Major Barrage is one of those Joes that Ive had on the back burner for a long time. I was lucky enough to find one at a local comic book shop for about 7 bucks. Given that its not a super rare figure or a classic I got right on updating the MoFo. Its cheap, its easy and it took 15 minutes.
EDIT!!!! Updated the vest and added some pouches and plate carrier, I decided to bust out my diorama building and take some better pictures. Hope everyone likes the final version.

I take a regular razor blade and just go over and into all the seams. You gotta go slow and be careful not to cut into the shoulders or anything else. If that isnt enough you wrap the figure in a towel or thick cloth, grab some heavy vice grips and squeeze from the shoulders in. The force of the shoulders pressing in towards the center of the body crack it open.

Nice. I just hate taking apart torsos. I would totally copy this if I didn't have to take the torso apart.

Thanks guys. Appreciate all the feedback. The torso split is alot easier than it was on the 25th anniv. figures. I dunno if its the glue, the plastic or if they are being more customer friendly to us but Colton came apart within seconds of me cutting into the armpit area.
