Title: Speedodad dismantling
Post by: conniefrere on October 21, 2012, 07:00:48
Hi everyone,

I thought there was a thread once describing how to disamble speedodad. This would also hold for the new indians. I've searched the forum, but don't seem to find it anymore. Could anyone tell me how to take these type of klickies apart?

Hey Jan!
Just like any other clicky, pull the head off with pliers. Wrap the head with kitchen paper so the jaws of the pliers don't bite the plastic.

Thank you Arnoud. I normally, carefully remove the legs using something thin and flat and put on other legs. Then I apply the Hans on method.

But I can try this.

Forgot to mention: twist the head to one side before pulling. :)

Thank you both,

I used a rubber band to remove the head. When I use pliers I always have scratches on the head.  >:(

After dismantling I realised the torso would not fit to normal legs..... :wall: :wall:
There goes my idea of switching torso's.

Yeah, it takes some work and customizing to make them fit. Btw, I heard a simple tip from Bill to keep pliers from scratching the head... just take a small piece of rubber tubing from the playmobil firehoses and stretch it over the tips of the needlenose pliers. Works like a charm, though it has to be replaced frequently.

Great idea, could try that one time! Thanks!

best way I've found for dismantling speedo-dad is to just grab his head and rip it off with the thumb and fore-finger... but I know that won't work from everyone, so good luck  :lol:

So far, there's not much I can do with these skinny bodies... We don't have enough options :(

There's like.. 4 on the popbox! It will probably take years to be able to actually have some valid options.

there'll be more options sooner or later...Fi?ures like the cheerleader and new native americans...our older klickies will surely start to envy these slimmer newbies...I just hope I dont one day have a urge to swop all those straight torsos we have been amassing :P (I'm resisting buying those new native americans because of this)

Yeah... I'm starting to feel like Hollywood is even influencing our klickys! They've gotten a lot skinnier with these new bikini bodies.

The new indians remind me of Airgam.. So do the skinny women with skirts... Not that I don't like Airgam (LOVE the guys, actually... women were always weird, a very LATE addition to playkingdoms), but.. playmobil should be playmobil...
