You should be able to heat up the magnets with a heat gun to wear the glue down and Pop them out.

raphael Pulled the whole mouth out on pcs Kessler wolf:

But do at your own risk. It also can make the polystone pliable too.

With no switch out parts I wonder why they made the hands separate and detachable.

Yes just stick them on top of the old ones. No it would not make them less efficient.

Are you talking about the circular type magnets on ebay?

I am curious though about the efficiency as well, because wouldn't a circular type magnet put spacing between the rectangular type end on the hands and where it is suppose to snap too?

Has anyone else tried this method. I mean if it works I prob would definitely buy them for the additional security.

I'm already starting to think to put goro on the bottom tier of a adjustable besta in case the hands do fall.

Adding extra magnets will make the attraction stronger, but also increases the chances of ripping them out of the polystone, so take caution.

The key doesn't matter. These aren't pinned it's entirely the magnet holding it in place. But you want real thin ones so it doesn't actually cause it to poke out. I bought them originally for an SS statue and they have worked fine. As megatron says if the part is too heavy for the original glue itself then it can cause the original magnets to fall out as well, if you feel like that's the case just glue it some more I guess.

PCS knocked this one out of the park imo. Goro is enormous and intimidating just like he should be. The sculpt is fantastic, the paint is generally to a high standard, the eyes could be better if I was to nit pick. The base fits the pose and charcter perfectly. The real fur and hair look great and blend together with the sculpted areas which adds to the realism.

This holds more presense than anything else in my collection. It weighs a ridiculous amount and isn't at all light like a lot of collectibles tend to be nowadays. I'm actually concerned about finding something to display it on given how heavy it is.

I've been in this hobby for well over 10 years and would be honest if this one didn't turn out right given the price. My necklace, like many others was unfortunatley damaged but this is a common occurence and I would hope that PCS or Sideshow will sort it out for us. Well worth the wait. Hats off to everyone involved.

Oh by the way I think the magnets on mine are actually rather strong with a lot of pull? Maybe that's just mine though.
