Since I have yet to be able to obtain a Sgt. Stone which seems to be the consensus for best hand switch, I decided to venture out on my own.
My initial thought was trying Marvel Legends Commander Rogers, per another Tanker's recommendation. Not sure if the other tanker modded the hands, but I couldnt seem to get them to work. They didnt fit snuggly on RB and also RB and thank God is accurately not white. Some pics I had seen made him look like he was a straight up white dude. Anyway, the hands dont work not just for the fit, but for the skin tone, eventhough they are more movie accurate. So I used a spare POC Copperhead's hands. I popped RB's hands out and popped POC CH in. However the same issue with snug came up. B/c CH hands have no end peg, it just needed a little extra thickness added to it. So I took just a tiny, tiny amt. of duck tape and wrapped it around each CH hand and inserted them into RB. SNUG! They twist, losing no articulation and fit great. I think overall they may be a tiny bit small.....but just a tiny. RBs original hands are huge and if u put CH hands next to his, they will look even smaller, but on their own they look pretty good. What do you think guys?

Wouldn't the ROC Night Adder hands work?
If so, there should be an abundance of those figs sitting around.

Ceraurus already did the head swap and said there is a diff in skin tone (which sux!) so there goes that idea for a strait swap...
