Playmobil uses hot glue most of the time. I usually take a screwdriver and get rid of it. If it sticks too heavy you can deepfreeze it- the glue becomes brittle and is easy to remove.

It's just the same thing with the glue as cleaning candle holders from melted wax. Just put it in the freezer for a couple of hours and it can be removed easily afterwards.

Good luck testing it!

I'd never thought of freezing either, Could it doesn't damage the plastic if left too long?

The klickies feet and some otehr bits are glues rather strongly , i guess using a hair pistol with hot hair and pint it to them for a few secs can melt the glue ???
