Figure Repair Help!

[PMJ]

Today, the absolute unthinkable happened. A Lego figure's hand broke off! The peg part is still stuck inside the arm, and nothing's out of the arm to grip. How would I pull the peg out to replace the hand?

I've had this happen to me before. I've never been able to find a solution to the problem that wouldn't end up just destroying the arm.

A very fine drill bit to drill it out. be careful though

You could use a very small screw to screw into the post and then pull it out. This might work but you are unlikely to have a screw small enough (like for building dollhouse furniture).

You can get a small paperclip, pull the arm off the torsos, stick the paperclip into the hole in the arm where the arm connects the torso. gently work the paper clip around the elbow bend and then use it to push the hand stem out.

However, i recommend just buying a new arm. Buy a few cheap torso assemblies or arm pairs on bricklink and then you'll have backup for next time.

Use a pin vise to drill a hole then use fine wire to make a "hook" to slid in and pull it out.

"...make a hook..." and leave it like that use the arm for a captain hook minifig

same as my previous case. No any solution just destroy it.

you can try "screw" but it seems it is so hard to pull out
