okay so i got real sick and tired havind my 25th figures arms twisted up in a wierd position and did this and documented it so any and all can see!

step 1 . pop apart your fig, I personnaly use a stanley razor knife

step 2 fill in the arm hole with plastic, rubber whatever works for you

step 3

try and drill a hole to replace the former hole that is the same size

step 4 cut away all excess material and slice your rubber/plastic peg so you can seperate the chest

step 5
using a dremmel saw tool cut away the area where the arms will be so a nice easy fit will allow you to close the body and move the arms

Nice tutorial... what are you making? And btw, do you plan on using SE's backpack? I could use an extra if you're willing to part with it...

Hmm, I am not exactly sure what this tutorial is supposed to fix/enhance....could you explain in a little more depth what the original problem was and how your technique fixes or enhances the figure? Thank you!
