Hi all, I figure someone on here might have an idea..... Anyone have any good methods of removing the bases from heroclix/mageknight figures? Thanks Mike

Well, I find that removing bases really does require specialized ortillery assets to... Oh, the figs... Mostly, I just run a sharp knife (pause for appropriate PSA 'don't cut yourself') under a foot or two, maybe a twist of the wrist about half way through, and they pop off nicely. If anything, the MageKnights have trouble staying on their bases. Now, if you're talking the big figs/monsters/vehicles, I really haven't tried to many. Some actually have screws holding them on.

Now, taking apart the actual tanks was another story... :) J On Wed, Mar 4, 2009 at 11:58 AM, Hudak, Michael <mihudak@state.pa.us> wrote: > Hi all,

The glue has always been quite brittle and the foot would just pop free. I've done this with Mage Knight and HeroClix. I've heard of other, more elaborate methods, such as putting the figs in the freezer, but I never found this necessary. martin > Mike writes:
