That looks EXACTLY the same as a regular torso piece I have in my hand right now. However, the regular piece is white, and that one is brown, ergo it's reasonable to assume it's made from a different kind of plastic that may be more pliable and consequently easier to pull apart.

You can't see the difference, Luciano?  ??? On a regular one, like the one I have in my hand right now, the part that holds the head has straight edges, so that it hooks the head and holds it in. On this one, the transition is gradual, so that the head would slide out. It's hard to describe, but it's the same principle as the triangular catch on a doorknob that allows you to close it while it is locked, but not to open it.

You're right, I see it now!
The regular white one has "sharp" edges, while this brown one has "blunt" edges. I guess that would be enough to keep the head in place but still allow easy disassembly.

If it was up to me, ALL klickies would come like that 8-).

I can only say this: Playmobil finally realised that there are people who are willing to collect a lot of their toys, and even customise them... What better way to persuade more people to become collectors/customisers than producing sets that can be collected in quantity and customised in a great variety!

Yes, I would love to see this be a permanent change! ;D It's very subtle, and wouldn't cause any problems with mixing and matching, unless the head is different, too, which I don't know, and it would make customizing SOOO much easier!

Heads used to pop out easily in the 80s. I was an utter wimp as a child, and yet I could still swap parts without any problem whatsoever.

Very nice, as long as the heads don't pop out too easily either.
I woudn't want my armies or shipcrews to be decapitated with each slightest gunfire-induced tremble.... 8}  ;D

Just thought of something...
As some people have succeeded ordering parts from Specials (no instructions so no parts-numbers included in a set) from their DS-service... and these Mystery Figures come disassembled in their packages,
theoretically it should be possible to....ORDER EVERY SINGLE PART FROM DS??
So not only a hat or a cuff, but also a wig, a head, a pair of arms or legs, etc....!? If one phones DS when in a bought Mystery Pack the legs of the figure are "missing", could you get/buy a spare pair and possibly get to know the part-number? That would be great if it would work.

That would be great, if that's the case. I was noticing the other day that playmodb has quite a few different kinds of hair inventoried now. I'm going to have to try ordering some. I really need some more non-hat hair.
