View Full Version : Dissassembly instructions?

K, so I went to Wikipedia and read up on G.I. Joe and I see this...

"Although the 25th Anniversary line has enjoyed commercial success, some have commented that the articulation of the new figures prevents some of them from bending forward sufficiently to assume a proper sitting position. Others have lamented that the demise of the O-ring design makes it difficult to "customize" the new figures. ("Customization," to G.I. Joe collectors, refers to the creation of new figures via the diassembly and mixing and matching of parts from different figures). Hasbro has responded by offering instructions for disassembly of the new figures, and by pledging to redesign the articulation of the figures on a going-forward basis."

My question, is where are the instructions online? Is this a vandalism edit? Basicly, WTF? My searches end up in nothing.

Nevermind. Found it. I'm a little upset that step 1 is it to break out a hammer. *shudder* Hopefully with the redesign, step 1 will change to "Find the screwdriver you have always used".

You should share the love when you find something like this, someone else might be interested too, you know! :)

Sorry. I found a better pic though. :) I'm thinking of making a parody page suggesting the use of a chainsaw and a set of Jaws of Life for further customization...

No wonder I couldn't find it. Little too late now though.

Is it real or just your wish? Haven't read anything about it.

That was the advice directly from Hasbro, complete with demonstration, at the convention. Hit it with a hammer.

Oh, I think hoping for the screwdriver is nothing more than wishful thinking.
