Soooo I just had a random idea of DIY wrist articulation.

Okay, so here's a fix I used on an Injustice Black Adam figure whose wrist broke off.

I legit recorded a tutorial when I did it, but I haven't edited it yet, so basic explanation is that I snipped a part of a small safety pin off, and stuck it into a hole that I made with a thumbtack, and attached the wrist back on via another small hole made in about the same place(the holes are as centered as possible for obvious reasons). This essentially created a new joint that was a bit looser, but functioned as the old one did.

So, my idea is this:

Snip off the hands as straightly as possible, smooth the stub and the bottom of the hand a little bit for the purpose of movement, then poke a hole in both, glue a piece of safety pin into the hole in the hand, and stick it back into the stub, essentially creating a new joint.

However, there are slight problems that my plan might have. Like, would the arm sculpts be compatable with the articulation, can you cut the plastic neatly, and etc. So, any problems that you can see with my idea? If it's solid, anyone have some spare fodder to try it with?
