NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DON'T GLUE ANYTHING
is pretty simple, warM the hand with an hairdryer theN bend the fingers at max (more than the hold card position pose) then put the hand under the sink with cold water and the hand will take that position,(I have modded mine in this way) THERE'S NO NEED TO RUIN AN HAND OR TO GLUE A CARD..
I've tried this but the hand ALWAYS goes back to its original position.NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DON'T GLUE ANYTHING

Ya it's pretty awesome as my only gripe with the body were the wrist pegs and how fragile they were. I'm very happy they addressed that issue and tightened up the joints.

Didn't work for me.
Since there have been successful attempts cases before I would suspect you didn't hear up the hands long enough for the core to reach the needed temperature yet. I suspect heating the hand through and through by leaving it in hot water maybe easier?

Well I didn't have an extra open palm hand but I did have an extra I don't know, knife hand? Gun hand?
Since the glue didn't work for me and I didn't want to glue the card, I remember the old boiling water trick.
So I just tied the gun hand into the position I wanted, put it 30 seconds into a cup of boiling water and then pulled it out and placed it under cold water.
And the hand has stayed in that position and now I have a right holding card hand.
Thanks everyone for the tips!

What about just using the hand that's designed to hold a card?

That wouldn't do, I wanted to do the "Here's my card" scene, his card is in his left hand hand and with his right hand he's opening his coat to show the grenades.
Ps: I just re-read my previous post and typed right instead of left.

LOL, I was waiting for that suggestion.
I also love how the picture says to you "ta da...I have a card holding hand already."
Maybe people are really insistent on it being in his right hand?

It was his signiature moment in the movie IMO. That's why I have him posed in the card pose. I don't want him in some weird pose, I did that when I first got it, because it's teh funz. But now he's in this pose and I can't imagine how he could look cooler.
