      Shame those coffins are so expensive.

        Denial, is the best way to go. Just don't believe your eyes. Ignore me, and make up your own mind. Pttttt! photoshopped. Just keep dreaming.

          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.

            Oh look, you can put the figure way higher in the coffin. Dream on! Dream bigger. :P

              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.

                  Sounds good, and if you do get a Bela Dracula please take a pic or two of it, because I'm guessing the CTVT coffins will be to small, but I have been wrong before and guess it wouldn't surprise me if I was wrong again.

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

                    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.

                      Last couple of years DollarTrees have had well made cardboard coffins at Halloween. They seem to be about 8inch scale. I forget the price though.

                          I believe you. They are, basically, a little roomy. By the time lining and a pillow (or dirt) is added it just might be perfect.

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

                            Could you please take a picture with a different Mego figure so we can see how big they really are?
