Has anyone taken apart 25A figures? Can they be taken apart?
I have a Gung-Ho with backwards arms I'd like to fix but they seem to be attached pretty good. I had a hell of a time taking Duke's leg (http://www.joedios.com/dioramas/showimage.php?i=17162&catid=member&imageuser=2633) apart and I'm afraid of doing permanent damage to the arms. :(

there is an overview picture somewhere... I'll mail it to you if someone doesn't post it soon.
It works, but its a lot of work (at least for me) - but I have no experience taking apart the ARAH either, only thing I did with those was change the O-rings from time to time.
bravo

take a flat head screw driver hit the back of the toy and twist it should pop open, or hit it with a hammer not to hard,

Thanks, it worked. Got a little damage on the seams but his vest will cover it.
I understand why customizers prefer ARAH figures, they seem like Lego compared to 25As. It felt like I was on the verge of destroying the figure the whole time. But Gung-Ho is tough, he came through ok. I won't be trying that again.
