What is the best glue to use on these figures.
When making a recommendation use a brand name that would be easily obtainable in Canada or in a pinch North America.
TIA

Which figures? it depends on the plastic type as some glues will work better then others eg: I have used two part primer/CA glues intended for difficult PP/PE plastics, ordinary plastic kit cement and liguid glues, but mostly I use "Ultra Gel" from Pattex(Loctite) which glues the rubbery ABS? perfectly and doesnt make a mess, can be applied and cleaned up with a toothpick...equivalents are available everywhere though may have a different name such as Loctite... when I can't find a suitable glue I resort to pinning and welding but this is rare these days .-)

Some months ago, I found a "special" glue from CEYS manufacturer. It comes with both the primer and the adhesive, and is intended for "difficult plastics". I use it for all kind of plastics, from softer ones (like Häts's or Caesar's) to harder ones (like Italeri's or Zvezda's). I don't know if it's available in Canada or the rest of North America.
Cheers.

Here in the USA Loctite makes a superglue with an activator specifically for polyethylene plastic.Also Testors makes an activator that works with any super glue but you could only find that in a really well stocked hobby shop or online.Italieri and Emhar use a plastic that takes regular modeling glue.I think Imex does too and you can bend and reshapearms,legs,and heads.Hope that helps a little.
