First off, a question. Is anyone having issues with stuck joints on female Marvel legends? This is the second Marvel legends that has broken o me this way, first time was my fault, second time it just sort of happened.

Anyway, the meat of this is that the peg on my Psylocke’s ankle snapped off when I moved it. In the future I know I’ll be running joints under hot water before moving them, but I wanted to know if there was a way to fix the broken peg? I’m okay with sacrificing movement in the ankle if I can just glue it on, but I’d rather not :<. I know of the method with a paper clip after drilling a hole, but that hasn’t worked. Do I have any other options?

Typically, the best way to fix a broken peg is with a small screw. Here's tutorial: Peg Fix Custom Tutorial

However, that solution works best when you're fixing a regular swivel joint like a bicep swivel. Something like an ankle or shoulder will be more difficult since you'll be trying to drive a screw into a hinge joint. Since Psylocke is a relatively new figure, it may be simpler to return your lemon and pick up a new one. I'll post a couple of links at the end for BBTS and Gamestop. You can't order her from GS but hopefully you'll be able to find a store near you that has a Psylocke in stock. Also, use a hair dryer instead of hot water. Thirty to sixty seconds should be enough for you to get most joints unstuck or even pop the appendage off of a peg.
