Hot Toys - MMS - Captain America: Civil War - Scarlet Witch Collectible Figure

[Ghöst1]

Thank you!! Mine too, which is funny because I hated the costume when it was first revealed

Warning update from me: I was a total idiot and pushed her wrist too firmly when I was posing her, and I managed to snap the wrist peg in her hand It had to happen to me someday, I guess. I managed to change the peg in the arm, but it was REALLY stiff, so yeah if you're planning on even accidentally being an idiot like me, it might pay to take the wrist pegs out and move them around a bit before you get posing, just to loosen them up a bit.

Also, would anyone have any tips on how to get the part of the peg stuck in the hand out? It's wedged in there pretty well, I tried all night with tweezers to get it out but all I managed to do was nick the paint inside the hand

Use a needle nose pliers instead

I'll give that a shot tomorrow, thanks

Put the hand in hot water not boiling water to soften it. Then use the tweezers to remove it. The heat should loosen the peg part in the hand.

Needle nose pliers, as mentioned.

Is it bad I was gonna say just bite them with your teeth and yank

I would have if I could've got my teeth around it! I got the peg out of the arm with my nails, but the piece in the hand is flat flat with the hand itself, no where to grip. I need to try the pliers mentioned by everyone

That is the best method you can do

Hot water, lots of trying to squeeze the tweezers in, and lots of pain and suffering later: I finally got the peg out. Look at the size of this thing! Never again

Glad you got it sorted! I hate those damn pegs!

It really was. It was completely flat with the hand, no where for me to grip - had to wedge the tweezers in to get it out.

Me too! Hopefully I never snap a wrist peg again

The enormous ridiculous pain in the ass that Hot Toys hand pegs represent is the reason why I don't pose my figures more often. It's just too much time and trouble to change hands and get a tight fit without the hands falling off. I always, always have to resort to boiling the hands to loosen them so the pegs will actually go all the way in--and who the heck wants to have to boil a pan of water every time they want to pose an action figure? Meanwhile the Medicom Hit Girl figure I used as the basis for my Hit Girl kitbash has long pegs pre-attached to the hands that slide right into the figure's arms perfectly with no effort at all. Why can't Hot Toys simply do what Medicom does?

HT figures do seem to have the most difficult hand pegs out of any 1/6 manufacuturer I've purchased figures from.

Wow, extremely small piece left, that must have been a huge pain

Medicom is way worse.

No, they're actually far better than Hot Toys--unless the Medicom Hit Girl figure's hand pegs aren't standard for the rest of their figures.

Maybe they've improved. I don't think I've bought a Medicom in 10 years. They were way too fragile. It was just a matter of time before they broke, especially the hips and shoulders. I sold off my collection because of this.
