Popping the head off of a SSC?

[MoondancerMilkyWay]

Hello and thanks for reading! I have a couple Strawberry Shortcake dolls and one in particular - Orange Blossom - is in need of some help.

I have one doll who when I got her had her clothes, tights, shoes, hat still secured on head with the plastic tie piece and I may even have her pet. One "small"problem is that she literally lost her ass somewhere along the way and her legs will not reattach.
I was at my favorite toy shop a couple days ago and worked out a deal to get a Orange Blossom WITH butt. so I switched their clothes, tights, shoes, etc. but her head I want to switch out as well since I have hat still original intact and her hair/face is still lovely.
I don't have pics as I'm at work right now and I didn't take any before (who is going to buy a doll with no butt?) so I'm wondering if anyone might be able to tell me...
How does one pop the head off of a Vintage Strawberry Shortcake doll without damaging anything?

Any help will be appreciated!!
Thanks!

According to this site, you just pull it off

Yeah the heads come right off, they are very sturdy.  If the plastic of the had has become very stiff, you can put her head under a bag of rice (warmed in the microwave) for a minute and it will come off REALLY easy.

Thank you so much!! It's been a really busy weekend and I have so much to do before I leave for MN so I hope I can still get this done soon! I want to surprise my sister. let's hope she doesn't visit this thread.

SSC can get some weird injuries -- have some custom bait ones that had similar butt-fall-off stuff. Two of my childhood dolls lost their arms, but that's more to do with some seriously intense play (I had them when I was quite young, like a toddler). The arms are much harder to replace. Heads are easy, though! Hope everything worked out with your dolly!

It worked out perfectly! I somehow never got pics and now both dolls are in MN!!! I'll see if my sister can get pics because it's really a site to see!
Thank you everyone for the tips! I now have a lovely complete doll.
