Not sure but I remeber being taught at school that there are two kinds of plastic - thermosetting and thermo plastic. Thermoplastic can be re-melted (pens over a bunsen burner) but thermosetting plastics just go hard and burnt if you reheat them once they've been moulded (saucepan handles). that'sall i know though..

Oossible???
Take your inflatable blow up doll back to shop and ask for a replacement. Don't be so rough with her next time.
don't really know
What sort of things are you talking about? There are kits or products out there to repair plastic.
For large items or items that are under a lot of stress, there are kits with a 'mesh' and epoxy. You use the mesh to bridge the gap and use the epoxy as a sealer and adhesive. It isn't pretty, but it does a good job. They should be available from most hardware stores.
For smaller cracks, breaks, or items which you want to look like new, there is model cement and filler putty, available from any hobby store. These are used when making models (like model airplanes or cars). The putty is used to fill the seems between the molded pieces of or customize plastic models. You should be able to match the color using the various model paints out there.
Oh yeah
