My popper...

You're not disturbing hauden_lukas!

This doesn't take long - I just need to replace the line when it breaks.. Of course nothing beats just doing it with your hand!  I wish I could just do that, but I can't... (now I feel dumb!)

And the great majority aren't kids, or fat guys or the old style women. So that'd be a LOT better most of the time...

Removing legs however, besides a hassle, marks the torsos. We used to do that some, before that was the extent we could go...

I think I have now broken 3 sets of legs on the slam down method. I have done it hundreds of times but when the new thin ankled boots arrived I started breaking feet off. This neck tie party method will be usefull to me and I plan on using it with our 80 lbs test line

Thank you very much for the info and for going through the trouble of making pictures of every step, tahra!! I'll be trying this as soon as possible.

Actually for kids it's enough to just hold the body firmly and twist the head to one side while pulling at the same time. The head pops out quite easily without any damage.
For the legs, I hold them at a 65° angle and put my thumb in the gap where the backside is supposed to be. Then I kind of push the leg-piece out like that, twisting it to one side while holding the body in place.
When the legs are gone, the inside frame can be pulled out with ease and the arms fall out when doing so.

A few simple clicks put them back together and they're not harmed in any way.

Forgot to add something... I will NOT take ANY responsability of whatever you decide to do with such knowledge!

I could never do that..   The cape+beard thing, when it works is... Gods. AWESOME.

... although... I was a bit afraid that I'd pull out the handle... But since it's to be replaced anyways...

This topic should be a sticky! Its one of the most asked questions when it comes to customizing playmobil figures!

I use this:



It may look rough but it works perfectly. So far I've popped about 50 kliickies without any damage.
