I meant the light-skin coloured naked torsos I have been waiting fior are like these egyptians and africans, which can be fitted easily on regular legs....I dont wish to trucate anymore speedo dads,,,,so the new tattooed pirate is like these africans...all I need to do is wipe off the nice tattoos  :P :(

cheng,
Cool bare top pirates! Which set are they from and how do you get the tatoos off without messing up the finish?
You are absolutely correct saying that we need this torso, but I think everything now should come as easily taken apart as the 5203 and 5204 collectibles.
Love your latest photo, Pgal :wave:

but you'll also wipe off their chest hair and nipples.... is there a way to spot-remove the tatoos without taking away anatomical parts?  what are you using to wipe them?  rubbing alcohol?

I use pinesol....but it's a bit harsh and sometimes seems to dry out thinner plastics.

btw....when will you show us how you disassembled the bikini torso?  do tell!!!
Ahoy, Pirates, Hoist the Colours!

hey BlackPearl!
from those I see, specialist is very good at rubbing off specific prints leaving behind buttons or some colours...
as for me, rubbing of prints are against my own rules...but when i get my hands on these tattooed pirates, if.....quite difficult and I might stare at them for a year or two before I can break my own rules....and only if i can get moe than 1  :P

disassemble bikini torso? I think I just pulled...both speedo dad and the swimsuit beauty...no special techniques...its looser now and comes off easily

...I for one don't like the existing mermaids because they have regular clicky tops (which look like they have shirts on with a coat tail over-hanging the rear.)  I myself have purchased a bikini clicky to customize into a better looking mermaid....

can you please show me a link to your custom using the mermaid torso? I'll like to see her back if you dont mind sharing  ;)

Yeah the swimsuit klickys can be disassembled using the rubberband method or pliers or any method that involves just pulling the head off.
