Killek Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 I am wondering if any of you have a trick for safely removing "Stretch Punch" Mr. Fantastic's head from his long neck. I am now on my second figure as in trying to remove it the first time it ripped the neck joint clean off the neck. Any help would be appreciated.

karamazov80 Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Stick it in the freezer for 15 minutes and see if it comes off any easier. Or, take the opposite approach and put it in boiling water for a few minutes and see if it comes off. But don't try to force it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thereasonsy Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 I didn't have issues but I remember reading soaking it in hot warm did the trick. Anybody confirm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killek Posted July 6, 2013 Author Share Posted July 6, 2013 Heating it up worked like a charm. Thank you gentlemen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zexion_Armando Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Yeah, I just super glued it back on and went on with my business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigvis497 Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 (edited) Use the hot water trick. Freezing works for tight joints, but I've been through a few of these and it's not a tight joint issue, the paint from the joint sticks inside the head. I've boiled three of these so far and none have broken. Good luck. Edited July 6, 2013 by bigvis497 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtd20_2000 Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Luckily, I purchased a custom case from Luke so I had three Mr. Fantastic's. Two of the Mr. Fantastic's were fine, but one of them did the same thing as yours, so you were not alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
