Any tips for getting the peg out of Jakks heads? I've got a bunch I want to convert to Mattels. I've tried pliers, but they don't grip the peg very well.

I think it would be funny to take an APA Farooq and remove the apa logo and put Farooq on his shirt like the jakks figure.

CHRIS BENOIT Are they the regular tall laced boots? A modified version? Or a shorter boot sculpt i didn't know about? I always loved how Benoit had medium height boots and these look great, all they need is that signature Glossy finish.

How do you guys paint knees and hips and keep them from peeling or rubbing off paint? Do you literally paint it posed and never move it again, or is there some trick to still make parts movable but not damage hours of paint work? I’m not sure how that works either. Usually I try to use a base figure in the color of tights that I want, so I don’t have to paint the joints lol.

I have gone all of the above routes, and/or hope the build calls for knee pads to help hide the area
