I run the leg under hot water for about twenty seconds. Then I take a small screw driver and pry the knee joint out of one of the holes. Push the knee joint out the other side of the leg and remove the knee. You may have to heat the leg up again to get the part completely removed.
To put the joint back in, just use hot water again to heat the leg up pop the joint back in. Use cold water to harden the plastic again. Some knees need a little modding to fit.

Hey guys, are indy arms easily transferable to joes? I find the indy pegs to be slightly smaller then the joe ones, will they stay put?

I normally let the torso soak in hot water, pretty much boil-n-pop method, right out of the facet can be hot enough. It seems to loosen up more. The first few times I took the letter opener on a swiss army knife to the seam behind the neck post. It worked great till I tried a dry-pop and snapped a neck clear off. I still use hot water or a hair dryer but go in under the arm pit with an exacto.
I haven't tried it yet but wouldn't the knees come off like the VvV swivel feel on SE or Night Creepers? Last edited by ryota3k; 12-11-2008 at 02:16 PM.. |

Okay, I took apart my first figure and I need to know what I did wrong.
I used a pair of pliers and wrapped them in cloth to protect the figure and applied pressure at the seems near the bottom of the top torso. It came apart but one of the platic pegs broke off and there was some pressure damage to the place I squeezed. It needed to be bent back into the proper position so the figure goes back together for the most part but I would like to know if I could avoid this in the future. What say you? |

Most torso's have 4 pegs...so one being broken shouldn't keep it from snapping back together, though you may have to apply a small bead of glue and then clamp the torso together till it dries.

The peg breakage is due to glue from the factory during assembly. With all methods of disassembly there may be peg breakage...due to the same factor, the glue that you are breaking the seal on.

I use really big ones so that the pressure point is spread out and does less damage, also so the top and bottom of the pliers are basically coming together at an even space instead of an angle I don't know if smaller pliers would cause more damage, but the theory seems sound |
