To further: the biggest problem with drilling rivets out of a plastic toy is the metal is harder than the plastic. If you use to high powered a drill you will just rip the plastic.

<i> I doubt most people looking for a used Shinki would want to wind up with one who had PTSD from a cruel master.</i> I can think of a few people round here who might disagree with you.

Shinktropolis anyone?
