I'm interested in being able to make repairs on figures that have loose pins (like the Skrapnel figure and their loose antenna). I'm not sure what the formal name for those pinned components is, so I've had a tough time searching for tools that might be used to tighten or otherwise modify action figures that use these pin hinges and joints.
Anyone know anything about that? Or what kind of tools can be safely used on them? I have several figures that could benefit from being able to tighten them up a bit.

Shockwave, I'm not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for, but there are some good tips on removing and replacing pins. I can verify that the methods shown in this tutorial work, but will require some practice and patience.
