Okay, so I got a new, nice almost-minty Magnetic Batman from Berto at the meet. He had a loose knee joint due to a broken pin, but Berto threw in an extra good leg for free, cuz he's a stand-up guy!
I was planning on just swapping out the entire leg. But I didn't realize that the costume is some how attached to the leg calf under the boot cuff. So now I was planning on taking the pin from the good leg and put it in the leg that is already on the figure. Well, I don't think I've ever removed a pin without destroying one part of it.
So now I'm kind of stuck. Do I chance messing up the suit, or messing up the pin? He's all original now, and I'd like to keep him that way, so a set of repro pins isn't an option (yet).
Any suggestions? If I can get the suit off the figure without damaging it, that may be easier, but I'm open to whichever works.
