dissasembling Fighting Furies figures

[Mongoose1983]

Hey everyone,
I was wondering if anybody in here has any knowledge about how to dismantle these mid 70's Matchbox figures. I have a couple of figures and proper donors but can't find a way to dismantle them without destroying their plastic bodies. Anybody in the know? Any help would be very appreciated.
You all have a good Wednesday!

I'll second this question… I have a couple extra Fighting Furies figures that I'd like to customize. Their heads pop off real easy BUT I have no idea how to dismantle the bodies without destroying them. Like Mongoose said, any help is much appreciated.

I haven't done it with these figures but carefully cutting along chest seam would be a good starting place.

Surprisingly with broken Lone Rangers I have taken needle nose pliers and gently opened them inside lower ab of chest cavity then opened them in the oposite direction till I heard a small crack then do it again in another place till parts are pried apart. I would choose a heavily damaged figure to practice on.

Still looking for help with this. There must be somebody in the know in here. Anybody?
