I told myself that for months.....then caved and I freaking love the figure. Good luck to you

Ugh. So what you're saying is that I'm fighting an uphill battle??? I guess I could save time....

What leaving your 45 in acetone for 40mins will do. Just in case you guys were wondering.....lol

 

[Invincible]

But.... why?

 

[Rainbowsteve]

I just thought it was the cool thing to do. Isn't everybody doing this with the 45?


Lol, jk. I got a replacement and had to destroy the defective one, for sideshow.

can I have it?

Sorry man, its a liquid goop right now. After those pics were taken, i submerged the whole body in a small tank of acetone and now its a liquid goop. Minus the diecast

 

[Dave_W]

Can we see the diecast parts?

 

[Rainbowsteve]

Lol, those were crushed in a press at my work. They wanted it destroyed, so i went above and beyond. However, the acetone did take the paint clean off the diecast and it had a nice shine to it

Awesome! How do you pop the neck off?

It comes off with enough effort. If you want to use tools but obviously don't want to scratch the paint I suggest using a small flat heat screwdriver with some electrical tape on the end. Pry it off from the back and be sure to take off the chest RT switch/battery cover. Here's a picture of what I'm talking about, works like a charm!

Looks great Craig!

 

[Craig Walker]

Thanks!

Getting neck off: Use a pair of pliers on the ball joint end......gently apply pressure and it pops right off.

I wonder if this can be done with the 42.

I have not tried with my 45 yet but i had no problem doing it it with my 42 and 43. just pops out no tools needed.

 

[irok84]

The 42 is fixed. The 43 had the option to put on and off. I had to ghetto rig my 42.
