How do I get a Resolute Duke torso split? I can't manage to do it without ruining it.

Holy moly - I've been using the X-acto knife method to open torsos from day one... but I wanted to see if the other ways were better.
I bought a little bench vise and WOW. It is the perfect tool... sort of makes me regret all the times I stabbed my fingers with that lousy x-acto. I've opened like 20 figures without incident when I realised how easy it was. It was only $20 and even though I'm not a handyman, I can probably find other uses for it down the road (crushing bugs, I guess : / ) I recommend everyone gets one : ) Tom |

Ok, so we've discussed for 14 pages on how to open the upper torso. how do I go about crackng open the lower torso? I know somebody asked the question earlier on in this thread, but I don't think it was answered.

So can you put the figure back together the same way it was once you've taken it apart, or does the torso not go back together?

I just want to know if you can pop the upper arms out of their socket using the boil and pop method. I'm planning to do a custom grunt using the arms of a gi joe trooper and placing it on duke comicpack (with redstar) body.

No, they are held in place by the upper torso. You have to pop the upper torso unfortunately.

How do you all pop open the lower torso? I try and I seem to almost bend it out of shape where they almost wont go back together.
