HOW TO: Remove body parts on Marvel Legends Spider-Man 6" action figures

[@mickeyperdomo1324]

Thanks for taking the time to make a video you hate making. It really means a lot, to me at least if no one else, that you're willing to share and encourage us to make our own customs. I actually subscribed to your channel a few months ago because of a video like this one because I have a couple ideas floating around in my head and it showed me that it's not impossible or complicated. Love your work. Love your videos. Keep up the hard work.

[@Poundz978]

mickey perdomo I'm glad that video helped you out a bit, thank you for subbing and coming by again!

[@fud1238]

I found it very helpful as well. I struggle with the thighs and the shins/calves.

This is the most informative video in the community. I can't tell you enough how helpful this. Just to see what the pieces look like on the I side of the joins was so beneficial. Seriously bro thank you

[@clutch4248]

Thanks for taking the time out of your day to help us beginners out! Just started to do customs and your videos are very informative. Keep up the great work!

[@buki671]

I appreciate the time you took to make this video. I’m currently watching your other how to videos. I’m venturing in to the customization zone and this helped a lot.

[@cincuento07]

Hombre I know you don't like doing these but I'm glad you did. I just did my first custom following your painting tips. Thanks for this one!

[@Poundz978]

Michael Villarreal nice man! Thanks for watching

[@martinmartucci9071]

This video was amazingly helpful. You make it look so easy. I was able to take several figures apart by following your instructions. Well done.

[@fernandowada7504]

I think this is very cool and generous of you. Your customs are great and your tutorials are easy to comprehend (and maybe replicate :D )

[@Weakestsuace]

I wanted to watch this because I’m going to make a custom figure of the symbiote spiderman so thanks for making this video I appreciate it a lot!

[@linojoelsap1366]

Thanks for making this video. I just did my first repaint and needed a video to remove parts for my next custom. So much appreciated

[@Poundz978]

Darth Sap is glad this video helped! Anytime man!

[@linojoelsap1366]

@@Poundz978 Still having trouble with that forearm peg. Thinkin I didnt heat it enough. But, got most of the pieces off.

These kinds of videos makes the customizing hobby more fun and special! Keep 'em coming bro!

[@Murcielampirez]

Thankyou so very much. I wanted to exchange toes with a couple of figures, and i did not know the "anatomy" of the toy. So this video was very helpful to me; once again thankyou for taking the time and sharing the knowledge uploading this video.

[@joshgilkinson8783]

Thanks man, I was terrified of breaking an arm off but thanks to this video I fixed my figure

[@Kaine2099]

Cool Hope this gets plenty of views like the others

[@vinylninja00]

Poundz...Are all or most figures like this? What about the newer Marvel Legends figures, do they operate on this same peg system? And what about the hands? I've noticed that they've changed the hands a bit so how do you know which figures are compatible? Should I just remain in the same figure line and swap hands like that? 🧐

[@2007suprasport]

I just subed, bro your so right. There's really no right or wrong way and like you said anyone can do it. It just the time, great video!

[@cesarcastillo9767]

Have u done a removal of the water arms on hydroman or the 6 arm Spider-Man?

[@jonathanvanplew685]

Use a punch to take out the pins...they're flat tipped, and come in multiple sizes in a set! Also know as a machinist/metal punch set. Keep up the great customs and videos!

[@tired-musubi]

thank you, man ! this is the video that's gonna help me really make my marvel legends Shang-Chi be a top tier figure gonna forearm swap with Wenwu to give him the 10 rings

[@nameless_space04]

Awesome vid and really helpful. Direct to the point and easy to understand. Thank you!

[@paullutz457]

I have a king pin BAF, the knee joint will not move at all. It looks like there’s extra paint on the pivot joint. I’ve done everything I can to remove the extra paint. I’ve used a hair dryer to try and free the joint. It won’t move.

[@kevinbacon7772]

Let’s go informative asf appreciate you brother

[@Poundz978]

Anytime 😊

[@troyjohnson220]

Thank you. Very helpful. I am going to be doing some custom figures. Appreciate it.

[@x-man9141]

I've been waiting for this for a while thank you so much

[@Transfixed]

Good tutorial! A nail set works well for removing pins without damage.

[@xeno8484]

Thank you brother I was able to fix my 80th Ironman with your help I appreciate the advice

[@deltaoscar1054]

Thank you bro, I am currently disassembling may baf toybiz apocalypse, I managed to remove some peg and pins, but I am stucked now at the square pin on the knees and elbow, and also at the shoulder and hip hinge joint.

[@patfromak]

Great video! Would like to see you take apart a female fig. If you want of course. Thanks for all the great info you give us. It’s really appreciated. I know I watch your vids a lot and continuous. Lots to learn

[@rayzeromx]

Thank you man, I can make my custom thanks to you.

[@Heyyou513]

This was helpful thank you... quick question what do you do after you’re finished paint the figure? Concerned about putting it back together and not have loose joints

[@SkunkLifeMedia]

Can you heat and pop arms out of male bodies like you can do with female ones? I was wondering that recently as I been doing more female body work its pretty easy to pop theirs out and I dont see anyone ever cracking female torsos. Id like to avoid cracking if I can so I wonder if you can boil/heat n pop arms outta male torsos...

[@fud1238]

You're not kidding about finding that top shelf paint. I'm going to have to order it online.

[@Poundz978]

Fud 123 quality over quantity

[@fud1238]

Poundz978 Very True!

[@fernandowada7504]

Hey man! I was rewatching this, because I plan to do a little repaint (my first) on a figure. If you disassemble a figure like in this video and apply some acrylic paint on it, can you still apply heat on the parts to reassemble the figure? Does it not damage the paint? Do you only use paint over the figure, like in the Venomized Black Panther video? Do you not use anything like a primer first? Wow that's a lot of questions. Sorry if I'm bothering you! Thanks!

[@Poundz978]

Yes once all paint dries

Yes

Awesome videos your very talented... I want to modify and remove the boots off of my Marvel Legends Whirlwind figure and install a more modern boot. What boot do you recommend and from what figure should I get it from?

[@Romir616]

Cool man thanks, yesterday, the leg on my serpent society figure broke so I decided to make it my guinea pig, first time breaking apart a fig yeah. I stopped at cracking the torso though

[@oliverpineapple9186]

So if you do this you won't have to break the torso

[@MC_ToyDawg]

Do the toybiz legends have the same pegs? I plan on customizing/restoring a Colossus figure.

[@sponge.mp4]

do you have any idea on how to remove super glue from figures because my mcc taskmaster's arm wasn't glued and had to glue it my self but it got into the elbow joint so it would be very helpful if you could make a video on showing how to remove super glue from elbow joint or any joint thanks

[@misterioxo6412]

could you do another video with a marvel legends female body figure?

[@arkhamraptor7242]

How can you take the shoulders out I've seen many ways but in ur professional opinion cuz I trust it what is the safest ways?

[@vinylninja00]

Oh, Poundz also...I know KZbin is doing some weird stuff to devalue what creators are doing...Thank you for everything man, for real. As a young man myself, who is still very much a big ass kid at heart, I always loved playing with my action figures as a kid. And seeing how simple it is to create your favorite characters by using base line figures is really amazing...I don't know if my parents would have time to help me with something like this. So seeing how we are able to take the time and do this means this is something that will be passed down in our genetic sequence. Lol, I'm taking a Biology class this semester too so forgive for the science talk. Lol Do you think you will ever do any tutorials on hand swaps or how to re-adjust the hands for specific figure use? 😁

[@Poundz978]

Provoke and Resolve thank you for your comment. What exactly do you mean about hand swaps and re-adjustments? Usually the peg size is the issue with hands.... one can sand those down so they can fit in a smaller leg hole I’ll be working on a sculpting and paint tutorial very soon (dec)

[@vinylninja00]

Well, I have a ML Civil War Captain America that I got from Ebay for like $12 bucks right, and I customized it to look like the Wesley character from the Wanted comic books. Its kinda dope, but this Cap only came with the fist hands, Lol. But I've noticed that the hand pegs look different from the newer line figures🤨 I guess I should purchase more figures from the Civil War series to see if the hands fit right?

[@vinylninja00]

Oh dope, so you'll be making a video on that soon. Nice....I didn't click the "Read more" icon. Lol Thats awesome, yeah man I'm working on a G.I. Joe Project so this is really gonna help😁

[@rickytoddbotelho9555]

Great tech videooo.Yooooo gotta' do a star wars black series head to toe disassembly. Include the Torsoooooo!

[@_amfilms_]

this really helps but can you find a way to take out the top of the bicep?

[@osooro13]

How would you switch/ swap/ remove the neck joint peg?

[@cristianojeda2418]

Can you take the bottom torso off a legends and switch with another? Example the Hercules figure or the BP sub mariner figure? If I wanted to switch the bottom part of their torso with something else?

[@illetrop79]

So after you paint and you are ready to put back together. How do you warm the parts without damaging the paint to put back together?

[@Poundz978]

Let the paint dry and you’ll be good

[@yaboitoroflux8]

Nice video but can I use this trick to take the hands Biff my gladiator hulk and first ten years hulk I want to do a hand swap but the muc’s hands are stubborn

[@RickyRat256]

Will this work on the Epic heroes return of marvel legends Neo classic iron man’s huge boots.?

[@kenobiproductions7335]

Could the same concept be used to pop off the whole arm and shoulder piece with it?

[@richardhunt6310]

So I would need to reheat the leg in order to put it back on the peg right

[@tralifcustoms6823]

You also dont crack the torso even with the pizza or sunfire body mold which has butterfly joints? If not how do you sand them properly

[@Kitbats]

Hey dude, could I ask if the "Marvel Legends Spiderman Mark 3" figure's hands pop off without issues? I love the design of that figure but the deal-breaker for me is that it doesn't have removable hands.

[@Poundz978]

Yes you can remove the hands

[@Buzzed4LightYears]

Do you use any sort of primer on the figures before painting them?

[@Shadi092986]

Is it possible to pop out the shoulder pegs with hot water / hair dryer from the torso without cracking or drilling it open?

[@Stickfigure-ly7gf]

Can you put those calves on the marvel legends venom figure, from a few years ago, because the calves the venom figure has looks big and stumpy. Just saying.

[@lepidoptera]

Sorry for the semi-related question: where can you get replacement parts for these figures? We lost the hands to the Black Panther.

[@stevebryant4564]

So is the shoulder part or upper thigh not removable without major surgery?

[@entity9775]

Oh my gosh thanks I might need this for future customs this is very helpful

[@ryaneades9382]

What about getting the shoulder out also?

[@someguyuno9115]

Is there a way to disassemble it without the hairdryer my mom won't let me use hers

[@wongerenade6934]

Can you take off the shoulder part attached to the body?

[@GearFighterCZeta]

Is it possible to pop out the shoulders without cracking the torso?

[@Poundz978]

If the figure has butterfly joints yes... if not, no.

[@GearFighterCZeta]

@@Poundz978 Thank you very much. I just finished my first 2 customs and had to open both the figures I used. 😅

How do you remove hands and feet from 12 inch 1/6 scale hasbro(Star Wars,Gi Joe)figures without breaking?

[@pangGo]

You are awesome bro! Thanks for all these videos. It helps alot

[@eddycxno]

hello! i bought a marvel select spider-man for my cousin a while back and right leg joint is stiff. i found that it’s stiff because the leg joint is inserted more into the figure than the left leg joint, which is more loose and easier to use. my question is, does the hairdryer trick work to take off the leg joint and put it back on at a lower place or is the leg joint stuck that way?

[@cowboygambit3170]

can you remove shoulders on that buck?

Sooo you would recommend acrylic over enamel?

[@Poundz978]

scawesome yes .. Acrylic

[@anthonytalks95]

Poundz978 dope, sorry it kinda didn’t have anything to do with the video. I was just asking because I had leftover enamel from some other projects but I think I hate using it. One day this Spider-Man on a Bullseye body will happen

[@donsawyer4521]

Are you wiling to open a P.O. Box so that I can send you some stuff. Maybe other people want too as well

[@PeterTSF]

Is their a way to assemble it without any heat? Cause whenever I try to heat it up the pain starts to get soft and stick and come off when ever I use heat or boil

[@continentalcosplay1243]

I'm thinking of using this to make molds. I can mess up the mold and take crazy glue and re stregthen my figure again.

[@chrisingram4209]

Any advice on taking out hands that's tight and won't come out?? Is hot water a viable option??

[@Poundz978]

Chris Ingram hands ... Do the same .. Heat it up.. With a hair dryer or hot water works as well..

[@chrisingram4209]

Poundz978 thanks man!!

[@megcodm8961]

Will this make the figure loose

[@reaperjayscustomfigures7589]

I don't really do that to my customs maybe i should try it thanks for showing this video dude 👍.

[@kakalis2323]

Don't gotta sculpt over the holes. Just model cement, or you could use putty too. Either way. Then just sand it flush. I think some ppl even use super glue but I never have

[@Youaresooriginal]

If the joints dont come off on mine even tho I heated it up, do I just heat it up more?

how would you get the shoulder off?
