A few weeks ago I accidentally broke a toy figure of mine (thought the feet were removable, but now I know better).
Thank God Japanese toys and kits often list what materials they're made out of on the package. The figure is made out of PET plastic (polyethylene terephthalate), so I was wondering if anybody could help by recommending the best type (or American brand) of glue to use that will keep the parts together without wrecking the plastic.
Thank you for your time, and please don't respond if you can't provide an answer.

If you can somehow rig the part in position with clamps, clothespins, etc., I'd recomend using an epoxy resin.
Super Glue works, without the need for holding the broken piece in place for hours. And I have never experienced it reacting with any sort of plastic, at all.
Those two are your safest bets.
