The original sculpt did indeed look great. Pity Sideshow messed it up when the piece went into production.

I got this figure in a trade and it really looks great for what it is. I have no need for it, so I'm selling it, but it's a great figure by HT.

An email has gone to Sideshow EU and I now await their response. I'm hoping they will send me a new left arm and hand.

Sorry to see that, Danny. Hopefully Sideshow won't take too long dealing with your inquiry.

Danny, you won't need either of those - just a new peg, like these:

The exact same wrist broke on my Dutch, but I bent it the wrong way. They're easy to replace!

What I did was drill into the broken plastic wrist stump with a small (1mm or so) drill bit; screw a small wood screw a little bit into the hole so you have something to grab on to.
Then just grab the head of the screw with pliers and pull it out, it takes the broken stump with it.
Best way to remove it without damaging the surrounding arm or rubber skin!
