Advice on head removal?

[Decky123]

I want to take the head off a Hasbro 12" At At driver but it seems to be on there good.

Is boil and pop the best method to removing the 12" Hasbro heads or is there a trick I'm missing?

I usually find that a fine-toothed Stanley hacksaw can really work wonders with the gristle and bone that. . .oh, wait. Nevermind.

hot water or hair dryer

Funny, i was thinking the exact same thing, tho i find a nice diamond tipped circular saw works wonderes as well.....

As for plastic heads, hot water or the hair-dryper unless you own a multi-grade heat gun...

Five minutes in boiling water should do the trick...

Boiling hot water is the best as hairdryers can sometimes melt things as ive learnt before lol.

Thanks guys. I think I'll try the hot water popping it off.

What head is it..? The hasbro AT AT.... rip it OFFFFF...

With any of the rubbery plastic you can heat them up and they will become really malleable. I always steam boots off and on if they are tight.

The only plastic that really does not seam to like being boiled is the SideShow armour.. 20-30 seconds.. or it can shrink and warp... very upsetting.

I don't have the muscles to rip it off lol

I've only tried to remove a head from 1 Hasbro figure before: the OTC Stormtrooper.

I grabbed it, and I pulled it. It came right off with a little elbow grease.

the best way for me is a hair dryer heat it up slowly and not to hot then it will pop right off
