Figure undergoes major surgury...

I don't trust the methods of using a hammer or pliers or something to quickly separate the body. What I do is just use an exacto knife to carve away slowly the seam on one side of the figure. Sometimes I'll carve away on the other side too, just to make sure that when the sides give way, it'll give way where I want it.

This always troubles me too, so before beginning, I always make sure I have a duplicate of the figure incase it gets messed up.
