Hamhands General
I just broke figma Ryuko's wrist. The peg broke off in the hand and the ball is stuck in the arm. Tweezers and a tight grip don't seem to be working. Any tips?

Acetone will lubricate it and allow it to slide out.

Try pliers. The joint is broken anyways and you have that extra wrist joint they provided in the box. You still have that, right?
I was able to finally get it put NY wedging a razor blade into the joint and pushing it out. Now I just need to find a replacement joint

I can't seem to find the replacement joint. I was thinking of just using the one that came with Satsuki, but then she'll have a white wrist

Heat the hand and arm separately and remove the stuck bits with fine needle nose pliers while the external parts are still malleable. The broken joint pieces are more resilient to heat changes, so they'll be stiff while everything else is rubbery.

That's why you don't throw away the boxes.

I didn't. I got this toy secondhand though, so that's probably where it went..

Would that joint work out? It looks the same but there's no measurements or anything
Whats going on in this thread?
Finally I can post this
This was my first and only hamhands incident.
A couple years old by now
Is it Hamhands if something breaks instantly without any resistance or force?

>breaking a HAsbro figure made of mithril plastic
LOLOLOLOL-... yeah, that happened to me once. Trying to take a figure out of the plastic bubble by pulling at his arm and his wrist snapped off.

I started moving his arm without realizing it was basically glued in the socket. At least I've never hamhanded any of my actual collection

some shitposters will say yes, but the truth is no.
Plastic can have defects or other issues before ever getting out of package.

I guess I was just unlucky, literally the only SHF I've had break on me.
I still kick myself for shearing off PAK Grey Fox's elbow pad when trying to switch out his arms.
Latest ham handery(not including necas superman) was breaking polynian clovers arm joint, since I opened her in the dark and didn't notice it was sideways. Didn't make that mistake with the fuckboi.
grab a needle, heat it up and then stick it in the joint; grab a pair of pliers and pull it out

Did you fuck up her arm at all?
next time try a hair dryer or hot water to soften the plastic. Makes it easier to remove the pegs from their joints.
Also how do you not have all of those saved. This is what their for.
Would a revo joint work? One of the small ones like in the Eva wrists?

like I said before, I earlier, I got it secondhand and the replacement joint just wasn't in the box.
