Unfortunately the last few years worth of figures have been truly awful and I only buy the odd one.

A sharp stanley knife is the best bet to get them off their 'clicky-base' but it depends on how they;re attached. The latest models are sculpted onto a black rectangular base, which is hard plastic deep inside so can be very difficult to cut without damaging the model.Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391427662737871662.post-25703810512385478662014-12-27T17:30:04.845-06:002014-12-27T17:30:04.845-06:00Thanks Dave :-)Thanks Dave :-)Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391427662737871662.post-58022248608701731472014-12-27T17:29:53.331-06:002014-12-27T17:29:53.331-06:00Cheer Tamsin.
