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.
Yes, exact o knife works for me. Very little damage to clam and the back of the blister card still intact. Best way for me.
I've tried a heat gun at work before to melt the glue but it also can burn the card which is worse in my opinion.Cornelius POTA sigpic MEGO of the Planet Of The Apes :ape:

Going to try again, a heat gun and work tomorrow to remove Chekov...we use for shrink wrap for small quantities.
Hard time with the 1970's blisters, but will see with the 2018 blisters. Will report back Mego buddies.Cornelius POTA sigpic MEGO of the Planet Of The Apes :ape:

I'm curious if the ahi Dracula fits in the CTVT coffin?Comment

Believe me these oversize coffins will fit your dollies. How much extra room is the question. Is anyone listening to me? Or have we all decided to ignore me and second guess this issue, like Lonnie? Whatever. Dream on...dream on...dream until your dreams come true.Comment

Checking on the AHI for sizing is a good question too, since their bodies are a bit "bloatier".Comment
