I don't think you want to use superglue on that considering size. Where did you but it from?

That sucks. The easiest thing is return it to TRU. But if they don't have anymore I'd say keep it and either just glue the hand back on. Or if you want to keep the articulation..take a small needle cut it down to the size of the stem. Heat the forearm for 2 minutes so it gets soft. Dab a tiny bit of super glue on the end of the needle and push it into the center of the part of the stem that broke off in the arm. Then heat the hand and do the same thing. if you didn't put too much glue on the needle ends you should still have a functioning wrist. I've done it with a couple DCSH/DCUC in the past.

PJ, I completly forgot that was a TRU Exclusive. I would take it back to TRU and see if you can get you money backOR see if you can swap it for another if there is.

I would if I were you, but expect a answer you won't like that much.

could try to replace it with another Mattel hand from another figure that's similar in size and skin tone...

Yes just heat the elbows with a hairdryer for 1 - 2 minutes. Then pop the elbow pins off of one side of the arms. Then just swap the arms and pop the pin back it.
