Modification advice for ML Firelord?

Posted in Custom Workstation

I called Hasbro to complain. The newly released Firelord is amazing in every way except one - the hands do not hold his staff tightly. It slips back and forth. I swear, I wonder if Hasbro has any quality control department left. Does anyone know of a way to modify the hands to that it can tightly grip the staff? I want a fix so I can pose him various ways. So I can't just glue it in place. I'm wondering if it's possible in some way to beef up the inside of the hands with hot glue melt? Or perhaps another figure would have hands I can swap out?

Thanks, I'll try that. What is a good brand of putty to use?

You can try heating them up, pressing it in to a shape you want, then immediately dip in ice cold water.
Hands are often more rubbery than other limbs.
Or, you can try the "beef up" method with a ball of apoxie clay and then put the staff in while it's still wet to create a groove in the hand 4 the staff. Lmk how it goes!
