So I've got a low key custom job. All I really want to do is swap some parts between Zero Suit Samus and Other M armor Samus figmas to make a battle damage state or mid-equip state. Thankfully the legs at the hip match well enough. I run into some trouble with the arms. Armored shoulders I think are a match for the Y shaped hip joint. I can't fully confirm because the ball joints are stuborn and I think i might have started to stress one of them trying to remove it from the socket in the chest. Even if I could remove it I do not believe it would be a a fit for the shoulder joint on the ZSS body. So I'm thinking it'd be better to get a replacement Y joint and make an adapter sleeve to slide on the shoulder joint already on the ZSS body.
So my questions would be the best way to source some spare figma parts and any techniques to remove parts with tight ball joints?
