Won't bore you with the details.

I have 1 x Rebel Commander. 1 x Arm out of socket.

How the hell do I get the peg back in the hole ?

There must be a way...but at the moment hole is small...peg is large ( comical I know )

Restoration advice welcomed

Place the arm in a mug,
Fill the mug with boiling water
Leave it for a few minutes to soften

then...

Carefully remove it (it will be very hot to handle) from the water
using a small (electrical) flat head screwdriver, persuade the arm back in...

It won't be easy and just slide in, but it will happen eventually.

If the plastic cools too much, re-immerse in boiling water for a few minutes.

That's a cool idea I've just watched it on YouTube. When I first searched it, i stupidly just typed 'boil and pop' at the start. I soon found out what happens when you don't add Star Wars figures in the search. :lol:

Yuck :shock:

Cheers guys. So far no joy. Maybe the water is not hot enough to force the bastard thing home again. I am getting frustrated !
