God fucking dammit
So two years ago I bought the Cloud AC Play Arts figure, and he was sitting happily on my computer until a gust of wind came through my window a week after I bought him, knocking him off and breaking his leg. Naturally, I was disappointed, but oh well.


But just now I was walking through town and Pulsar Max (the shop that sells models/comics/etc in this area) was having a sale, and I spied Alphonse Elric's model sitting in the window. I nabbed him, took him home, was limbering up the joints a little, and... his hand comes off as soon as I touch it. Snapped straight off, ball still in socket, and alternate hand sitting happily in box. Stupid ludicrously-stiff PVC... Now to find some sort of glue, and somehow get the ball out of socket (seeing as how it's supposed to come out and all)... >_< The worst part is I've seen online that you can take off his chest and head and see the blood symbol on the back of his armour, but I'm now too scared to touch him.

Argh. I have no luck with models.


Edit: So I ran the handless socket under hot water and tried to jimmy the ball out with a sharp knife, which worked: unfortunately, I was still standing over the sink when it popped out, so... that hand is now unfixable. Maybe I should just leave everything in the box next time.
