Hey all; I’m trying to disassemble a fugitive predator and I got it all except the shoulder, elbow, and knee joints. The hinges seem to (somehow?!?!) be molded into the pieces.
Does anyone know how to get the hinges out of them?

I'm trying to pop the shoulder out of a Marvel Universe classic Thor and it will not budge. I've tried the hair dryer and boiling water and it just won't come out. Is there something sneaky going on under the surface, or am I just a big wuss and some how not strong enough to remove it?

Will this method work with the 1st appearance Marvel Figure Gray Hulk? I want take off his head. Will the heat & Pop method work?

I never owned that figure, but if it's built like most ML figures, you should be able to heat the head and just pull it off.

We don't have a specific section for video reviews, but everyone's welcome to submit them. I'm sure you can find video tutorials just by browsing the web.
