Minifigs Macedonian/Successor Elephant

An old friend, now repaired, the infeasibly long Macedonian pike became a casualty of rough handling and (eventually) got a superglue repair (see below, but the question on my mind is for "how long will it last" - I may have to re-pike it with brass wire):  

The old Minifigs figure stands up well despite being over (at least) twenty years old.
