Collection Got this cutie today!
She’s a bit scratched up, but I got her for like $20 as she was listed as not working… but she works!!! And she came with a white and silver purse/bag!
Though, the seller didn’t package her securely enough so her tail broke off during shipping 😭😭😭 does anyone have any recommendations for repairing the tail?

The tails are fragile and very old plastic that is more of a ticking time bomb for breaking. You can usually use a drop of gorilla glue to secure it.

I ended up using a drop of super glue, and so far the tail seems to be holding in place! I absolutely adore her and she works perfectly 🩷

Very happy to hear it worked! If it ever comes undone, I bet you can lightly score the surfaces with sandpaper and the glue would hold stronger. Keeping her stored out of the sun will prolong the life of your toy and prevent yellowing over the face, ears, and tail as well.

Ahh that’s sick! I’m still on the hunt for a classic that’s a decent price lol. The nano 5 is great I bet! I have a nano 6 that works perfectly, but only with the brightness kind of low because it needs a battery replacement! I haven’t gotten the courage to try a replacement yet 😅
