Help! Removing the neck from a medicom rah figure.

[drunk_leprechaun]

finally did it! Removing the neck from a medicom rah figure.

Finally did it. but I had to break off the medicom snake neck.. pics page 3

First pop off the head, then remove the breast plate(if you have the 301 massive)then unscrew the two screws, seperate the neck halves.....Now you should be able to pop the neck joint onto that ball located in the neck pit.

thanks mate, thing is im trying to remove the neck of a medicom mgs4 old snake. so theres no way i can remove the breast plate. its under the rubber molded suit. is it enough if i remove the neck screws only?

 

[mindbook]

Without seeing it......I would guess you should be able to, I've done it before, but it is easier the other way.

Aren't these hex-head screws? Don't you need a very small hex wrench to unscrew them?

They may be Torx, which kinda looks like hex but is more star shaped.

ill post in 5 minutes, im uploading pics to photobucket at the moment. its the dr. figures head sculpt.

Bat Eater, could direct me to a link of the pic in your avatar. the sketch of big boss, i believe?

or could you pm me the pic please?

 

[Bat Eater]

Dr. figures i see, from onesixthwarriors.com right? i saw the custom on old snake's body, it looks sweet, you shouldve contact them how to switch their heads,

The Solid eye piece is pretty delicate and was a pain to assemble. It also comes with a bandana and a neck connector which fits perfectly on HT and BBI Bodies.
Ive added pics of the inside of the ehad and neck connector in case any of you come up with some ideas on how i can attach the head to the medicom mgs4 snake. in a few days i just might be desperate enought to crack open the plastic neck.. the only thing keeping me from doing it now is fear that i might damage the ball joint. Also it looks like the neck adapter of my new headsculpt is too think and wont fit in the neck socket of the medicom body. thank you for reading this and now onto the pics.

yes im a terrible photographer.

Cheers!

i think im gonna sell my p2 elder and wolf pred and get another medicom snake. i hated this figure when i saw pic and heard what reviews said, but in hand its pretty cool excluding the weapons and lousy gear..

How much for the Wolf?

ill check how much shipping will cost to the US tomorrow and then adjust price
and post in the sale forums. I shouldnt derail this thread any more or the evil mods show themselves...

THIS is how old snake should have looked straight from medicom.

Ihad to break the medicom body neck to get this one on..but thats cause the screw was ruined.. restof yo should be able to just take out the screws and do this.
