How do you pop the head off a G2??

[BerrySurprise]

I've got a baby G2 (pink body, yellow hair, yellow smiling sun) who's missing her hindlegs. I want to turn her into a tiny mermaid or naga, but need to remove her head for rehairing. Is there any way to get it off without having to slice through her neck? There's a mechanism holding her head in place I haven't encountered before, like an odd plug. Are all G2s constructed this securely?

easiest way is to microwave a cup of water and dunk the pony's head into the water. It'll soften the plastic enough to make it easier to remove the head

That's a brilliant idea! Mocha softened up when she was boiled, so this little gal should too. Thanks!

Boiling works wonders
