There's a number of ways to doing it, but the method that has always worked best for me is to use a hairdryer. Simply heat up the hand and wrist from all angles on high heat for about thirty seconds, and it should just pop right off with a little pressure.

Try to grip the hand from the palm as you're pulling, and while it might take a little bit of pull...do not force it or you could rip the peg. In the instance that it doesn't come out, just simply apply a little more heat to the limb and try again.

You can also use very hot water as well, by dipping the part of the figure you want to swap out in it, for about 30 seconds to a minute, and then popping the limp off. This method is often referred to as the "boil and pop" method.

Note...when re-inserting the hand, be sure to heat it up again before attempting to push the the hand's peg into the wrist. This will allow it to pop back into the joint with a bit of ease, and will prevent it from tearing. Once the hand is placed back into the wrist, simply dip the arm and hand in some cold water, and it should reset the plastic, restoring it back to it's original state.
