    You can use some of the hands from the wrestling figures, for your custom figures. You would need carefully to cut the wrist below the wristband. I use my X-Acto knife. Cut away the rubber to expose the little wrist joint. Push the small pin that holds the hand on to the Mego wrist joint. With some pliers pull out the wrist joint from the forearm of you Mego figure. Use a small amount of lubricant in the wrist hole and push in the new hand.

    you should be able to get them out using hot water, too. No need for an exacto knife.

        I use the whole arm if I am going for a bulkier look. Tbolt is right, boil and pop the hands to remove them and you'll save the arms for another day.

            I was thinking the same thing, and I believe FTC already offers several wrestler parts on their website ready for use.....

              Yes they are. I got some from the goodwill and some of them on Ebay. It was at a good price too.

                That's a good idea. EMCE Hammer. I'll try that. It's time for some bigger arms on my Mego Superman!
