Recently, I purchased a Terminator Librarian for $1.50 (a steal!), and as I was stripping paint, the eagle of his force weapon broke off. I didn't worry about it, I assumed super glue would fix it easily. But, it didn't. My Gorilla glue wasn't bonding it. I tried greenstuff, but the the bit was too heavy for the small amount of putty. So, what would you guys do?

can you not pin it with a very small pin? If that doesnt work I would say mix some greenstuff extra sticky, attach the eagle, then use a bit of superglue to help the eagle stay in place until the greenstuff dries. Then go back with a hobby knife and scrape away any excess superglue / greenstuff

I love your pic
But anyway, I cant pin the bits, I don't have the tools for that. And by extra sticky, do you mean more yellow then blue? Hadn't thought of that. If that's what you mean, I'll give it a go.

No worries. Firstly clean the 2 parts with warm/almost hot water and soap. Then let it air dry for a day or 2. After that, score (I grind with a dremel but if you dont have this, a nail file or even a razor blade can work) both parts that your going to super glue together. And by score I mean your wanting to have a rough area on both parts to glue. Then put a THIN coat of super glue on one side and glue them together. Hold them, or clamp them together so they dont come apart. In about 15 minutes or so they should be bonded enough to add more glue. This is when you add glue to the edges, the super glue will seep into the space under the 2 parts. Wipe away any excess super glue and your fine.

okay! I'll try that. Sounds pretty simple, I think I can handle that.
