So I picked up this Fashion Star Filly, she’s perfect for a custom I have wanted to do for a very long time.

Does anyone have experience in dismantling one of these gosh darned horses? (Even if you done a similar type horse, ie: Swiftwind, MPP, 80’s Barbie horses, Bryers, etc.) I’ve done the usual MLP tricks for getting her apart but nothing is working. I really don’t want to snap her legs while dismantling, so worried about doing that lol.
I think if I can get just the “top seam” apart, I should be able to get the mane and tail mechanisms out no problem.

It’s sooooo frustrating but mostly because I don’t want to cause more damage to the body in general, because the body is in great shape.
Any pointers, suggestions or ideas I’m happy to try!!
ETA: I finally managed to wiggle the mane out with my alligator clamps and a peg for my tent. All it cost was a bit of my sanity and some skin. (Note to self wear work gloves, you know better!) Lol
