Here is the type of dremel bit I use either the cone shape or the bud shape close to this size works great with FF.com figures.

I just used either a battery dremmel or regular dremmel. They both worked great. The key for me was to dremmel kinda slow to medium at first and it will create a nice little hole. I find Reggie's figures very easy to dremmel. I cut off the arms and head as well and hollow out as much as I can from the torso. I also had to hollow out some of the legs as well on some of his big guys to get them down to 2.0. No matter what even when I put a hole through the other side sometimes I just used a little apoxy sculp to patch it up. You really can't go wrong. Good luck and I hope this helps.

Thank Guys I kinda thought the Same as both you guys on the bit, and drilling spots, Geno Ill hit ya at 8 pm if thats cool.

I've found that yougurt and fruit in the morning followed by a lunch of cheerios with soy milk and a chicken salad for dinner really takes the weight off and keeps the cholesterol low. Just look at the before and after on my FF.com fig.

I know, I know...I'm really not any help....hey it's Friday!

We now take you back to our regularly scheduled programming...

these rules just really aren't too inclusive to allow FF.com figures. I have light weight platforms that weigh 0.4 instead of the current 0.8, but still 2.0 is REALLY hard for the FF.com figures. Hollowing out these figures , now that just seems over the top and eliminating platforms and simply gluing them to bases to make them 2.0 is not how I would create a premium team that I would like to showcase.

The ff.com platforms ALL weigh-in at .08 grams!!! That will get every figure to 2.0 or less, but without a replacement platform. So, either "GUT 'EM LIKE A PIG!!!" or "OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!!!" or "MAKE THEM WALK THE (SANDPAPER) PLANK!!!"

Option 1: The EASIEST and least insulting way to drop weight is to swap out platforms or shave the platform down on course sandpaper until you reach the desired unpimped figure weight of 1.7 grams. If the figure weight minus .08g platform weight is still greater than 1.7g, skip to Option 2 or 3. If the figure minus .08g plus the new replacement platform is equal to 1.7g, then you're good. Proceed with pimpin' that figure out!!

Option 2: Chop their heads off and using a 5/16" drill bit, drill straight down and pull out a 1/4" deep plug; then angle the drill left using the same hole at the neck; and again at a right angle. You should set your bit length from neck to jock so that you don't make the mini-men into mini-WOmen!!! Madame Butterfly anyone??? Put all the pieces on a scale and see where you are. If there's only .01-.03 grams to "shave" then use the sandpaper as described in Option 1.

Option 3: Gut E'm!!! Chop 'em at their waist and hollow out both halves until they add up to 1.7 grams.

Reattach ALL options using a super or krazy glue - which may add back a lil weight, that's why I chop down to 1.7g.
