Super sculpey hands, hard baked around wire for the hands and arms:

Painted white with acrylic, and attached to torso with cable connectors:

Milliput holds the cable connectors on tightly while keeping one screw exposed to enable the replacement of arms once they wear out or snap:

All the separate components attached together so far, with a very basic outline of the skull head in plasticine:
