I recently came into a Flashback Edge figure, bought it for 2 bucks from my girlfriend's little brother lol. It came with the jacket but no glasses and unfortunately the left hand is broken off... It's not a big deal when I display it, I just hide his left arm behind FB Christian but I was wondering does anyone know of any way to remove the broken peg so I could replace the hand?

I'd say put the hand in boiling water and pull it with tweezers. Hope I was able to lend a helping hand

Is it broken at the wrist? If so I would say get a pot of boiling water and put the arm in. It should heat the plastic enough to remove it.
If there's a piece of the peg, use pliers and pull. If its at the wrist and there's nothing to grab, you may want to try and drilling a screw into the peg. Enough to"grab" the peg and also give you something to grab.

Once you heat it, I would suggest either stick a pin in there or possibly a pair of manicure scissors. Might be easier to get in there than tweezers or especially pliers.

Sounds like a horror movie. Got his hand cut off and now you need to remove his "peg" haha.

Awesome buy! It doesn't look that easy to fix but try doing what others suggest and it might work.
