Need advice on removing Comic Destro's head

[Vagabond Elf]

I want to swap Comic Destro's shiney head onto the 5-Pack version, but I'm having trouble getting it off. (The regular one came off just fine.)

My big concern is I don't want to damage the finish. Otherwise I'd simply get some tools to increase the leverage.

Anyone have some advice on how to pull this off without marring it?

the way I did mine was, turn his head around backwards, Carefully place a small screwdriver under his chin and his head should pop right off.

now after making my first post, I shall return to my lurker status.

I did this with mine and it was a little tight at first, but after I moved it around a bit it came off fine. I would just move it side to side and then put your thumb under his chin and lightly push. It will pop loose.

Perfect way to describe how to remove any of the 25th heads.TAC( TAC(

Mine was also really, really tight. I bathed him in hot water down to the neck, then got some leverage under the chin, not with a screwdriver, but by using the rim of a (sturdy) coffee mug; wedged it under the chin and pulled gently, but firmly. Pop.

That's exactly what I did! :D

For popping apart all my 25th figures I just use my teeth. Of course, I end up with toothmarks in the plastic and I think I've swallowed a combined 1.25 figures. But it works!!

I put his head in a vice and pull.

J/k I would do it just like how everyone ^ said to do. :D

I noticed it was tighter than the other destro. I just put my thumb under his chin like the other one and just used more force to pop it off.

I just got a good grip on mine with my thumb and forefiner and yanked as hard as I could. I wouldn't reccomend submerging it in water- I seem to remember the vac metalized toys of my youth having a corosive reaction to being submerged.

Aha! Got it. For some reason the "chin as lever" bit had never occurred to me.

Now I just need to obtain suitable tools to pop Gung-Ho's torso apart and fix his arms. Tried just prying with the screwdriver (since the vest would cover any damage) but no luck, so I'm going to need to find a wedge and mallet I think.
