FEET!! How do you remove 60cm Obitsu feet?? HALP!!

[haruredjen]

OK, there are a couple of threads about changing the hands on the 60cm Obitsu gals, but can't find anything regarding feet. We're trying to swap out the 55 legs on Jess' girls, but the replacement parts ordered from Parabox don't come with feet, so we have to get them off the 60 legs. But try as we might, using a hair dryer and warm water, they just won't budge. To be clear, it's actually the ankle joint that won't budge.

I looked on the Parabox site and followed the instructions there, but still can't get it to work.

HELP!!! I think K2 would be the most knowledgeable, but anyone who might know, please help!

Honestly, heat the F*CK out of them with the hair-dryer... then pull. It's a pain in the keister, but doable. *looks at Omi* His footsies have been off at least three times.... that I can recall. Twice to shorten, and once to completely replace the outer vinyl shell on his legs. ^.~

To get the feet back ON, heat the leg again like there's no tomorrow... then shove. o.O;;;

Awesomesauce. c: I had Jyera's shins sitting in a pot of hot water after many blow-drying attempts and the buggers STILL wouldn't budge. I suppose it's time to sic the hairdryer on them while I go make a sandwich or something harharhar. Thank you~

OK, feet/ankles off, now a new problem has arisen... the 60 ankle joint tube thingie will not fit into the 55 shin hole thingie. More help??

And kiki, you were right, application of much heat, plus the extreme pulling that K2 recommended, did the trick.

Thank you!

Apply more heat and shove. It'll fit. The ankles for the 55cm are the same as those on a 60cm.

No matter how much of a great idea it might seem, DON'T cut out the little vinyl circle on the bottom of the leg that is currently making your life miserable. Once upon a time I also thought that was a great idea.... turns out that one of the things it does is stop the foot from randomly spinning around.

Oh lordy.

I guess it becomes flexible when you heat the crap out of it? XD;
