I cracked open my first 25th figure today. I'm working on a Hiss driver for my custom Hiss that I am building. I first tried the flat blade screw driver in the back and twist method......did not work. I eventually held a small flat tip screwdriver in the armpit right along the seam and smacked it a few times with a small hammer. The seam separated and I slowly worked my way around the upper torso till completely came apart.

So, I tried the screw driver method on Ace, and all it did was pop off the whole chest section intact. Any ideas on how I can get that section apart to get to the upper arms?
EDIT: I ended up solving that problem, now I need to know what is the best way to sand down arms if they don't fit into the socket right? the arm I wanna use is a little bigger in the shoulder and won't let the chest close up right. Should I cut down the main shoulder part on the chest piece or sand down the shoulder at the arm?

New question, any one know how to get arms back into Indiana Jones figures? I popped off some arms to use the jacket, but want to pop on new arms so I can use the shirt and tie.

Does anyone have a how-to or tutorial about disassembling the Hasbro Indiana Jones figures?

Get whatever joint you're taking apart hot either with hot water or a hair dryer. Twist & pull. Repeat until figure is dismantled.

Tried the exacto and 1 finger slice later, I found a method that works for me. On the figure that I'm not going to use the arms on I exacto the arms off at the shoulder joint so that the torso can lay flat on its side and then hammer a small flathead into the arm socket hole. Worked like a charm. And if the joints seem lose due to size variation or any damage i line the inside of the upper torso with sculpey to tighten it up a little more.

i have found that by taking the legs off all the way first, then use either a strainer or something mesh bring a pan of water to a boil and then put the figure in the water.only leave it in there for20 seconds at the most then use a x-acto knife on both sidesto gap it dont cut to far then use a 1/2" blade like a pocket knife to widen the gap i say a 1/2"blade so when you pop it apart or wiggle it you don't leave marks or dig into the shoulderyou do it this way you usually have the peg holes in the upper torso to use to glue them back together. thats how i do it . later

Awesome! The channel lock method worked like a charm! Custom Mercer is on the way!
Any tips on how to take apart Indy figures? |
