sentinel snapped off the stand

[mcyiddish]

So i'm clicking my sentinel when it pops off the stand. Does anyone know if WizKids has a replacement policy for the large clix figures? Has this happened to anyone else?

you could just put a new fig on, like a large sized hulk, or some action figure and make a custom dial for it? or, you could just glue it back on...

Same thing happened to me. I glued it. Seems to be okay. Had to do it a couple of time to get it to stay, though. The trick seems to be using two or three gluings. After the first sets, do another batch of glue around the edges of the foot to reinforce it.

Yeah, that happened to me too. I used super glue to put it back together and now it's even stronger thn before.

[RagingHulk]

Happened to me too. I tried superglue the first time, but that only worked for one game. It appears that there is a gap between the foot and the base that is too large for plain superglue. I have every confidence that a true epoxy will fill the gap and provide eternal stickiness.

Hey Mcyiddish shouldn't your catch phrase be

"Up, up and oivay"

sorry I couldn't resist that

[Melkoloran]

Use epoxy. You'll never get the base off again, even if you want it off ;)

Graf Zemo fixed mine with some two part epoxy.

[mcyiddish]

lol, adspirit... omg i am so using that in games from now on! :-D

as for every1 else, thank you all for the advice. my main concern with gluing would be that i'd snap it off again, but i suppose these things are unavoidable...

thanks for the quixk replies everyone and assuring me that i'm not alone here... i was worried i was dealt a bad hand by the wizkids gods...

PS - adspirit, added it to my profile, thanks again :-D

You were. Chum of mine had the same thing happen to him, but his four-year-old had to WORK to snap that bad boy off the base.

Use two-part epoxy, the five-minute kind, and have some stuff ready to brace him with so he'll stand upright. In ten minutes, he won't need support, and in an hour, he'll be ready to play. Note, however, that the little hole in the base where that tab in his foot fits... goes straight thru to the stat sticker inside the base! You might wanna pop the base apart before repairs.

Crazy glue is good stuff, but not for fixing Clix to bases, unfortunately. It's strong, but brittle... and when one is using the figure to twist the base, sooner or later, the torque will tend to weaken the stuff, and eventually it'll snap. I only use Crazy Glue to stick on minis with the recessed dial.

I've had no trouble using Crazy Glue for clix, just don't use it for Sentinels. most of the customs I have including Stitch and the Alternate Skrulls are affixed with crazy glue.

I have a Sentinel that belonged to one of my players (I bought it :laugh:) who, when the fig came off the base, pulled the base off the dial and used a flat head screw and sank it into the fig from below. This fig will never come off until the plastic itself breaks.

[shin-goji]

The stuff Graf Zemo uses he says is toxic and should be used with plenty of ventilation. But my Sentinel 001 has faithfully served me even after the injury!

[mcyiddish]

got some 5 minute epoxy and put it back together... got a lil bit of gunk around the edge of the foot, but it's feeling sturdy as ever!

did it by a window and still got a lil lightheaded by the glue, but well worth it :-D
