Here's Hasbro's explanation on how to take the chest apart:
1. Take anniversary figures head and legs off, so only torso and arms remain. (Legs have screws, head, lower arms and hands pop off) 2. Use either corner of table or block of wood with 90 degree angle and place the torso side that has the parting line on corner. 3. Take a rubber mallet, or small hammer, and hit the seam on the shoulder, cracking it open like a walnut. 4. Sides should split allowing for custom arms to fit into joints, glue back together with super glue. Exacto Knife Method Use an exacto knife to cut into the seam of the chest (Usually start at the bottom or in the arm pit) Then pry the torso apart with a small flat-tipped screwdriver (Sometimes this will leave a gap between the torso halves, hence why you do it in a typically unseen area) Screwdriver Method (Thanks to Kimiyo) Take a flat head screwdriver and insert the flat tip in between the upper back torso and lower back torso and give it a twist (Warning!!! Many members have had problems with this method so it may be only a last resort type of thing) You HAVE to crack open the torso to change out the upper arms. However, to change out the lower arms, hands or feet. You can run the some hot water from the faucet over the part and pull it out. This is also known as "Boil and Pop" The Head will come off if you apply enough pressrue under the chin, pushing upwards |
