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.

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.

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. |

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.
