QUOTE(edan1979 @ Mar 10 2009, 02:27 PM) can try put some oil and pull it back slowly... or liquid soap... i've do it once... still totally cannot move Added on March 11, 2009, 1:24 pm QUOTE(erh_teo @ Mar 10 2009, 01:47 PM) if i'm not mistaken those figure is usually pvc, not normal styrene (PS). totally cannot remove, cannot seesorry.. no idea  if a figure is broken, usually u've to sacrifice the movement by gluing it dead end, no more movement. try A+B epoxy glue. but no movement though after the joint is glued. yala.. maybe u wanna open it back see maybe certain area of the plastic is not properly cut, causing friction/blocking the movement.  now i want to get it removed This post has been edited by nicholas84: Mar 11 2009, 01:24 PM |

QUOTE(davelcm @ Mar 11 2009, 01:31 PM) well, try soakin the thing in warm water. hot enuff to touch but not boiling hot til it melts the plastic/rubber joints. then slow do twisting motion on the joint part i.e. slowly twist clockwise a bit, then counter clockwise a bit while pullin the joint out. it won't be easy...but at this moment, i think that's ur best bet. I tried that alreadyput my water heater to max and soak it for abt 15 mins put my hand in and try to twist (dang hot) still cannot... |
