    I'll try that, I've had mixed results with super glue, sometimes it holds and sometimes it dosn't.

    I open all my figures, gotta release them guys.

    Torso cracking

    The torso will not break open since there are key inside the chest cavity
    to provide extra support. The torsos are made from ABS plastic - you can
    re-seal them with a glue made for ABS. Check a hardware store or Lowe's
    or Home Depot.

    I'm glad to hear that some people are opening Khan.

    All eleven of my EMCE's have cracked and broke in the shoulders,some one side some both sides, when I tried to move the arms in that way.

    You would think I would learn not to move them in that postion, but with everyone I opened I hoped the posing/cracking issue has been fixed, but notta.
    I'll still get them though.

    I thought about replacing the torso, but it's a reddish tan to match the head, & Khan's chest shows.

    (Damn Montalban & his chest, showin' off just like in ST II: WOK).

    Oh, no... sorry to heard that.

    I checked my loose one is fine when I lifted 2 arms up and down 3 times, I don't see any crack marks on the Khan, his upper arms are tight too.

    I have 2 MOC (factory sealed) Khans, one looks great and one has left lower leg curved, If I open it then I can heat it with boiling water, will straighten the leg back to normal, I have done that to my POTA figs, works great.

    Also, I had one Mego body torso sides had cracked, I put superglued in the crack line then I put metal with rubber clams on the torso for a day then it's strong and never crack again.

    notices that the arms are tight also, haven't checked for cracks, do u have to remove the shirt or will the thing literally slip apart??

    The arms are very tight. Same thing for the new soldier ape figure.

    I don't have a Khan but I have had Doc's torsos crack when trying to pose them. I had to throw two bodies away this past month. I suppose that I could have glued them back together though.

    started a topic Khan cracks

    Khan cracks

    Has anyone had trouble posing their Emce Khan?

    It's a killer figure, but the shoulders are tight & when I tried to lift the arms laterally, the torso cracked.

    Still nice, still displayable, but not too poseable
Working...
