They are attached just like hands, only more snug. Microwave in water for 45-60 seconds, grab figure with a towel, and pull the feet out.

Ah, wanted to know how to do this. I usually heat my figures carefully with a heat gun, and the feet become very rubbery long before the leg became soft enough to let the feet out. My custom Blowtorch is about to lose his bowling shoes and get something more appropriate.
thanks |

I hold the lower legs in front of the hair dryer, count to about 35 and then pull the feet off. I hadn't done this with the rocker ankles, just the 25th etc.
Some have bigger pegs that go into the lower legs, those have to be in front of the dryer a little longer.

That or boil some water then stick the part in for a couple seconds i find boiling works the best takes longer but really loosens the part up .

Rocker ankle figures have the peg go into the foot. Warm up the foot and pull it off the peg.

you guys are working too hard. hot tap water works just fine. I let it run for a bit, to get hot, hold the part of the figure I want to soften under the running water for less than a minute (more or less for some figures) then pull / pop out the part. for hands I use needle nose pliers to avoid damage to the small peg.

I heat a glass of water in the microwave for 3 minutes than hold the figure in the water for 30 seconds.
Figuring out the best way to do this is extremely important considering all of the Marauder John figures I ordered will need this treatment before I can play with them. |
