I really do love how McFarlane designed these. Its almost as if when they were coming up with their figure skeleton/base designs they were aware people would want to customize so they made sure to make it easy to interchange parts. Thank you for making this video. By the end of next month I will have a pile of creepy Dexter like Wonder Woman parts, followed by a Diablo 2 Amazon and a McFarlane Angela. Specifically Last night and Metal Wonder Woman.

Lots of heat, a flat screwdriver and patience…. If it’s like the Superman 1000 it’s just glued down. Two pegs at the front, two pegs at the back…it’s deep set… it’s can take 30min or more with damage to exterior….best to just repaint the neck. You’ll need to re-glue the neck area and allow it to dry before adding the cape

I have an issue with my Hal Jordan green lantern figure. The shoulder joint for the ring arm is stuck in the position it came in the box. The arm rotates, the bicep swivels, and the butterfly joint moves the way it’s supposed to (albeit loosely). Will this work to get that shoulder joint moving up and down? I wanted to ask before I tried it

Use a hairdryer on the shoulder joint for a few minutes- it should loosen the ratchets… if that will not work-- submerge into hot water for 5min…. One of the two methods will loosen the ratchet… Be patient….
