Wow that just sucks! Do you have another Taker? If so you could do a boot or head swap.

Just heat it up with a blow dryer or dip it in hot water and you can pop off the feet and put them back on the correct way.

You've got a head swap in your sig, but you don't know how to do a simple foot swap?

simple and foot swap should not be in the same sentence.
I find footswaps to be the most annoying swap of all. I literally spent 30 mins trying to get a heath slater boot back on one time

Chewdeezy's suggestion worked like a charm. And I was unaware the foot part of the boot could come off.

I purchased an E9 MVP figure from TRU last year that had his boots jacked up like that. I just took it back & exchanged it. Easier, IMO.

If you guys think boot swaps are tricky - try elbow swaps!! Those things piss me off like no other. Constantly have to re-heat the parts just to get that stupid peg inside the holes of the fore-arm

I'm surprised at people finding boot/elbow swaps to be hard. If you use enough heat (water or blow dryer) combined with a half-way decent set of tools, you're good to go. I use a small pair of needle nose vice grips from one of my old jobs to do all part reassembly involving pegs. As long as the stuff is well heated, the job is over in a matter of seconds.
I know of someone that actually uses their teeth to push the pegs back into the forearms/knees. That makes my teeth hurt just thinking about it.

Never done anything other than arm swaps and headswaps. Those are easy enough. The construction of the Elite ankles look trickier than basics, though. Just curious, with the ankles, which part do you take out? The ring going up into the ankle or the part that goes down into the foot?

part that goes down into the foot, easier to get apart than the ring in the ankle

My 20-0 Undertaker has a right leg that doesn't move. I can move it a bit, but it springs back to where it was and I feel like if I force it, it's gonna snap. I've had too many elites/Legends like this. Punk, Goldust, Kofi, Rick Rude, WM26 Swagger, to name a few.
