SDCC exclusive info

finally got mine they're really impressive in hand. and very awesome.

unfortunately both budcats suffered damage on the way. one of them had their left arm broken off, and the other's fuse was broken.

can anyone recommend a suitable way to put them back together? can i use super glue or contact adhesive on resin? is resin usually so fragile? these are my first resin pieces so it's a new thing to me.

any help would be appreciated! thanks!

these are by far the best buds yet. most impressive

Fuck yes they are. I hope Ferg does the orange ones for HALLOWEEN.

I had the same thing happen to my white one. The fuse was broken clean at the base of the head, so I attached it with super glue. It's not noticeable, but it is frustrating with such a valuable piece. I used the Gorilla Glue brand of crazy glue, if that helps any. It doesn't leave any white residue.

I to had the same problem with the wick on my black one. I sent Ferg a PM asking him for advise on what to use. He did not know what to tell me so he gave me Mr. Kelemer's email address from DKE. I sent him an email and he said he would ask Scott about it. That was on Monday but still have not heard from him. But anyway I fixed mine on Tuesday night using krazy glue gel and a toothpick and it worked just fine. I couldn't stand it anymore, I wanted those fuckers on my shelf to look at. Sorry to hear about yours getting broken too. But we are lucky to have a set at all. Thanks Wacko for all your advise!

what a relief. did you do the insurance thing?

No I didn't feel like fucking with it. I just had a friend sell some shit for me on ebay and it was a complete fucking disaster. Im in the process of sorting that shit out.

damn. well I'm glad it worked out. I was bummed to hear that it broke. They made it from SDCC to my place unharmed and I packed them well. sorry

Its all good brother! Thanks again!

thanks for the advice guys. will try and see if i can fix them up over the weekend.

a pity these are so fragile, and so limited.

are resin pieces easy to break apart? just honestly curious about resin figures and how durable they are.

Got an email back from Mr. Kelemer this morning, he said Scott says to use a strong super glue. If you are not able to make it work you can send it back to him.

Thank's Dov for your help!

best product for fixing stuff like this is called Loctite 414...u can get it on amazon

I Received a package with a bud, arm and wick separated.
restuck the game with a strong super glue
for the arm, I put a small bar out of iron to maintain the arm!!!!

Welcome Mikey!
Glad things worked out OK.

For the record this is the best "super glue" to use on resin and vinyl figures in my experience:


Make sure its the gel, apply a small amount with a toothpick or something similar and take your time.
It doesn't leave white marks like most super glues, is very strong and has a short "tacky" phase before it becomes hard so if you mess up you have a chance to move what you are gluing. Also since it is a gel, it doesn't run into crevices or drip into areas you don't want the glue to show up.

i concur, gel is waaaaay better and easier to handle

I just got my budcats today. Holy shit

Fuckin incredible pieces and I'm so happy to have them. Great work Ferg & Scott, I can't wait to see the other ones. I think someone might have mentioned this earlier, maybe it was even me, but I'd love to see more collabs from you guys in the future. 9"ers, skllbuds...SQUADTS. These guys are awesome and I can't even imagine what he could do with the other platforms.
