Bowen pieces with no pegs question

Hello, so I was cleaning my Bowens and was really, really trying to remove Doom from its base (same with Sabertooth and Logan) but can't. So I gave up.

My dumb question is: Are these 3 molded as a single-piece statue? I thought Bowens are made with 2 separate pieces e.g. the character AND the base. If indeed they are permanently attached to its base, can someone tell me any other pieces where the character is permanently attached to its base before I break anything? Thank you.

I'm assuming you're talking about Doom on castle? He is firmly attached. A few others are the new Hulk, Savage and Variant and some of the older ones like Classic BW, DD red and yellow museum I think. I don't have the old Sabretooth or Logan, so I can't confirm on those two.

The Villafane Sabretooth is one piece.

Correct, both Sabretooth and Logan, both Villafane are one piece.

If I remember correctly, Dr.Doom is separate than the base. Pretty sure there are two pegs, one on each foot. Be careful!!!

The Logan and Sabretooth are both 1 piece. Dr Doom has begs on both feet and fits into the castle base.

Thank you all for the help. Right now I'm extra careful when dusting them off. I also noticed the Ghost Rider (the one sculpted by RB) seems to be fixed, although I'm not entirely sure. Now I have to open the boxes and checked the packaging one by one if the base is tucked in separately LOL (tiring but at least Im on the safe side..)

Gotta modify my cab to prevent dusts from sipping inside. Sigh..

Reading this comment, ran to the storage and made a second peek at the box to confirm and took this pic. Indeed sir, it's not. Thanks! A beautiful piece too.
