Have you guys had figures like that? How do you fix it?

might be a problem stemming from the packaging itself which puts stress on the plastic for however long it's been carded. much like bent legs or the ball hips on most of the newer MU bodies.
i'd try warming up some water in a mug for about a minute and 45 seconds then dunking the arm without the hand in there for a little bit. maybe like 30 seconds or whenever the plastic gets fairly pliable. you could try squeezing the hole together but the heat should be enough to bring it back to its originally molded state. let the arm cool off or run it through some cold water in the sink or in another cup. then try popping the hand back on.
if that doesn't work, then yeah i'd suggest a thin layer of glue around the peg to beef it up. i use zap brand glues which are fairly durable.

didn't know daredevil's holster strap was much of a problem, i think i was able to pose him fine with it. heck, i'm surprised at how durable the plastic is. my dr strange's skirt started tearing at the hint of movement.


update - funny enough my buddy in jersey and i started talking about it. said it was tough posing bullseye and daredevil cuz of the holsters and was thinking about cutting the loop on his. also that daredevil holster is tearing a bit. so i dunno.
