I had to kind of cut the wings and then work on removing the inner stuff to get her fully prepped

the wings had broken off, so i cut them as close to the body as possible. It's just really glued in there or something... I tried heating it up and pulling with pliers, but it's just not working.. :<

Lolz, I think I used pliers and a hammer.  The glue's tenacious and pliers weren't doing the trick by themsleves so I broke the glue seal by beating her with a hammerXDD.  The bits inside broke too, so it was extra easy to get out afterwards;)

want me to send mine with the other baits? :3 i have no plans for her yet!
o wait... someone busted her magnet out and her foot's kinda messed up because of it.. it would be a simple fill in the hole and sand though.

Thank you, but nah.. The only wings I'm interested in making are apoxie and fairy wings.. as much fun as it would be to smash her, I just don't have anything to do with her.

I took off the cloth bit of the wings and boiled her til she gleamed. (she was very dirty) I added a lil soap to the water so that may have helped. When she was cool enough to touch I bent the spine toward the neck hole, grabbed the bit with my pliers, wiggled it a bit, and it popped right off.

I'm pretty sure I used a hammer too.  There was much violence and swearing involved to be sure.
