Removing a pin in hinge head

Removing a pin in hinge head
Posted in
Custom WorkstationI am new to the world of action figure customization and have been collecting loose fodder pieces. I am working on a couple of 6 inch female figures in the Marvel Legends line and using Mystique, Psylocke, & X23. These are not simple heat up and pop off heads. How do I remove a pin in hinge head, which I believe is also pinned to the hair. Snapping the head of Psylocke off was tedious work. I will have to dremmel out her head for it to fit pop off head bodies and I will have to build up a usable neck stump if I want to reuse the body. Any thoughts or advice for a newbie?

Please wait...

If you want to remove the hard disc/peg itself, you need to crack the torso open.
I have the old Marvel Legends Mystique somewhere too, I'm sure I had to pop her head off at some point to paint it, but I can try to pop it off to make sure.
