I've pinned all the multi piece ones Dean - but the pieces aren't 
completely straight on (although you have to look close to notice).
I'd highly recommend pinning as the gravity vector is perpendicular to 
the axis of these models and there's going to be constant stress in 
these joints while the figure are in use.
