So I finally get to start painting one of these today to find out the arms don't come out. The head was not that much trouble to pop off, but even that seemed to be designed to stay on.

Though the paint seemed to apply alot better to the figure than the 3" figures, I still think the arms that don't come off easily is a shame.

Anyone feel me? :shrug:

They do come off but they're a pain to put on also. I took them off when I was painting my 9¨ but was very careful to try and not have to pull them off again because one side started to rip along the knub that pops into the body. I didnt want to risk it ripping off so I didnt fuss with it once I re-attached it.

Yeah, I ended up using painters tape on the arms because I couldn't get them off and didn't want to ruin it. I wrapped the arms while I was painting the body and the body while painting the arms. The head came off with much work, which I liked to paint, but I had the hardest time getting it back on. My husband was finally able to get it back, but some of the paint got messed up and I had to do touch ups after.

I had to cut away some of the neck stump to get the head back on. :bonk:
