How to repair joints of SEED HG 1/144

My Justice & Providence, both HG 1/144, the ball-shaped part of hip which connect with the leg's polycap, is broken.

Any idea how to fix it? (instead of buying spares). I tried cheap superglues, but not reliable.

By the way, if any of you experience the same problem as above (especially Legend's very-stiff joints), you can avoid it by loosen a bit the connecting point, which can be done using a drop of baby oil (I use J&J). I happen not in time to apply this to my justice&providence :(

I've done the same. On a HGUC tho.

Heres what i did to fix it.

I took a very small drillbit. Drilled a hole through the broken off piece. Drilled another where it broke off. Then i put a tiny metal rod through both holes. From there i slathered on some glue and the piece was repaired! Probably stronger then it was in the first place too!
