Does anyone else have real trouble swapping arm/leg pegs? What's the best way to do it?

Does anyone else have real trouble swapping arm/leg pegs? What's the best way to do it? I used to boil water and dip the parts that I wanted to swap but a hair dryer is so much easier. 30-45 seconds and the parts just pop off.

I've been using the water method, but that might explain why I'm finding it so difficult. I'll give the hairdryer a whirl and see if that works. Thanks man!

I used to boil water and dip the parts that I wanted to swap but a hair dryer is so much easier. 30-45 seconds and the parts just pop off. I've struggled for a while, but I'm getting my technique down. I put the end of a paintbrush (slightly wider than the peg) through the holes after dismantling the joint, and let it all cool down, to stretch out of the holes. After 10 minutes I heat it up again (keeping the peg cool) it all goes in easy, and as the plastic cools a second time it goes back pretty snug.

But if you have to boil, BOIL ... and let it sit for like 75 seconds.

Between waiting for the water to boil, keeping it boiled, constantly burning my fingertips, and then clean up, I’ve gone to my wife’s hairdryer full time. Torso cracks, which I’ve done less than 10 times is the only time I go with boiling water.

I find the hair dryer doesn't quite do the job there. Everything else, it's wonderful.

Quite a few Owen Harts posted recently, so here's another one. Went with a different recipe than my first Owen Hart. It's another Forbidden Figurines head. I think it's a better scale than the first (closed mouth and slicked back hair help) but doesn't nail the resemblance quite so much. Possibly my paint job. I used a Flashback Syxx body, as I wanted to do less painting on the singlet, for maximum play/pose-ability. Ric Flair arms. Chad Gable Legs. Repainted black boots. While I like the flexibility the Syxx torso gives (ball joint hips) it's too skinny/muscular to be an accurate Owen. Not than my original nailed his thickness either. This was my first time attempting decals, and I'm not sure I like them. I'm actively bad at it, which doesn't help. Shaky hands. Little patience. Too tall, but that's an easy fix with another pair of Tully Blanchard calves, should I find a cheap pair. Right now he's taller than the Hardyz, whereas he should be a bit shorter. I'm also working on a Hart Foundation Bulldog with some spare parts. Ric Flair torso. Kurt Angle biceps. Dashing Cody Rhodes legs. Spare parts I have floating around.

Are there any figures with the same arms as E32 Cody Rhodes but with the newer interchangeable hands?

If so, I'm not so sure if there's one out there, but E70 Ziggler had the same mode with the new interchangeable hands, just in a different color.

Nevermind, I realized I just need the Cody upper arms, not the forearms, so the hand style doesn’t matter
