Sinister Six Spidey Disassembly

Posted in Action Figure Chatter

Hello, I have zero experience about figure disassembly, and now I'm trying to do this to the Sinister Six Spidey figure. I checked out the 'basic joint disassembly custom tutorial' and I've tried to soak the figure in hot water to be able to remove the shoulder rods, but I couldn't do it, it's too stiff, it felt like I was going to break something. Do I need to put the figure on boiling water (I'm scared to damage the figure)? Has anyone worked on the same figure? Any advice?

Thanks
