What I have been doing is drilling the small holes under the pits and everywhere else that is recommended in the tutorials. I'll then do the boil n pop method next. I'll grab the figure with paper towels and prying tool (screwdriver....etc) and I'll get the water to a slight boil.
**Be careful not to leave the figure in too long or touch the bottom of the pot because it will melt.**
So I leave the figure in the water for about 8 to 12 seconds and then remove it and then I pry. In my experience it makes it so much easier to pop open and not crack unwanted pieces because the factory glue inside is weakened by the hot water.
If it don't pop right away, don't use excessive force. Just re-submerge the part you are removing back into the hot water and try again.
Again, I'm no pro but it works for me.
