so my G3 Brights Brightly is broken and I don't know how to fix her. My friend accidentally snapped her neck, and it would seem pretty easy to just stick her head back on with some superglue or something, but she is one of the newer G3s, and her head is supposed to turn, but the neck joint literally broke in half and I was wondering whether anyone knows a way to fix the pony so the head could still move. This was my favorite pony of all time and I really want to put effort into fixing her.

(I can also snap some pics if that would be more helpful)
 
Oh no, poor girl! I have Brights Brightly too, she's one of my childhood ponies.
You could try using a hot glue gun or Krazy Glue to stick the pieces back together, but the ease of this task depends on how big the pieces are.
If you could get some pictures, I could probably give you a better suggestion, lol.

Hmmmm, maybe a dab of glue on the joint to put it together, or sculpy if not fixable?
 
Bump for updates: so we managed to pull the joint piece that broke off out of the pony's body and glue the joint back to the head. Now I'd like some advice on how to safely put the head back on. I've seen quite a few tutorials showing how to remove and re-attach heads for g3s without the turning heads, but since we used super glue (neither sculpey or epoxie sculpt are available to me) I don't want to risk breaking it again, and I want the head to still turn.

Any ideas?
 
Hmmm, I am not sure how to help, but I have placed heads back into fakies the same way, only to not glue the head to body.
 
Since the head is out completely and the stress is takes to put one back in can be enormous, your best bet is to heat the body so the neck hole will be softer and try to gently ease the plug back in. Even the strongest glue might break under such stress though.
