I keep breaking off wrist pegs inside of the gloved hand on Hawkeye. Anyone have any tips for avoiding such a problem? I'm assuming a hairdryer would help but any other suggestions? Thanks.
 
The peg breaks off inside the wrist? Or inside the glove?

Inside of the wrist, and then it's damn near impossible to get out because of the glove part that surrounds the hole for the wrist.

I guess the real question I would be asking is what's the easiest, most low risk way of changing Hot Toys hands.

If you have access to small drill(1 or 2mm max), drill into the peg trapped there.
Then get a small screw(Any screw from a small toy or a tv remote control will be fine). Screw this into the hole you just drilled, and then use pliers to pull the screw(And the trapped plug) out. Then unscrew the screw and return it to the item you removed it from...

I am waiting for mine to arrive from a good mate in the States , who got 1 from Ebay of all places for me .. As I missed the Boat on him. (Hawkeye) & now he is not Cheap :(

Just trying to complete this Avengers Setup atmm. But still have to wait for Big Guy HULK any way , so that is good on the Wallet ..
 
Yeah Haweye definitely wasn't cheap but he was new and never opened and I think the price was fair as I paid the standard secondary market price for a used one. Definitely worth getting and I'm glad I picked him up. I like him better than Cap really
 
I passed on Hawkeye

Regret it now a little bit, main reason I didn't get it as cuz I didn't like Black Widow so rather than have a nearly complete Avengers team, i was just gonna go with the Big Guns or 'main guys' - Cap, Thor, Iron Man and Hulk

but now i'm thinking 'Gary, you're a fool'

Ah well, you live you learn
 
Yeah I end up paying $50 more than I wanted since I didn't pick him up when he was available from SS. Just too bad they made so few of him and I'm sure it was due to lack of PO.
