Question:
Has anyone cracked open a male Marauder Torso? Is it easy? Any advice? Any tutorials? Thanks in advance. |

I did one arctic male torso. It was pretty simple. I just stuck a pair of screwdrivers into the belly socket and "scissored" them apart to pry both sides away from each other to start the split. After that it was like any other torso crack.

Yeah pretty much what Zap said.
Way easier to crack than a Joe torso. What I do is take small needle nose pliers and put the point in the socket and then pry in opposite directions (front to back) so the pressure pulls apart at the seam. The shoulders use a flat-head, mushroom socket like Joe figures. Some Joe arms are compatible instantly with the MTF socket joint. Jason |

Likewise the female torso too! I need to crack open the upper section and the crotch piece as well for the leg bar.

I cracked a female torso. As opposed to going through the waist, I actually just slid a razor in the shoulder seam and worked it gently apart. It came open with minimal effort and no damage.
