It don't mean a thing if it ain't got a spring. Come inside and chat about Funko Wacky Wobblers (bobble heads, for the less sophisticated).

Gluing Wobbler Heads Back On

Postby CaseyJones14 » Thu May 23, 2024 9:41 am

I just bought a Wobbler whose head came unglued and I was curious what glue people use to put them back on. Any help would be much appreciated! :)

Hey bud, I've found that E6000 (shoe glue) works best for me.
I first have to clean out an excess oils from the old "wobbler sweat" and then apply a generous amount of the glue and press the head onto it. Be sure to let it sit UPSIDE DOWN for a day so the glue doesn't drip down onto the spring.

E6000 is rubbery when dry and lasts a super long time without drying out.

Good recommend Wes. I've used that glue for other repairs. Good stuff.

I don't know if wobbler repair is different from POP repair, but I got a lot of helpful suggestions from my question! I used the ZAPIT suggestion and it's been great so far!
