Freaked Out
I found that if you manage to get the thumb through the brown sleeve, the fabric helps keep the hand in place. InArt definitely needs to do something about their magnet technology.

Love this. And I especially love that the name placard is mobile. So versatile! How is that done? Is the placard separate? Are the two disc parts of the base (black one and the sculptural one) separate so it can swivel? SO CLEVER!
Idk if people know how to use the magnetic wrist pegs. It’s not just the magnet that holds it in place. I’ve never had an issue with them, they’re really secure.

So what does hold it into place? The magnet in the hand prevents me from pushing the peg fully into the hole so it loosely just hangs there.
I can see what I did there
Wor-Gar, I’m ready for your animated GIF
What if you can’t get them in? I haven’t tried any of the other hands but mine came with the left hand not attached. I’ve tried to push it in and there is a lot of resistance. Enough that I’m afraid to force it. There are enough complaints to know that somethings is wrong.
Hmmm interesting.
I’d watch this, time stamp: 16:48. Hope this helps.

Ugh, Justin
Do I have to (whiny teenager voice)
Edit:
Thanks for the video it partly helped. The slot in the left staff holding hand isn’t deep enough for the peg. I’ve checked the right relaxed hand and that one is fine.

Video is very helpful! Unfortunately, it still doesn't work. Maybe mine is just defective. Won't hold firmly, no matter how hard I push it. It can't go deep enough into the forearm. Maybe the magnet is just a teensy bit too shallow in the receiving socket? Again, this feels like it's been a touch over-engineered and ends up introducing potential problems without really solving any other issue?
Thanks, Bucky! The plaque holder is separate so you can move it around. You can even get a whole different title/name plaque and holder to use with the stand so that different figures can be used on it.

So to all the people with magnet issue: are the polarities reversed? Were they perhaps installed incorrectly and the magnets are pushing instead of pulling?
Nearly had one during today's OSK drop, just fell out of the cart in the last moments of checkout. It's safe to say I'm all in now. I've completely talked myself into this figure and won't stop until I get a deal.
When did it drop? I guess I'm not getting one at this point.
Early as ****. The first one he did was around 2am for me. Which is around 4 EST
8am EDT today. He said he's planning to post a few units each day until he's completely out, but I don't know if each drop will be the same time/be announced in advance.
Nah. Not gonna if it's mostly that time.
I was refreshing around this time and nothing came up. :/
Well, I will say that the excess traffic crashed the site pretty bad, so I wasn't able to see the listing until maybe... 8:14? And even then, it sold out in the time it took me to get it in the cart and start doing the PayPal checkout. I appreciate Kit announcing the time, but for the health of his server, he might just wanna go back to surprise drops and announce only after it's up.
Hopefully he cycles the time. This one happened later than the first one.
Hope y’all get one and not a reseller, though to be honest, there’s a bot for everything. Even sideshow has bots that claim those free figure codes that get announced on twitter.
