So I took my Lelouche out for a spin and while I was swapping out his main outstretched right hand, this is the result.

It was easier than I thought it would be to get the peg out of the socket. I ran the arm under hot water and dug out the peg with the tip of my hobby knife. Even when the peg was accidentally flicked out and fell on the floor, I found it in seconds, as if the figure/model god was showing me mercy.

I found this out when I first got Miku, but damn if it's a bitch to remove spare hands from Figma. Someone needs to go slap Max Factory upside the head and tell them that figures don't need joints THAT secure if they're not even going to hold anything remotely heavy...

So I'm down a hand, what can I use for a strong chemical to join the two parts back together? Superglue? Cement? Is there a way to order spare hands from Max Factory (hopefully outside of Japan).

I'd just try super glue first and never touch that hand again... 8D

My Lelouch's left hand broke too, I think it's shoddy QC since they were an earlier line.

I haven't had much breakage for newer figmas and I own about 20 now.

To note: I broke Shana's sword because I was being dumb with it, same with Kagami's hairpiece. Both were easy fixes with superglue though.

I would just use Tamiya Cement to glue it then use sandpaper to clean it up. and yeah, i would never ever play with that hand again.

Thanks for the help! I'll go to the nearest Hobby store for some cement and file down the excess or shave it with my knife.
