Good morning. I recently purchased a figure that had the hand peg broken off in the arm (got a deal on something fairly rare). Is there a way to get the broken peg out or will I need to perform an arm swap?

Try heating the arm really hot and pulling it out with tweezers? Is it a new or old style hand?

Had this happen to an elite regal before I drilled the broken piece of peg out. use a drill bit roughly 2mm thinner than the hand peg so you hollow out the broken piece leave the bit in the arm heat it up and pull it out, try angling the drill bit when pulling it out too save it just slipping out the hole

Heat the arm ,And use either a needle or something small like a paper clip to pop out the broken off piece of peg .Hope that helps .

Agree with the heating up recommendations. Heat up with a hair dryer for a minute or two, which will make it really loose. Then use tweezers to get it out.

Heat the wrist , maybe use a thumbtack to stab the peg and fish it out
