My single pack Snake Eyes' left hand had me very worried, as it was very soft and flexible and seemed like it was going to break. However I kept twisting it, popping it out and back in, and discovered that its probably due to the peg being a bit too long. I am not really sure but as flexible as it feels, it has not and does not seem like it will break on mine.
I did pop mine into the freezer when I got home, either the boil trick or freezing works. Freezing might work more since it makes the plastic more solid. I am not sure.
EDIT
I noticed that my figure's left hand eventually developed a breakage. Luckily it did not sever, and I was able to pull it out of the wrist socket. I applied super glue to the crack, and hopefully this will dry when I get home later. If all goes well it should be able to plug back into the wrist socket with full articulation retained. As a preventive measure, I will probably shave off a bit of the plastic on the peg so that it fits in all the way, I think the fact that the peg was a bit too long contributed to the eventual breakage. The right hand was placed all the way in the right socket and had no breakage whatsoever. Lets hope this shaving mod fixes this completely after the glue dries. Wish me luck!
Deathx360, does the left hand stick out a bit more than the right hand and have its peg semi exposed? Thats what happened with mine. Hope yours is fixed man.
