I recently bought several Fiends of Slaneesh through the Swap Shop to find that their legs all were pinned on backward. After much wiggling, prying, and bending, I'm left with one stubborn Fiend whose legs just won't budge. The metal's starting to weaken near the ankles so I've decided to stop fussing with them before irreparable deformation occurs. Any ideas?

On the upside, it does make him appear to be rearing up on his hind legs...and that's kinda neat.

go to Walmart and buy Super Clean in the automotive section. it is great for stripping models and weakening glue bonds of CA glue and superglue. i bought some OOP metal Ravenwing speeders and put them in Super Clean right out of the package and a few days later i took them out. the paint fell completely off and the Super Clean weakened the glue so much the models fell apart into their individual bits, plus it turns glue a white color so its easy to spot for removal. the glue just flaked off with no effort.

Thanks, I think I'll have to try that. The freezer treatment hasn't made any noticable difference thus far.
