Can anyone please advise on how to remove the head off a modern action man. I've acquired one that needs reflocking as he's gone prematurely bald!

best bet is to either pop his head into very warm water. This will soften the head enough to pull the head off the inside peg. But the real expert in this area is brownboots

All the above work, personally I just hold the head over A steaming kettle till it becomes pliant. The twist heads Are easier the swivel heads are a bit trickier as you'll need to Soften up the underside of the neck I usually prop the chin On the kettle and try to reveal as much of the underside as possible. If I have to replace a head I've painted I'd use a hair dryer as the steam will Interfere with the paint and varnish.
