    Has anyone removed a Seige Mirage's head please? I'd like to try a headswap, but don't want to break him.

    I think it's just on a ball joint so you can remove it easily.

    You can't just pull it off. It's one of those cases where the ball itself is bigger than the port, so the head is glued together. If you tried prying it off it would probably break.
    It's possible to put an Xacto blade on the seam (long side, not the point), work it in and pry it apart that way.

    Yikes! Thanks for that. I'll just leave his head where it is.

    Heat his head with a hair dryer to melt the glue they then it should come off pretty easy

    Didn't even need to hear the head on mine, there's a line where the two half's join, I just put my blade in that Grove and just pushed it open

    I think I'll try the exacto knife after all. Will let you guys know how it goes.
