...have torsos that are seriously friggin hard to crack open. The standard methods (Hasbro's method, the Xacto method, and the screw driver method) don't really work, due to the construction used on them.
I had to work the lower torso until it popped out of the top part, then take a dremmel to the chest cavity. Anyone else have any luck gettign these things open? |

Popped one open with Channel Locks and duct tape...no problems. Stuck the figure in an old sock, put pressure with the locks on the shoulders and "pop"...all is well. I wrapped the duct tape around the ridges of the Channel Locks so they don't live marks on the figure.

I popped one to get the arms off for my Firefly with the vice method.

Right there with you on that one. The CG I needed part of came right apart with the screw driver trick, so he wasn't too bad, but I'd have f'd my customs right up if I wasn't using the Resolute Troop's vest. It hides some of the scarring.
