!!!PLEASE READ before converting MR Obi Wan Force FX!!!

To save yourself hours of frustration and $ on not TRASHING your Master Replicas Obi Wan Force FX please follow this one simple step. If following xwingband's tutorial for 06 MR Obi Wan kit you will see that he/she mentions that removing the chassis is VERY Difficult. That is because he/she forgets to mention one crucial step before removing the internal components. Remove the thin black casing attached to the wall of the pommel (pics 1&2 below). otherwise you will end up with a mess (pic 3 below) after hours of trying to pound the dang thing through. Going to try and salvage this thing somehow but wish someone would have mentioned this or that xwingband could update his tutorial. Props to xwingband sharing the tutorial though. rest of the steps seem legit.
