Reposing action figures?

[Forbidden Zone]

Hey guys and gals...

I am really new to this...playing around with some action figure conversion ideas. I got a question for everyone.

Anyone out there doing serious reposing on action figures...those from McFarlane and the like? I was wondering what sort of tools you're using to cut that hard rubber?

Thanks,
Mike

I know when I cut the head of a Snake Plissken McFarlane
figure, I used my dremel and a cutting disk. The cutting disk
cut right throught the neck like butter and the head
was released from the body. A little clean up of the plastic
that gathers from cutting but thats about it.

Oh yea a thing to remember is were safety glasses,
cause the cutting disks shatter alot....

Thanks for that little tip Tom, I would not like to have discovered this the hard way.

Mike, whatever the figure I just pile in with a junior hacksaw. Goes through no sweat.

I find that the dremel is the best/fastest tool. Also, if I can, I heat the figure up with a hair dryer or boiling water, then pull the appendage off at the peg. Makes it easier to reposition/cut. Heat 'er back up, and plug 'er back in when you're done!
