I use a table vise. Basically, you wrap the figure in fabric (an old sock works well) and then put it in the vise so that the vise is pressing on its shoulders (arms pointed straight down). Then, just close the vise until it pops open. Easiest way I've found. Never had any problems (breaking or what-have-you).
That's a very interesting technique.
Any chance you could do a tutorial for it, for the JCWiki?
Also, what kind of mods did you do to T-Shirt Hawk's hands to make them fit into Jacket Hawk's wrists? I've noticed the hand pegs on the two are very different.
Yeah, I've been planning on doing a tutorial on it for awhile now. It's not my idea originally, I forget who first suggested it. But next time I need to crack open a figure, I'll take some pictures.
As far as the hand swap, I had to trim the pegs on the t-shirt hawk hands and then *slightly* increase the size of the holes on the Pit hawk arms.
