    26:40 me too!!!! I bought that figure after I got my first job when I was 17. I always wanted a Spiderman toy when I was a kid. Mine is super loose now too and I remember him being so great. I'm so glad I can't try fix him! Thanks heaps!!!!

    The broken parts can be reconnected , yes it involves superglue but also a metalic wire(this can be obtained from paper clip) and also precision and technique.Make a deep hole(in the center) to both broken parts in order for the metalic wire to fit and put superglue to the end parts of the wire and also put superglue around the holes of both broken parts .In the end when the superglue has dried then put supergluer around the connected area.From an estetic point of view it won't be appealing.

    These are great tips
    As for the extra strong super glue, I find it works well to dip a straightened paper clip into the glue, and apply it that way, because a drop is generally too much of the strong stuff.

    Highly recommend silicone shock oil for loosening tight or stiff joints. Designed for professional RC car shocks, it's safe on plastic or metal and way more effective than soap or hot water.
    Had great success on brittle nendroid joints, and fragile locked/squeaky joints for a Chogokin Fireball Charming Drossel.

But there are other methods as well. Just let me know and I can recommend some other methods if that would help. It all depends on the size and weight, type of joint, ect., ect.... That way you or I can better assess what method will work best for the figure that you want to repair.

    Spider Man 2, I had one of those bad boys growing up, and ALWAYS talk about how elite it was as a toy. Absolute favorite, even after the fingers on the left hand came off. I treated my action figures well and didn't like to share, and that was why. Next time the leg got ripped off, and my Iron Spider figrue got it's arm broken off. I was almost happy when I started getting bullied for "playing with dolls" after 10. Almost... still made me stop playing with them at 14, and sold them all when I moved out at 19. Huge mistake....
