Then, holding the arm, I moved the joint where the screw was in line with the straightened out arm, and I just screwed the arm into the other drilled out hole in the other half-peg in the body's shoulder socket, using the arm itself as sort of a screwdriver handle. No boil and pop, no glue at all. It screwed down nice and snug, and now the joint feels really solid and has full range of motion, just like the right arm. Really a simple fix.

jeeze when you put it that way....why didn't i think of that....so simple! LOL

damn, I dunno, if that happened to my croc.....well First I would have to own the new croc figure....but if i did own one and it broke, I'd either gorilla glue it, or mail it back to DCC and tell them to fix it! hahaha I don't have the cojones to start drilling away at it, but thats just me, i'm not skilled like that with customs and whatnot yet....i wish!

No worries, that just means you watched the same terrible movies as everyone else.
