A couple of extra tips, fold the legs up to a sitting position once you get the belt near the bottom of the figures hips. This will make it easier to slide off. Also, as weird as this may sound, applying a small dab of dish soap or a water-based lubricant around the hips will allow the belt to slide off a bit easier. I prefer dish soap, as when it is wet, it will provide some slip and it will not damage or stain the plastic. Again, the most important thing is that you slide, do not pull or pick at it.

Also as another alternative, what you could do is pop off the upper torso since female Legend figures are not constructed in the same way as male Legends figures. Just be sure that when you place the figure in water, to do your best and bend the ab crunch slightly so that the hot water can seep inside and thoroughly soaked the peg within. Be sure to leave the figure in the water for at least a minute or so...two if you want to be sure. After that, all you need to do is pull on the figure and the torso should come off. Be sure to handle the figure with a towel or gloves, as it will be hot!

Great, thanks very much!
