well.. I knew when I had to remove hardened apoxie sculpt it was a lot of chipping at it with a small screw driver, raw force and bashing the crap out of it and pulling on it XD it was a real pain to try and remove, but I got it off

Maybe heat the pony so it's rubbery and then contort her so that it cracks and all falls off?
I'm not really on here anymore. Email me if you need my for something.

We usually just squish the pony and it pops off.    I would not try to reheat and touch while hot, might end up with a funny shaped pony or a burn.

I threw mine onto cement. but I was annoyed with it at the time, so really that was so id feel better, then to get the rest off I used a screwdriver. and the little bits left, I boiled her an they just came off!
