I'm going to say yes... but what kind of wrist pegs? DiD has usded a couple different ones over time. Usually if you are adapting one kind of hand to another it requires a bit of dremmeling and glueing to get it to work right.
If you post some pics I might be able to give you some solid suggestions.

Just thinking ahead for Gimli. I want to slap Sideshow hands on the DiD body.

If no one else chimes in I'll check out the DiD figure when mine comes in a few days.

Pix i have 4 DiD's myself, all with rubber bendy-hands. I've been looking at them too, seeing if i could doctor them a bit with either Sideshow or Hot Toys hands. I'm thinking of ordering in a set of Hot Toys hands and wrist barbels to dr the more beaten up figure i have to see if it'd work. As for the sideshow one, i think it could be possible to transplant the lower portion of the Sideshow forarm over to the DiD with alot of cutting, grinding and glueing...

I'm pretty sure the HT wrist peg doesn't work with at least some of the DiD figures...

Yea after further investigation i figured that out myself...lol
I did manage to get my sticky mitts on a BBi body, which now i'm wondering if the hands are able to be remove from the wrist joints without causing too much damage...lol
I've got such a plethora of bodies laying around you'd think i was a 1/6th scale serial killer

It's really easy, if you have a sideshow body that you don't mind using
as a peg donor.
First push the peg that holds the hand on to the DID wrist out.
DON'T LOSE THE PEG. The hand should slide out of the joint.
Now get your sideshow donor and an exacto knife or some other sharp thin
blade and cut both sides on the sideshow peg at the wrist. The peg should
come out, now push the center piece out of the peg. Slide it in the DID
wrist and replace the DID peg. You may have to trim the bottom of the
sideshow donor peg for the DID peg to fit, but its an easy fix if you don't
mind wasting a sideshow body.
