    How can I remove El Presidente's head from his body without chopping/ruining the neck?

    And does anybody know what type of figure this is?

        A very thin flat bladed screwdriver between the bottom of the neck and ball joint should do the trick.

        They look like Sideshow or Dragon bodies.

            Thanks, guys! That means a lot to me.

            Here's what I found out: The bearded fellow is a 21st Century Toys Ultimate Soldier

            The Prez is currently on an In The Past Toys figure

            Ian, I was able to pop off the head nicely (and cleanly) on the bearded guy but I pulled it off the neck with the entire ball joint, and I didn't know how to put it back on...so I went at it with a screw driver. Maybe I will try a little heat. I just want to make sure that I am able to put the head back on...I have some ape buddies that would like a copy and I thought I would try my hand at molding/casting.

            I'm no longer happy with El Presidente Mego scale. I think I'm going to re-do, which will give me more practice.

                    OK...if you guys don't mind me posting! This is 1/6 scale (because I recently bought a box of 10 naked figures that I wanted to convert to apes)...

                    Here is Dr. Maximus before makeup:


                    And in progress. I re-did his muzzle so he looks a little better now and he's got bangs. If I can find my camera I will post photos of him tonight.

                        I also started work on this many months ago. Hopefully by the time I really get back to it, my Lawgiver is going to rock.

                            The head wouldn't budge so I decided to slit it open with a very sharp knife before proceeding too far with the sculpt:


                            His new muzzle looks much better:


                            I put dreadlocks on him, too: But decided it looked weird so I combed it out:

                              This is a custom Dr. Zaius shirt that I made last night. It's the first time I ever sewed a Mandarin collar on an outfit, and I'm so happy with how it looks! The customer needed his shirt extended to make it more movie accurate. I just put together the hat for the quick photo session. I hate my camera.
