Let me know if you can properly see the arm in the picture above. That looks like dark red? If it is, it's entirely probable in this case it's suffering from the same defect that many parts made in dark red and reddish brown suffered over the recent years (my star wars V19 torrent suffered horrendously for this. Pulled off a plate and it left half of it behind! Had about 7 or so pieces from that set alone simply snap or leave behind part of a plate) it's a known issue with dark red that has apparantly been rectified in the past 2 years or so.

Shroffy123 Posted February 19, 2021 I'm sorry to hear about what happened to your minifigs. I'm glad it was a known issue and fixed by Lego. I was afraid to touch any of my other minifigs for fear of arms cracking or breaking. Thankfully, I have replacement arms for the above soliders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shroffy123 Posted February 21, 2021 I have a new problem now. Any thoughts on how to get the rest of the arm out? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alexandrina Posted February 21, 2021 If you remove the legs, can you get some metal tweezers or something inside the torso and exert pressure on the arm at the joint to try and push it out? Either that or think about buying a replacement torso... It'll be useful if you ever need war-wounded for a MOC though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I used a knife to trim the remaining plastic on the arm. Then pushed the joint out. Some scratches to the torso, unfortunately, but the new arms cover it up well.

Unusable Lego is a painful thing indeed, so at least you can still use the torso Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
