If you have a quick question to ask regarding customization, just ask here.
Do any of you have the Irwin SS Goku in Saiyan armor by any chance? Thinking of maybe doing a little head/arms swap but if I recall bran said the torso is hard to pop. If any of you could make a video, short guide, or give me some helpful advice that would be very helpful!

I can recommend a book about the subject "The complete guide for swapping Irwin SSJ Armor Goku head".
Really deep philosophical stuff!

I'm guessing they sell that in planet vegeta? No time to go over there, thanks for the info though.

By popping the torso do you mean getting it to crack open?

be careful with it. the torso is held together by two large pegs and they simply won't crack apart by normal means. The only way to do it properly is to boil the head, squeeze it out, and then find a long Dremel tip and very carefully carve away both of those pegs and then make the split...and I mean they have to be gone. It's one of the worst figures to crack and you will be getting some plastic fumes in your face (unless you find some other way to destroy the pegs).

So I have to break the 2 pegs.

I cut through them with a medium duty x-acto knife, but I assure you it isn't an easy to pop figure. The jakks version is just as hard as the irwin.

Dollar stores have some cool things  . Is it really true though, that everything in there is a dollar? Like every single thing? ...  |

Yeah, I bought some epoxy putty for $1 from a dollar store near me. I still haven't used it though because I'm afraid it will give me cancer LOL. Speaking of that dollar store reminds me of the donut store next to it. MMMMM donuts.
