Question guys, every time I paint a custom, I have trouble doing the shoulder joint (where the peg's base goes into the arm), how do I paint this without the paint coming off?

Thanks! I've seen that before but I don't have a dremel or anything, is there another method anyone uses for this?

You can carefully shave them down with a sharp exacto them smooth with a nail file or sandpaper.

What is the construction of Crimson Dynamo's lower legs/knee joint? Do I need to push the pin(will it slide out?) or stretch the knee to the side? or what?
I started trying it after running very hot water over it(like I always pop stuff) and the joint started to crack.

Hey guys, I can't seem to find a topic on removing tattoos or insigna's, etc. on the Joes arms, chest, etc. Should I use Nail polish remover or is rubbing alcohol better?

Got me a HISS 2 (from 1989)/ I've gotten all the red pieces removed (including canopy and the rear compartment) but I'm having problems getting the two halves taken apart. Does anyone have any suggestions for this? Thanks!

Paint wise - you can benefit from applying very thin layers of paint, that will hold up better than 1 thick coat(against light rubbing). Quote:
Rubbing alc. is your safest bet, unclassified said he used a type of citrus gel that worked instantly(d-Limonene can damage plastic). Some paint won't come off so sanding may be your only option. The rubbing alc. is generally safe but the other 2 mentioned ^^^ should be used outside.

How do I remove the torso on a 25th figure? I tried it before, but ended up breaking it.
