chill dudes, AC went out today, ugh
anyway, I take an exact o knife used for printing biz, and I make a small incision on the bottom of the clam.
don't cut into the glue area, but right above where the clam starts it's bump up. Very small at that.
follow the clam line to the left and to the right and you will see the clam able to break off the bubble.
carefully slip the figure out. I can do it so well not even visable to the naked eye.
always take figure out from the bottom , never the top.

Nice reveal. I was using an X-acto knife to extract my toys from blisters since the 80's.
I thought this had something to do with that "magic trick" all over Youtube of Hot Wheels collectors showing how they remove their cars with acetone or nail polish remover so they can make customs and place them back in the package.
Tip: It doesn't work if the back of the card is laminated printed. The acetone is applied to the back of the card and seeps through the cardboard until the glue releases. This takes seconds with acetone! A little longer with nail polish.Comment

[QUOTE=LonnieFisher;1374706]A picture with Dracula makes it look small. Looks like the top of his head might rub the inside.

If someone has him and some of the EMCE monsters to compare, do you think Drac's hands are the same as Phantom of the Opera's hands? I'm curious if they are the same hand sculpts. I'm really hoping Drac's whole body is pale, matching the hands and face.Comment
