De-Keychaining
I have a Rex keychain, and I am attemping to convert it into a normal Rex. I have tried Count's technique, but even my dad, who has got the strenght of me X10 can't do it. Are there any alternates?

Re: De-Keychaining
There's a way of doing it in the decals & Techniques area. I'll see if I can find it.

Re: De-Keychaining
Hmm, just found the thread, and that also uses the count technique. Apparently, the new keychains are stronger, and for that reason the technique does not work.
What I did, is simply cut off the top part with some pliers (I have a complete blackout on how to spell that at the moment)

Re: De-Keychaining
For what it's worth, here's my needlessly complicated method:
I freed my Ahsoka keychains (don't ask) by rigging up a contraption with a vice and a giant paperclip. Our vice has wooden pads on the inside that stick out a bit at the top, so I drilled a little hole through the pads, threaded the pulled-out paperclip through and secured one end to a pad, one end through the minifig loop (the minifig should be resting against the pad, with the pin inside the drilled hole). Then I undid the vice, making it wider and wider, until the pin popped out. Did you get all of that, or do I need to draw a diagram?

Yea, I just saw off the upper piece of the pin and then paint it. I did this at a Royal Guard, Snowtrooper and now CW Count Dooku.
I don't really care if you can dissemble them, it's the fig itself that counts.
