Yeah. as long as the bottom of the leg isn't broken, just push the plastic pin through, replace with a new foot and push the pin back in. This applies to any type 2 figure (elbows, wrists and ankles). Type 1 bodies with metal rivets are a different matter."I should say I`m very much cleverer than any of the people who put me here.

Just repaired my Galen with great success many thank now looking for a brown right foot moccassinComment

Congrats on the repair. Stay persistent and one will ultimately come to you. I tried a while to land a right moccasin for my Cornelius
. Some points to keep in mind- 1) there is a dark and light brown version of the moccasins 2) there is a right and left specific moccasin, which it looks like you are already aware of and 3) the members here on the forum rock (well most of them do
, but i digress) and will take care of you if they can. Good luck!

Just wondering if anybody has ever tried warming one up in boiling water if you have two right mocasins, and reshaping it on the opposite foot. I ask because I reckon originally they were all one shape and over time have taken on the shape of the foot they were placed on.
My Palitoy Starsky has mocasins that are on the Trek booted leg and they are still booth the same shape ie. neither left or right specific."I should say I`m very much cleverer than any of the people who put me here.
