Why does my limited‑edition "Pixel Quest" 3‑D printed figure keep cracking after the first display?

Got the 2022 "Pixel Quest" collector's set – the one with the 1:12 scale 3‑D printed hero, the detachable neon‑glow sword (model #PQ‑NGS‑01), and the custom acrylic base with that tiny LED ring. It looked pristine out of the box, but after just a week of dust‑free shelf‑time the left forearm snapped clean off.

I double‑checked the assembly guide (the PDF even mentions a "reinforced polymer blend"), and the warranty says "no defects under normal display conditions". Yet here I am, with a broken piece that looks like it survived a boss fight in the game itself.

Anyone else seen this kind of fragility with the newer resin‑based indie merch? If you have a fix – maybe a specific epoxy or a recommended reinforcement technique – I’d love to hear it. I’m not looking to return it; I just want the figure to survive the next three years of my shelf‑dust saga.

  • Tried a tiny dab of super‑glue (no luck, it just spreads on the resin).
  • The packaging claimed "impact‑resistant" but no mention of "stress‑resistant".

Any tips or similar experiences would be a lifesaver.
