I'd rather have more twist ties than broken figs, but yeah, making them easier to take off would be so nice. :smile:

There is one twist tie on my Dr. Teeth that I can't get off. I was going to cut it with wire cutters, but I've left it on. It's kinda hidden under his sleeve. It seems it was cut so short that the plastic covering came off, and its just a wad of wire with no end too it.

I agree that the twist-ties can sometimes be a hassle to un do. They're not that big a problem for me, since I got accustomed to taking them off from my Transformers Beast Machines collection. The one I did have trouble with was the one tying down Kermit's camera, which I had to undo from the loop rather than from the ends. Here's hoping they won't be that big a problem for Series 2 and beyond!

I found needle nose pliers to work very well for these tiny ties. The Lab was much easier to remove (once I figured out just which tape to cut...)

I got frustrated with my lab, and wound up just ripping the cardboard inserts. My kitty now thinks the window box is his, and he'll sleep and play in it for hours on end. Thanks Ken, not only did "Daddy" get a toy, but "the kid" did too! :big_grin: (And yes, my kitty knows me as Daddy, make fun if you want, but it'll be the only spawn I'll ever have)

I hate to tell you this, but the only thing your cat will ever see you as is 'that big freaky looking thing that gives me food'.

Hey, thats not true. My kitty loves me, and he knows me as Daddy, the sweet non-furry creature who feeds him, puts new fish in Kitty's fishtank for him to watch and play with, fill his water bowl, scoop out his litter box, and leave at least one new toy a week for him to play with so he doesn't suffer from kitty depression (kitty's can suffer from depression, and it is suggested you give them something new to play week everyweek to avoid this from happening)

You know we've run out of things to talk about when we resort to picking apart cat-men and twist-ties.
