I was thinking about posting in customs, but this isn't exactly for a custom. So I thought it could fit nicely in here.

Long story short, I wanted to give him regular hands in addition to his glove type hands. I researched and succeeded in getting the hole bigger on one of the hands and fit perfectly but the other one I think I exterted too much force and the peg snapped. As you can see in the photo above. I'm definitely getting a new Star Lord for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Hot Toys 1/6, but I couldn't part with this as I also did want to pose him in different attire, etc. Any thoughts as to what to do? Thanks

Moved over to the Toy General Discussion area. Best of luck with a solution.

You can get replacement pegs from places like cotswold collectibles or monkey depot fairly cheaply.

[Byrnes]

Sideshow Freaks is a good site for 1/6 customs help.

[Cyclopswc]

onesixthwarriors.com also

Not to steer you away from this wonderful site, but for 1/6 help, the guys/gals over there are pretty knowledgeable.

Replacement wrist pegs are very common as they come with virtually every Hot Toys figure now. You should be able to find them very cheap.

Regular, non-gloved Hot Toys hands are also very common. You shouldn't have any trouble getting those onto the wrist pegs without having to modify anything.

Also note that DiD brand wrist pegs and hands are compatible with Hot Toys.

Personally, I'd pick up some DiD hands and pegs from Monkey Depot (Monkey Depot - The Finest in Scale Military).

Thank you so much. I've been looking up on it all day and may have found something too

Thank you so much! Actually I've had him like this since last year and cursed and cried a little. I was devastated but yes thank you I got a method for my choosing XD

Now the "hands in his pockets" thing makes sense. XD I thought he was just trying to play it cool.
Aww. Well, let us know how it turns out.

[Bo Ttef]

ebay has them starting around $3. just search Hottoys wrist pegs. If you're in no hurry though, that Vol.2 StarLord you get will have a baggie of spares in his box.

XD Star Lord's always playing it cool. There's never one moment where he 100% loses his cool he may get upset but he's still a chill dude XD And will for sure I'm on the hunt currently.

"I don't know that I believe anyone can lose 100% of their cool, ma'am."

Oh my god, I need to stop.
