Hot Toys Falconer face customization help

[EmperorPredator]

Hey everyone and anyone. I need tips on removing the Hot Toys Falconer bio-mask. I've tried asking those who have already done so, but they haven't gotten back to me yet and I'm really anxious to get started. I've tried hot water and that made the area more pliable, but it still feels pretty tight and I'm scared of destroying his face by yanking the bio off.
Any tips greatly appreciated.
Peace, Jay

Hey man, I replied in my thread and I figured I'd catch you here. I suggest boiling a cup of water in the microwave and then dropping the head in and give it a soak for two or three minutes. Not sure how this will affect the light mind you (probably not to good for it...lol). You could also try holding a hair dryer on it to loosen the glue. Also I feel like I should mention and I'm guessing your aware that he only has half a face under the bio. The jaws and mandibles have to be sculpted or what I did was cannabalize a berserker head and swapp out the dreads. Hope this helps man.

hey yo,

i used a hair dryer and a bit of slow force to slowly loosen the mask.

the thing is the amount of glue varies on each piece.

just keep slow and steady pulls, heat - pull - relax, heat - pull - relax.

all the best
