    Removing mattel heads.

    Can anyone supply me with a "trick" on how to remove heads from the retro line of figures without breaking the torso?That pin in the neck is a real pain in the.......neck.
    Thanks.

          Boil and pop. Use a small screwdriver or something to get underneath the neck.

          Did that and it worked with my Luthor.

              What Austin said but make sure to be patient. It will take time and little by little.
              Don't focus on one spot. Rotate slow around to keep from having pressure relegated to one side. Distribute it around but slow and keep adding hot water. Go back and forth.
              I got all mine to be removed easily without damaging the body.
