Does anyone know if the articulated wrists are removable and can be interchanged with regular wrists? I am talking about the wrists on the POC Shock Trooper and Wave 3 Snake Eyes.
Do the new figures Wave 4 figures have the wrist articulation? If somebody has taken out the wrists can you post pics please? |

I know I can normally tug out Joe wrists without heat or anything, but haven't had any luck with wv3 SE or shockles. Don't have a JV. I will try boil/pop soon for you. I can't imagine it not working.
SW CW Clone troopers have easily removable "ball" wrists, if you have some of those around. |

I haven't put much force on them yet, I want to pop them out just like you do but I'm too afraid that maybe they weren't designed to be interchangable and I'll end up breaking something.

You can pop them out if they're anything like wrestling guy's wrists, but I'd heat them up 1st cause they're so small.

They come out just like all other hands. I popped out a Jungle Viper's hand with a hair dryer. It's a little harder since the peg is part of the joint and is harder plastic while the arm and hand are both softer plastic so you have to grip the hand by the joint. That doesn't leave much room to grip.

thanks all, that helps. I do not have clone wars troopers...do they hold Joe guns pretty well? I like wave 3 SE's hands.
