    Emblem

    What is the best way to reattach an Emblem? I have a Robin and his R fell off. What should I use for adhesive?

    Scotch 2 sided tape (think it's the yellow container)

    Works like a charm and is forgiving if you make a mistake

        Very cool !!!

        Side note: also works great for reattaching original Mego Star Trek foil emblems to their vinyl counterparts

          Back on the old Mego listserve, one of our sewing/fabric experts always said to avoid most tape, rubber cement, and spray-on adhesives for their potential damage to the costume fabric. She always recommended using water-based glue (like plain ol' Elmer's school glue) -- just use your finger to rub it on the back of the emblem, let it set out for a little bit to dry so it's not so wet but still tacky, and then pop on the figure. I've had good luck doing that over the years.
