Disassemble it Yourself Noobz

Not just for beginners. Today I took apart this guy. This is a Noobz from Blizzard. It's a pretty cool toy, but it's toys like this that inspired this series.

First off, I used a blow dryer to soften up the joints then pulled them out. It took less than five minutes to do. Looking at the mushroom sockets afterwards; I would definitely trim them before reattaching. 

After taking this guy apart around some sockets were globs of greasy goo. I'm not sure if it was mold release or due to the tight sockets the manufacturer had to lube them up before putting them together. Definitely creates the cause to wash them before working on them though.

Disassemble it Yourself Tequila edition

The second installation of this blog theme comes from Muttpop's Tequila. This behemoth stands over eight inches tall. The head is the only articulating part, however, there is more to take apart!

I used a hair dryer for about two minutes and pulled it off with some force. The Tequila is glued at the arms and waiste. I used a hair dryer here too. The glue gave way and with a little force the parts came free.

When reattaching I would trim the mushroom socket on the head. For the arms and waiste I would use PVC cement. Just make sure the connect points are clear.

It seems like the list of creatures that are found on Mystery Island continues to grow! This speciman towers 18 inches tall. His nuerological proccessing is exposed to the elements. This evolutionary development may not be the greatest, but visually shows off some old fashioned talent.
