If so...using boiling hot water (I usually fill a mug and put it in the microwave for about 3 and a half minutes,) and letting the figure sit in it for about 45 seconds will get those legs to pop right off the average female joint. Though I'd be careful trying this with any figure on the Moonstone body mold, the legs will often crack and break before they come off. This is a QC issue that is common with that body mold.

You can use a hairdryer of course too...but I found boiling water ensures the joint is heated evenly, therefore making it easier to pop off.

Yes, I am trying to remove the legs from the ball joints. I am talking about the female figures with the hips that are two halves glued together. I can pop the single piece ones off without any problem. I can deconstruct everything else, but I want to swap hips without cracking a torso. Moonstone has the thicker thighs I think, but I am trying to take apart Polaris, which has the average thighs. Does the heat work for that kind of hip?
