    GI Joe Muscle body hands?

    are the muscle body hands on the same type of wrist peg as the classic style body? I bought some Cotswald KFG hands to swap out but the peg won't come out and I am afraid to break it. the cotswald hands are riveted to the stem so it makes it hard/impossible to just use the hand

    It's fairly easy to remove the Cots hands from their pegs to use on the Muscle Body pegs. You may have to slit the rubber down the back side of each ring around the rivet and then slide over the Muscle Body peg. For display they work fine that way. Cotswold also sells hands without the rivets (or at least they used to), and other hands are available too that are a better match, like the Gyperman hands, also without the rivets.

        muscl;e bodies have a slightly different wrist it is hollow in the middle and tapered at the end so once it's in that's pretty much it.
