Custom WorkstationI cut myself twice on the same finger trying to crack open a figure to take the legs off.
Actually, I cut myself once then stabbed myself once. Neither incident really hurt that much, it hurt more to clean the cuts later. I had no idea my knife was so sharp...
Oy. I've never had to crack open a figure before so I was kinda driving blind. I had to get the Punisher's legs off which ended up with an almost completely destroyed Punisher torso. Not that I really needed it, but sometimes I will need it to stay intact. I suppose I should learn how to do that properly.

Please wait...

As far as injuries go, when I was 12 or 13 I severed a tendon in my hand with an exacto knife while making a model of the Starship Enterprise, and to this day the top joint of one of my fingers doesn't bend.
Works for waists too - just drill on the seam on the bottom of the crotch.
Remember to go slow and easy so you don't break the piece you're opening. If the glue is really strong try sticking the figure in some very hot water for a minute to melt / loosen the glue.
Anyone who says toys are for kids obviously has never tried customzing. It's for real men.
