I was wondering what tools you guys use to remove and reinsert pins? I've looked for small hammers and small tool kits in stores and online with no luck.

Also, I've read on the forums multiple times about people using sharpies/pens to touch up figures, specifically silver sharpies for faces. Again, what exactly do you use? I have a normal, fine tip silver sharpie, but I'm afraid I'll be too sloppy with it while trying to color a TF's face. And I can't find any ultra-fine tips in silver.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Silver paint and fine detail brush works too. Sharpie is a quick fix, but if the area is handled often, the ink will smear.

I have to second the above. I went over a WFC Soundwave with a blue sharpie and it looks damn near its Henkei counterpart. However, my five year old and me handled it requilary and the ink got all over our hands and left finger prints. I use the (can't think of the brand name and away from my house right now) paint pens available at Walmart. I practiced on the movie line, turning them into G1 paint schemes. They seem to hold very well, but very thick. I recently just used a pentel outline marker that was silver on prime megatron and I was very pleased with that. If you'll be handling the figures regularly I'd also recomend coating them with a Krylon clear coat spray paint
