Hopefully this is the right forum because customizers do make custom figures on cards. I'm still keeping my 25A singles MOC, but with the introduction of wave 5 and the Crimson Guard I will definitely be buying extras to open and army build so I was wondering if there's a neat way of removing the bubble without major damage to the card (which I'd like as a keep-sake). I could slice the bubble at the bottom but the figures are now packaged in a mold that fits inside the outer bubble (if that makes sense) so it makes it a little tricky. Is there a method with a blow-dryer to soften up the glue to remove the bubble? |

I use a safety razor; gently work it under the edge of the bubble and cut slowly around the works. Mind you that it takes some time if you want to save the card. Mind you I'm not all that worried about the card since I don't collect so I usually go a little quicker, I do take pains when opening a Comic Pack. |

I don't think there is a way to remove the entire bubble with the glueflaps without damaging the card. I just use my trusty Exacto knife and cut the bubble off. Shouldn't have any problems if you follow the "fold" where the bubble comes up off the card. Just take your time and be careful. This is the way I'm storing all my figs cardbacks. |
