If anyo9ne can help, I have tried but failed to put holsters on a figure. If anyone can tell me steps on how to do that, that would be helpful.

we'll need a little more info on what your trying to do.  did you take the entire figure apart to take off the belt and try and putting it on another figure?  or are your trying to cut the holster off and put it on another figure?  what figures are you useing and what type belt/holster are you trying to remove/replace?

I am trying to take the holsters off of a Jek figure and put them on an Echo.

I would try to cut off Jek's holsters carefully with an exacto, making sure that the top edge, where it attaches to the belt, is a straight cut. Then, I would use a pin vice "micro drill" to drill holes in the top of the holster piece and the bottom of the echo belt to receive thin gauge wire to serve as pin points for mounting of the holster. Another method could be to tuck a thin piece of typing paper under and behind the belt where the holster is to be mounted, superglue this paper strip in place, and then, super glue the holster to the paper hanger.
