**** that plastic, I cant get the boots off on mine, it feels like I am going to break something or destroy the delicate material on the legs. I tried holding her by the waste and pulling/wiggling but it wont budge. If I use anymore force I could pull the knees out of the sockets, I am not sure how you guys got that **** off without breaking anything, maybe mine is on tighter.... who knows . Its bugging the **** out me because I want to display here but I've been trying to get the boots off for a few days to no avail. It is what it is, needless to say im not happy about this. Its like some cruel joke from the factory workers in china; you cant tell me they didn't know how difficult that plastic would be to remove, Funny stuff eh?? The worst part is they didn't even need plastic there, its not protecting anything, in fact it probably causes more harm then good, especially if you cant get the **** off
