25th CG troubles

well... I just found a CG about an hour and a half ago. I'd been plotting to use one for a custom for some time.

Well I got him out of the package, turned him around and prepared to do the ole screwdriver-ectomy... but found two problems

a) there isn't much space between the upper and lower body

b) ever time I try to turn it, the skrewdriver mangles the plastic


Does anyone have any suggestions?

What I do is take my X-acto knife and run it along the seams under the arms to break it apart a bit then pop it with the screwdriver. I pop it from under the arm too so that if there is any damage to the plastic its not noticable.
