    ^^^seriously, do you want to remove them to use on something else or do you want to replace them with your own emblem?

    If it is the latter, I would suggest simply putting your new emblem over the old.

    Other than the brief movie reference (FACE/OFF) he wants to get the emblem off
    When I .... how do you say (?) .... think of my mindframe on this spaceplane, I'm Skywalker with my X-Wing like I was when I was a kid.

    Not sure about the Hasbro ones, but the retro ones pretty much peel off...if they are sticking, hit them with a shot of steam to release the glue.
    In the case of the Flash, his emblem will steam off/peel off...but his stripes seem to use a different process...I doubt they will come off easy at all!

    I'm assuming your doing Flash? I was thinking of that myself..wish you could buy the matty body suits like Flash and Manta use seperately.

    I got the Face Off reference . Creepy great flick!
    usually I just peel and peel on those kinda emblems, I use up my fingernails and the material seems the worse for wear. Good luck with a tip.

    Thank you Captain and TrueDave! Will try the steam technique. I really appreciate your inputs. Ah, and yes, that was a short mention of FACE OFF the movie played by Nicholas Cage and John Travolta...
