Just wondering, does anyone have any suggestions for replacement lower arms for Hollow Point that can be used and look good without painting?
My Hollow Point right arm at the elbow is probably going to eventually break if I move it again as it feels like it's hanging by a thread. Because I bought it from someone here, I can't ask the club for a replacement. Additionally, it hasn't completely broken off yet and therefore, I wouldn't be able to send pictures to the club about it. It was a case of the hole being too small and now the peg is stressed. Any suggestions? Also hoping the suggestions will be for not too expensive options.

MTF arms are to expensive for me cause I live in Canada. :( I've tried ordering from them before, but shipping is always more expensive than what I want to order.
Not sure if they would look too long on Hollow Point though cause his body is so short. Not the most impressed about the body parts choice they went with.

What about a 30th/POC Viper
Isn't that the same forearm. You would just have to paint the gauntlet, but leave the skin be.

Hmm...forgot about that. I know a Storm Shadow had those too, but is there anyone else? Don't really want to get a Viper just to use his forearms, nor do I really want to paint them. I've already had to use one set for a Switch Gears custom.

How about replacing the elbow pin/hinge with one from another figure? Although the "rivet" holding the elbow in place is the same piece as the rest of the arm and is not removable, if you were to make a cut in one end of the "rivet", you could pry the elbow area of the arm open to extract the pin/hinge and put in a replacement. I don't know if it's feasible to try to glue the cut end of the "rivet" back in place, but in my experience, you don't really need to; it'll stay together well and the hinge/pin won't fall out.

The Paoli brothers of Extensive Enterprises arrogantly violate a New York City fire zone with their stylish Cobra Executor.
Here the 2018 FSS 7-09 Tomax (v.7) and the earlier 2017 FSS 5-10 Shattered Glass Xamot action figures have been slightly altered to have three-dimensional boutineers. I attempted to replace each flat tampo painted carnation with a miniature ceramic doll house red rose in the buttonhole of their jacket lapel. The result was not to my liking, but the painted on flowers were simply unacceptable, and I had to try something. Perhaps in the future I will try again using something else.
