According to my contacts at Playmobil, the answer is "No". The 123 series is designed for children under 3 who like to put things in their mouths and so the last thing Playmobil want is the figures being easily taken apart or even being taken apart with difficulty. I imagine that the figures could be taken apart in practice but that the end result would be a pile of very battered bits and pieces which couldn't be used again.

I know i have a few hair pieces from 123 so I know that those come off. Now how they came off is a different story as i received them in misc. lots off ebay . I would just say grab some tools and start operating

I think it is possible, but certainly not as easy as disassembling a normal Playmobil figure.
A PlaymoFriends member posted a pic of an "exploded" 1-2-3 figure on another forum once.
I've just done a quick search but I can't find it.
Maybe he still has the photo - I'll ask. ;)

I hate not being able to find something that I'm certain I've seen. :P
Searching 123, 1-2-3 and 1*2*3 turned up zero posts so I had to try another tack. 8}
Anyway, I have now attached the pictures I was talking about.
They were first posted by Richard at Playmoboard in 2004. :)
The first shot is a custom where he put a 1-2-3 head on the body of a normal klicky. I believe he had to trim a bit of the head pin in order to get them to fit together.
The second is the exploded view showing all the inner workings of a 1-2-3 figure.

not lookin very easy...

Looks like you just have to rip the head off.
Tie one end to your car's fender and the other end to your neighbor's rain gutter and I bet it will come off.
The rain gutter, I mean.

Are the 123 figures the ones that have plugs in the hair to attach to the head? I received one in a lot from EBay and tried to take it apart like the others but it was not easily done! Once I had it apart and I saw the plug in the hair I thought I had a knockoff or mutant on my hands.
Live and learn!

They are extremely cute. I have boxes and boxes of them in my loft because my kids have now outgrown them.
Surely you're not considering enlisting them into your Playmo army too? ;)
