Yesterday morning, I was removing Bigelow's hands so I could paint all of his wrist tape white, but upon removing the right one, the peg snapped off. Is there a simple way to fix this problem? I'm considering drilling out a small hole down the center of what's left of the peg, and replacing it with a screw with a head big enough to fit where the end of the peg should go.

superglue the hand in again...the only problem is that the hand cant move sideward.

Welp, I half-assedly fixed it, but it doesn't look like it's going to hold long (the peg near the wrist seems to be cracking a little).

What I did to fix that is THIS..... get a sharp hobby knife, and carefully cut a split down the forearm along the seam of the plastic. Try not to cut the peg, but cut inward till you get deep enough to the wrist peg hole. Then carefully use something (small screwdriver, etc) to dig under the peg and pop it out. Once you have the broken wrist peg out, glue it back on the hand...use lots of super glue, just don't let it drip into the joints of the hand or anything. Once it's dried for a while, pour glue into the split in the arm, wrap tape around it or something to keep it together and let that super glue dry.
After that, you can replace the hand... but I strongly recommend heating the hand and arm up first, either by boiling, or with a hair dryer (what I use) Hope that helps.

Or maybe can you use your old spare figure's hands to put it in?
