Finally, the time has come when a figure decides to not quite work right, and it's driving me nuts. I assume if I turn a hand at the wrist and it slowly moves back, it's the peg twisting, sooooooo do I need to freeze this thing or what?

ok call me a dumb*ss but when I read the title the first thing that came to mind is the hook on the packaging and when people twist the package off the peg and damage the hook instead of turning/rotating the package to take it off the peg properly lol. Dang my MOC problems haha

Microwave some water, place wrist in water for 30 seconds, pull it out and then move the hand around. Should work.

Toss a Coffee cup in the microwave for 3 mins, stick the hand in the mug for at least 30 seconds. Should work out your issue.

Use a hair dyer to heat the joint till I goes rubbery, then carefully twist and put back in place  |

I'd suggest the heating method like the posts above. If you freeze it the plastic will become more brittle while cold and could break.

Hmmm. Ill try it. I've done that for stuck or stuff joints, but I figured that'd just make the peg more susceptible to twisting with it being warned up and uh, gooey or whatever.

Heat it with a hairdryer. Pop it out of the arm let the stem cool off/harden again. When you go to pop it back into the arm...just reheat the forearm so it's soft (1-2min) add a little powder to the stem and pop it back into the arm. The powder will keep it from sticking inside the arm again when you turn it.

So what's the powder suggestion here? I just picked up a second E19 Lesnar since the right wrist broke after heating, but the left wrist on this new one is all VERY LOW QUALITY now so wtf. I just popped it out and now I gotta figure out how I'm gonna keep it from getting twisted again.

The baby powder will help the wrist turn without the stem getting stuck again |

My Brock Lesnar was the same way I just heated up some water and it eventually worked.
