EMCE knee pins

[jwyblejr]

This may have been asked before,I just don't feel like sifting through a bunch of pages to look. How easy is it to remove the knee pins on EMCE figures?

Pretty easy. Go to the custom section where the knee pin tutorial is. It will show you the easiest way to remove a knee pin.

Oh, when you put the new one in, tighten it up with a pair or short pliers until you hear it click into place.

Jaida is speaking (I think) of Dr. Mego's repro China-made pins, which are in two parts. They come in a Caucasian tone & are excellent for repairing vintage figures.

But for Doc's repro bodies, also used in Emce figs, the legs are cast in rubbery vinyl & the knee pins are one solid piece running through the knee joint.

By soaking the leg in hot (near boiling) water for 20-30 seconds, you can pop these Emce knee pins in & out.

I have noted the wrist, elbow, and ankle pins on the new EMCE bodies are fairly fragile. It is easy to knock off one of the 'nubs' that hold the pin in the joint. Not sure if this applies to knees as I have not tried to remove one of them, but I would still proceed with care and tlc.

The Emce wrists are indeed fragile, I snapped one.

The knees seem OK, though.
