I agree with this. lol i did buy a cheap 2 pack on ebay cause I wanted the batman cause I liked the color scheme and the cloth cape for my batpod batman :-)

do you suggest a wrestling figure to use that would have the gauntlet thing?

What you'll need:

1. Pot of water
2. 3 inch vise
3. paper towels or old rag
4. PATIENCE

• Heat up a pot of near boiling water
• Submerge your figure for 45 seconds
• Remove the figure and pull off any easily removable parts (typically the head, arms at the biceps, legs at the thigh swivel, vests/jackets)
• Submerge the torso again, for several minutes (the idea here is to soften/loosen the glue used to assemble the torso)
• Place the rag/paper towels in the vise and then set the torso in (rag keeps the vise's jaw from marking/indenting the torso)
• SLOWLY apply pressure, you may have to repeat the last few steps a few times)
• Patience is the key, there is no rush (you may actually hear an audible "crack" when the glue finally gives way)
• If you take your time, you will free the halves perfectly, keeping even the small alignment pegs intact

Now, if I was doing this I wouldn't bother with the two pack Bane, I'd buy a cheap wrestling figure with appropriate arms. This is for two reaasons:

• Saves money
• Gives you a cheap figure to practice your cracking technique!

If all else fails, you can always PM me for a commission for this, lol. (shameless plug!)
