25th Anniversary Joe Disassembly Guide?

[NoisyDvL5]

I looked at the page this morning for the screwdriver tip and then came back tonight and saw your pics!

I figured out that I'm having trouble because the peg on the ball joint is hard plastic and that's why I cant' get it hot enough to pop.

I'm just going to have to disassemble the upper torso to get the arms outs methinks.

Thanks for the pics!

Yeah, Exacto knife works on Gung-Ho, but it could hurt your fingers!

Whoops, I've just been misunderstanding everything you say

Yeah the only way to get the upper arms out is by cracking the Torso open

I tore up Roadblock popping the upper torso open, but I went in through the chest cavity so it'll stay hidden.

Thanks for the help!

Sometimes the size of the screw driver has to vary according to the space between the chest cavity and the lower torso. The screw driver pictured in this thread is far to big for Gun Ho, but perfect for Destro. You really have to use your best judgement on this one.

I just destroyed my Gung-ho! OH NO!

I put the screwdriver in and twisted & it totally screwed up his back. I think I am doing something wrong...

[fan_again]

i've completely snapped roadblock n half , destroyed snakeyes completely and broke gung hos back off

Well, I just succeeded in taking Gung-ho apart and putting him back together. Yay me! Now his arms are correct! Yay him!

It helped a lot to pop Destro first; I had an extra from the comic pack so I gave him a whirl. That helped me see where the pegs holding the torso together are.

For G-H, I had tried to pop the torso a couple times and knew the plastic was just too soft. So, this time I just cut, using a very thin, very sharp knife. Very carefully along the seams under his armpit. Then, with the little bit of flexibility that gave me, along the seams on top of his shoulders and through the pegs.

It's the bottom torso I struggle with, but since I always cut it off at the hip afterwards so I can use classic hip pieces, it's never a problem.

Just so I can log in the information into my brain, any way to take the bottom torso piece apart without ruining it?
