When I have performed similar surgery, I've taken a small screw, snipped off the head, and then after drilling pilot holes, screwed-and-glued it in to the upper appendage and then screwed the boot or whatever in to position. That way, you still get a little swivel articulation to help with posing.
I used to do it more wastefully - I would cut the limb with excess, then dremel that down to a peg. I'd then drill a hole into the other part of the limb, so the male peg can insert into the female socket. It would waste the unused limb, but it was sturdy without using foreign parts.
Thanks Norm! A stock Sharon Carter will work great still! It being a definitive look for an iron man villain, i couldn’t get over the half zip though. Once i saw Masques upper body was molded in white in the promo images, a solution presented itself. I’m really hopefully Hasbro will make a full zipped sculpt with butterflies soon though.
