Hi everyone,
I'm working on a custom Bele figure, and need to replace the lower legs of the donor figure (Cage Spock) with those from Odo. I've gotten them apart, but can't get those plastic knee pins back in! Any suggestions? Thanks, Fred K.

Boil and pop method is the best suggestion I can give ya. Basically run the legs under hot water for several minutes (or dip into boiling water) just long enough to make the plastic pliable. the pins are harder plastic and don't bend, so they should be easier to put back in.
