Hi Warhorse, welcome to the forum  :)

I live in Belgium. Your interest in historical themes and your custom work sound fascinating! I hope to see lots of your creations.

What's your method for pulling the clickies apart?

I use the Han's method for the most part to take the klickyies apart.

Welcome here! You made some impressive hair and beard customs!
When thinking outside the box you make the greatest things happen.

Welcome from Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Great customs, Warhorse! Did you like the Gauls as much as I did when they came out? Historic and exotic warriors are my favourites... lot of my customs play characters in my Playmobil comic (see link below).. :wave:

Thanks Lynx, I will take a look at your comic soon. I like the Gauls, wish they had expanded it.  >:( Just made some new beards Mr Raven. Thanks ( =

Welcome from a fellow Pennsylvanian.  Have you had any success removing legs from the dwarfs?

I'm in Lehigh Valley. I have not tried taking the dwarfs apart, I only put some together by getting short legs. Here is a Dwarf Warlord that I made, have not done to many dwarfs.

Nice - love those beards! And the hammer!

The dwarfs pop the same as everyone else...

Great job!  I agree, the beard is super, he looks perfect on the bear.  Reminds me of the story of Snow White and Rose Red from my youth.

@tahra, You must have that special touch with the dwarfs.  ;)

Welcome (back)!

The short legs make the dwarf a little harder to pop using the Hans method, I find them easier to do by pulling the head out using pliers. The 'head lock' method maybe? wrap the neck with rubber band to extend it as much as possible then turn the head all the way to the side, cover with a cloth and pull the head out using pliers.
