SlushyFrog Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I'm relatively new to Marvel Minimates so I've been going back to pick up the older sets. I put the mask on the Classic Spider-Man's head knowing that it would be difficult to remove. I was able to remove the mask with some struggle, but in the process it peeled off bits of the decal of the Peter Parker face. Is this a common occurrence? Do you just simply avoid putting these masks on? Or is there a method to remove these gingerly. I want to put Shocker's mask on, but I also don't want to damage the face underneath. One compromise I'm considering is putting the masks on spare Minimate heads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I have never peeled off anyone's face trying to get a mask off (that I know of), but you may consider sticking it in the freezer for 10-15 minutes, and then taking the mask off. That works better than anything else I've tried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I think this might explain why my wave 28 Deadpool's face looked all disfigured when I took the mask off. Other than him, I've never heard of this happening before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Two-Face Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 It KINDA happened to my Captain Universe, only when i pulled his mask off he got this bad black streaks on his face. Besides that, nope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyCrypts Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 iv not had it with the full masks and i'v never had any trouble getting the full face masks off apart from wave 5 cap, but my dark avengers wolverine is in a pretty bad shape, with the paint getting scratched off just by putting the mask on and taking it off, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mav-man Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 It happened to my Jubilees face too, when I spun her head around for the face without glasses. Most of her face stuck to the hairpiece! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pawcanada Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 (edited) I have a scratch or two going through one of Classic Peter's eyebrows, which is a tad annoying. Plus I prefer to display them unmasked... Edited August 24, 2010 by pawcanada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgnrbrn316 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 The only one I ever had problems with was Battle Scarred Thing's helmet. I had to wedge that on an extra Thing head since I'd never get it off again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlushyFrog Posted August 24, 2010 Author Share Posted August 24, 2010 thanks so it sounds like it does happen, but occurrences are generally rare. i'll have to try the freezer trick karamazov suggested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
