<p>I recently got a statue (Yes Man from Fallout: New Vegas, if you're curious :3) and I was looking to cut it to add electrical internals.
What is the best method of cutting and re-attaching pieces of polyresin?  (All I know about the actual composition is that <a href="https://gear.bethesda.net/products/new-vegas-yes-man-statue" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this retail link</a> describes it as &quot;polyresin&quot;.)</p>
<p>Hand tools are much preferred.  Currently I was thinking of something such as a wire-saw and super glue, but I'm not sure!</p>

Polyvinyl, or Polyurethane resin? They're both different materials, with potentially different answers.

The filler ( fiber glas, sand. etc) likely has more affect on cutting than the resin. My guess is the resin is polyester ,( very common).

I'm pretty sure its polyester resin, the website doesnt specify past "Polyresin" for context this is the link https://gear.bethesda.net/products/new-vegas-yes-man-statue

It should cut easily with various saws, etc.  For repairs, auto shops will have polyester kits available. I easily  cut up a polyester / fiberglas canoe with a reciprocal saw.

Not really on topic here, but if your toy is exactly the one from that link, then the best way of action is to put it in a glass box for showing it, instead of ruining it trying things. If you leave it alone, its value might increase over time. I you "fix" it, it will always be seen as junk. My 2 cents.

Cut it with a jeweler's saw, according to the thickness of the polyresin.

Sand the surfaces that are to be joined.

Stick them together with Superglue or Duco Cement.
