6003 dragon and 6005 hay cart

Go buy some fishing line (the rather strong kind), cut off a piece and tie it in a loop. Put the loop around a door handle or a very firmly rooted thing in the wall.
Then make a noose - best to make it a double one - and put it around the klicky's head and firmly pull it tight. Then pull and wriggle a bit to get the fishing line in between the crease of the neck, a short pull, and behold! 
Tahra taught me how to do it.

(Best to remove all bits and pieces such as hair, and don't put your face near the clicky when you're pulling. Sometimes the head or the neck piece goes flying around the room!)

(the line sometimes snaps too, that's another reason to keep your face away. Justin case!)

Birdie & Tahra - thanks for the reminder.  I really need to try this method - I'm hopeless at the others.  (This summer I kept trying both the "hands-on" and rubber band method and was successful only once with each method.)  I'll have to figure out if any of my door knobs and secure enough - most wiggle a bit.  I really really going to try to figure this out THIS weekend.  My bin of clickies to be popped is getting full.  I'll try to actually take some pics.  Thanks!!!

Good luck!! 

I don't use a door knob, I use the banister of the staircase.

Well, if I can help.. just lemme know

Lately I've been having some success with the "whack" method - can't do it with my hands - must be on some cloth on the kitchen counter.. but that is limited to slim pants klickys... (and only legs that I wouldn't die if I broke them...)  The popper is still the most widely successful one I've had... but for the ones that works, whacking them IS faster.

It IS succesful! 

Look at how good this guy from the 6005 hay cart cleaned up, and he had a very difficult neck piece thingy:

weird looking angry soldier

"medieval peasant" who ate some cake or something 

the freckles make him look like he is properly messy, as a peasant should be, now if he could have a messed up shirt

I'll give him a shovel and tell him to start digging

I like the way you did him!
