    Removing the figures from the card

    Has anyone removed any of the figures from the card without distroying the card art??? If so how did you do it. The only thing that I can think of that may work is leaving them in a very warm dry place(worked with my Skylanders but they sat for about 6-8 months)

    I thought they were on resealable clamshells. Collector friendly and all that.

      If you have a pair of nail clippers, you can typically reach in, clip the plastic ties and remove the figure without damage to the product or card.

        I think he is talking about that insert which holds the figure...it is glued down to the backer card.

          Exactly

          If I remove it it will tear the card art

            I just cut around the interior insert with an x-acto knife. it leave some plastic on the card...but you can't really see it when the clamshell is closed.

              The twist ties on the Robin I repaired were loose enough to slip the figure out without a problem.
              Fresh, not from concentrate.

                Try a hairdryer Kev.... I used to open packs of cards (like Baseball cards) and so as not to tear the wrapper I would use a hair dryer. Might not work, but worth a shot.....
