Okay so I was posing my Commando Snake-Eyes when his right hand popped off. The peg is still in the arm and I also have the hand. What should I do?

OR I have an extra blue hand you can have which you can try to paint for a color match. PM me if you want it.

heat the arm in hot water or with a blow dryer, then, using a small screw driver (the ones you use for watches) or eyebrow pliers, pull the peg out using some force. The arm will be so soft that you'll be able to insert the screw driver or pliers and pull the peg out. Superglue the peg back to the hand, let it dry overnight (at least), reheat the arm (not the hand) and push the hand & peg back into the arm.

This happened to me on my single card Snake Eyes with Timber. I used the tip of a knife to extract the hand peg. Afterwards, I scraped the inside of the forearm to leave enough room for movement and decrease the tension on the wrist peg. I superglued the hand back onto the wrist peg using Krazy Glue. After a few hours I placed the peg back into the forearm and voila! It is now stronger than ever and retains articulation!

That sucks man, I broke my Storm Shadow's arm right above the elbow joint by taking it apart and putting another arm in there without heat. My solution, take some green stuff and make a hook, everyone loves a hook hand.

Well the thing is I might need to post pics cause the hand has like a center or pice of the peg on it.
