What kind of glue should I use?

Are these figures pre-painted?

Troubleshooting

Parts are difficult to remove from the plastic frame

Paint is peeling off the figures

Ensure the plastic is washed in mild soapy water to remove mold release agents, and always apply a plastic primer before painting.
