    Just what I said, dude. When you get the fig you'll see that the upper torso separates in half, front and back.

    It does not extend all the way through the upper torso. The interior holds the pegs for the shoulder ball joints and the head/neck assembly.

    This split starts at the top and runs to the midsection, stopping just above where the ball joints for the scabbards/doors attach.

    Ah, of course. You mean the back of the torso being a seperately molded piece from the front of the torso. In that case, that part should be removable without cutting right?

    It may sound kind of a simplistic and obvious type of request, but is there any way someone could take a photograph of this? Thanks :thumb

    Since this thread is dug back up, what is a good way to get the joints on the two halves to line up right? Did you just eyeball it? I'm over thinking this, aren't I?:crazy:  Oh well.
