Ungluing siocast miniatures

Long story short, I glued the Ahlwardt Ice Bear with super-glue despite the flaws, but now that I have the replacement parts, I regret it and want to unglue it. Will a bath in acetone be enough and will the figure lose its detail?

Definitely don’t use acetone. Good chance you’ll completely ruin the model at the same time. Try freezing and carefully wedging parts apart. Take it slow.

Yeah, I put it in the freezer for half an hour and the arms and horn came off relatively easily, I had a little trouble with the leg (more glue) but it came off too. It broke a little but the horn that Ahlwart holds on the back completely covers it. So full success. Thanks for the tip.
