So question to people who mod etc. Is there some trick to pulling a figure off of the base without ruining it or the base? Had a heck of a time doing it with Ms Marvel as I wanted a Ms Marvel figure for the RPG game we're playing tonight incase we need a figure. We're playing the Marvel Heroic Roleplaying game tonight instead of Pathfinder and I am playing Ms Marvel. Looks like we have Kitty Pryde and Spider-man as well. Not sure who the last guy choose though.

I use a butter knife most of the time, as I can be accident-prone in my impatience when modding sometimes.
Here's another trick that works pretty well thanks to physics: remove the dial from the base and put the base into the freezer for half an hour. The plastic of the figure will contract at a different rate than the plastic of the base and the glue binding them together, making figure removal a little easier.
Hope this helps.

Huh. Never thought of trying that. But a half hour?! I don't know if I could wait that long!
I didn't go to Harvard or Yale but I can kick a man in the crotch as well as any other.

I've had it work well in as little as 10 minutes, but generally I lose track of time doing other stuff and on average the fig is in the freezer for 30 min, ergo...

Leaving for the Tigers vs Yankees game in about 2 hours! Going for the sweep of the damnYankees. I know this is way to straightforward and coherent for an LPC post, but I'm excited and just had to share
I'll be easy to see. I will be the guy in the Tigers jersey and a Tigers cap up in the upper deck. The broke one who wishes the tickets were cheaper or that his friend wasn't so convincing.

you should send him a strand of your hair to put on the x-acto.
I heard Munchoboy's hair was so sharp that one hair could cut the protons off of an atom.

You may think I'm a dreamer, but I'm not.

Yeah, that's more my speed.
