Hey all. I am working on customizing my FOC Grimlock. I want to remove the translucent plastic inset in his chest cavity but have hit a sticking point. His arms attach to 2 swivel joints that are pinned inside his chest cavity and block the removal of the inset. They are pinned with through pins (no heads) but I can only get to one side of the pins. The bottom end is blocked by the bottom of the chest piece. It appears these pins are pressed down from the top and then cut at the bottom and there's not enough room in there to push them through from the top because they hit the bottom of the chest piece. I've tried using a dentist's pick to press them up from the bottom, but they won't budge and they're small and sunk into the plastic so I can't get a soldering iron on them to "encourage" them to let loose.
Anyone taken these joints off on this mold? If so, any suggestions would be much appreciated.
