    I accidentally broke the thumbs on my Swindle figure a long time ago. So i finally did something and replaced his old hands with War For Cybertron Cliffjumper. I think it came out pretty well.

    How did you do it? Are they still on a ball joint?

    I'm quite interested in the idea of using those arms but I really want to add a better hand.

    Your version looks good. :)

    No the hands arent on ball joints still they're just there. As for how I did it, I just used a regular pocket knife and got rid of the old hands. When you do that it reveals a slot in the arm where you can just slide it in. Hope that answers your question Rexidus!

    The cut the hands off of my Roadbuster (same mould) and used donor hands from the Orion Pax figure. Now his hands are closed, swivel and look pretty good. :)
