of the series 2 and onward Megaman figures by Jazwares have an annoying tendency to shed their legs. Not all of the figures suffer this issue but a good half of my collection suddenly became a league of cripples. The legs fall off due to the knee joint piece which connects to their legs snapping. The trouble is that some knee connector pieces were not properly molded and contain small to medium-sized bubbles inside which compromise their structural integrity and lead to little discs jangling around inside of the now severed leg.

I tried several types of glue but plastic is exceedingly hard to stick back together. Today I finally found one that works from the local hardware store. Surehold's Plastic Surgery has been the first glue-y substances to hold the figure's shattered little knees together. I'm not sure of how much abuse it can take but noone's joints have broken apart due to gentle movement and posing. It still beats out the Plastic Weld, E6000 and Gorilla Glue. Each of them just sloughed right off of the plastic after they dried.

Earlier I did contact Jazwares and they tried to help. Since the figures are so old they couldn't find replacements, but they did provide me with a 12-inch Megaman and a special 6-inch Zero which came with a whole packet of mini-figures. The weird thing is that the series 1 figures never had issues with the plastic quality. They were actually so heavily constructed that they had issues standing sometimes. The lighter figures made afterwards came at the price of the joint molding process. Still, Quickman now has both legs attached to his body so I'm happy. I hope this may be of some use to anyone else who has had their Megaman toy's legs break.

The figures which broke were Nightshade Zero (both legs), Axl (both legs), Quickman (one leg) and Cutman (one leg).
