I also have a question, can anyone tell me how to pull apart the standard Gijoe figures, like rise of cobra style ones. i worked out how to pull the legs off but i was getting arms the other day and i ended up destroying the torso to the point of no return to get the arms. just wondering if theres a better to do it without butchering half my figure in the process lol.

thanks Rusty.

Rusty, I split Joe torsos by cutting the seam at the arm to neck, then arm pit to the bottom. Always use a sharp blde on your exacto knife. Then the other side can be pried open with a screwdriver. Some people put the figure in a sock with the top folded down to double up on the arm area leaving the top of the head poking out. Then put the sock and figure in a small bench vice with each arm against the plates of the vice. tighten down until you hear a pop, loosen the vice and your torso and arms will be in the sock. Good luck and if you use the first way please be careful and always cut away from yourself. If it feels sketchy try something else you can cut yourself badly.

It is a good quality razor blade type knife/precision cutting tool. I have several different ones I use for different applications. I just got a new set for christmas that has a really nice handle and several interchangable blades.

Ok cool I have seen these at a hobby shop, might buy some next time im there and have a go. I basically just use a razor blade, but they arent very good for hard cutting, just soft stuff.

Yeah, the new version of Sora Bulq looks very streamlined: you've translated the look from the comic very well.  The choice of kama/skirt(?) is nice; what fig did that come from?

Light side, dark side...meh.  Just give me a lightsaber and a blaster and I'll take care of it!
