What replacement hands are you using to get rid of the molded weapon hand?

I tried Night Adder and MU Commander Rogers hands, but they were too loose.

Also has anyone considered building a realistic weapon that would slide over the gun hand so Roadblock can hold a weapon? Have a notch on the back that would slide on the fingers section and a part that would slide on the thumb notch?

SGT Stone hands work well - or any fig that uses the same arms.

There's two different methods for using Lego levers to attach otherwise incompatible hands. I'd use those to attach the hands you like. You can either use the levers to replace the posts on the hands, so that the ball end of the levers sit in the wide spot of the arm peg hole. Or, you can glue the levers into the arms, and hollow out a socket in the hands to make ball jointed wrists.

Or just put a little tape around the peg, glue it down, then put the hand in.

I made molds of the hands from the 3pack Rock Block...so if I ever get a RockBlock w/ the Battle Kata hands...I have replacements.

Here's what I did using lego levers for the MU Steve Rogers hands. I also cut out that gun from the hand and after repainting the hand black, you cant really tell the difference once you place a gun in the hand.

I've got cast sets as well in flex black. Also, if you want to cheap out a bit just use a pair from POC Beach Head, as the style is almost identical and they fit like they were made for it.

I've only seen one PoC Beachhead and it's in my collection...
