You need to get some plastic nippers. That would make fixing the hands a lot easier.

plastic nippers? what are they? i just simply trim down the wrist pegs with a pair of wire strippers

Damian do what i do if the original wrist pegs are still there , just pull the new 40th ( modlers loft ) from its pegs and place them onto the action mans original pegs a drop of superglue into each new hand does the job .

Stuart Naisbitt I do the exact same thing but as the original pegs are slightly different, thicker, I nip them into shape to get a better fit. thanks for watching 😃

Damian Jones certainly sent me to sleep camo lol btw I did spot the glue spill on the second hand, i like how you go off camera for 10 or so seconds then return and carry on as if nothing has happened! Pure Genius mate ;)

What's the best way to remove the hands of an old action man please. Seem like quite a tight fit.
@damianjones7554
@damianjones7554 2 жыл бұрын
You can just pop them out of the socket, they should come away reasonably easy. There really is no other way of removing them.

I've just brought an action man original..the hands are going brittle ..would u say its a good idea to buy new ones or will that effect the price of it ? Its the german officer I paid 65 for it ..its a 1964 palitoy
@damianjones7554
@damianjones7554 2 жыл бұрын
Personally I'd switch out the old brittle hands, I like my figures to be able to hold their weapons, but its up to the individual what they choose to do. Its entirely your call, its your collection after all.

The rubber hands are past their usefulness, personally I'd change them. They do stand the test of time, most original hands have perished after 40-50 years. If you choose to change them now they'll probably last the rest of your life. but nothing lasts forever.

Anyone know how to get the hands off the 40th pegs? Much easier on the video than I'm finding it. Cheers.

Does anyone know if you’re able to replace hands on a modern 90s style action man? I can’t find any info anywhere, I’m guessing they made it impossible.
@damianjones7554
@damianjones7554 2 жыл бұрын
To my knowledge I don't think they make replacement hands for the modern figure. The only replacements for the originals come from the 40th anniversary collections and it's just lucky they are readily available on the Internet. What I would suggest is finding another donor figure and taking the hands from that to complete your repair.

There's two types: the early ones with slimmer metal pegs, and the later ones with the plastic pegs. Dunk the arms in a mug of hot water for a minute, and the plastic pegs will come out easy - a tug on the hands usually does it, if not wrap some cloth around the wrist and pull them out with a pair of jeweller's pliers. The metal ones are a lot more work and don't always come out in one piece - they're set in a hard plastic tube in the arm, and the hot water doesn't do much to soften the tube. The ones with the plastic pegs have a soft plastic tube surround and hot water does the job quickly.

I'd recommend just leaving them personally, but if you want to switch the hands for 40th? And they fit? Then do what makes you happy. 😊👍
