I know this doesn't really help now, but with my first set of these guys my kyle's right arm broke at the bicep and I was equally pissed but luckily I managed to fix it recently and give him to a friend.
Bought myself a new set off Graphitti's website and the first thing I did was run a hairdryer over both Kyle and Kilowog several times and it seems to have made the plastic a little more "malleable" and not damaged the paint or anything in the process.
The clear plastic they use for the figures joints is pretty fragile and I've found a few things (in my opinion) that everyone should know when handling these figs..

-when moving their arms, try to grip the shoulder instead of the bicep or hand.

- Their arms are both pretty restricted compared to other 3 3/4" figures, for some reason the right (ring) arm seems to have a little more in and out motion compared to the left (which on Kilowog you can actually see the point it comes to that stops the shoulder from going any higher)

-If the joint feels like its stuck at all, hairdry it! Then work it around when its still rubbery to make sure it won't get stuck again once it hardens up.


Hope this ^ helps. Not trying to be a "know it all" here, just wanted to share some tips I've found that have kept my second set of figures from breaking.
