Can anyone explain how you fix giraffe-neck? torso crack, then swap peg. or dremel them skulls away son!!! Pretty much. If you don’t have a dremel, you can use a power drill with a drill bit the same width as the neck peg. 1/32 maybe (I’m away from my set at the moment)? If you hold the peg up to the bit they look identical. Anyway, you can drill up into the head a little bit before drilling all the way through. I use the slowest power setting and pull light on the trigger, and the bit will pull plastic even at a low speed. The material Mattel uses for heads is more flexible and the peg is quite a tight fit, so even though the opening will be wider than it was, the head will not be loose.

How do you fix hand pegs that are one twist away from snapping out of the arm? Would much appreciate the advice, thanks!

I normally get a bowl of boiling water, put the figures arms into it for 2 minutes or so and then use a pair of tweezers to slowly coax it out. If it doesn't come first time, I just keep repeating it and after 1 or 2 more tries the hand and peg usually pop out. Hope that helps

That Tito eyebrow redo is nice! I may have to finally pull the trigger and buy one.

Anyone know if any of the green Sheamus knee pads match the RingMaster Green trunks?

Here it is! Finally, I've had some time to get this tutorial done for everyone that's been asking for it. This video will show you how to swap ball joint legs onto the old style/ratchet hip joints. Enjoy!

Attempt at a GM Paige. Head and hands swap onto a Stephanie figure. Would obviously need to paint the neck/chest and feet lighter to make better. ![](https://rastlinfigures.files.wordpress.com/2018/04/img_2491.jpg?w=1170)

I would like to give my Neville new thighs. I think the latest Miz has the same thighs in his tone. Once I get a second Miz I will be swapping them onto my Neville and painting the black leg sleeves.

I'm not sure about the newest one, but Miz usually is slightly tanner than Neville. I agree the size would be perfect though.

For the first Neville release, I used Malenko thighs and it worked perfectly to keep the height correct.

Agreed, Malenko's thighs are definitely the way to go for Neville. ![](https://i.imgur.com/hx9MOwP.jpg)
