Ugh, So I just twisted the hand off my brand new MU Warpath. I could tell it was stuck but heating and freezing did nothing to help.

So I though I'd come here and ask how those who've encountered this type of breakage normally fix these things.

[Meangreen]

Yep, thankfully it was the first time I've broken anything MU.

I've got a stuck Spidey hand that I've been considering boiling and see if it will pull out.

If the peg is still stuck in there, see if boiling it and digging it out with some sort of pick or tiny drill bit. If you can get it out, there's probably some Joe hands you can find to replace it with.

That's funny... the only MU parts I've broken have been a Spidey hand and a Warpath hand. And you're right, Prem1x, the only way I've found to really fix them is by drilling out the peg and using a Joe hand.

Indeed,

Yeah, I think I will have to drill out the peg stump.

I think my plan of attack will be to drill into the hand as well and stick the hand on a "prosthetic peg" as a solid assembly. I'm fine with the missing movement.

ok im back after my internet was down for 15hrs and during those 15hrs like an idiot i tried to pull out the hand from warpath and then it broke.but i fixed it by

1st i heated the body in boiling water and then while it was still hot i took the arm off the shoulder peg.

2nd i put the arm back in boiling water and while its still hot i poked a needle in the broken peg until i could get a good grip on it

3rd i started stirring the needle round until the peg came out

4th i super glued the peg back on the hand then waited for it to dry

5th i put the arm back in boiling water then put the hand back in the arm and put the arm back on the shoulder and then its good as new.

hope it helps you the same way it helped me

[Prem1x]

Yea!

Sounds like they should be a market for repair parts, like pegs and stuff for fixing or even adding articulation (like thigh cuts).

Oh man! don't tell me you broke your Warpath investigating my problem.

Thanks for the method though, that's a good idea to get the peg out. I think I just need some better superglue, the stuff I have is lousy.
