The belt will slide down the figure with some gentle nudging. The head and hands pop off with minor pressure-- that lets you slide off the gloves and the same with the boots.

I am not a customizer, not experience with "dressing" dolls and I was able to replace the suit with very little effort-- it was so long ago I don't remember the exact steps but it was simple.
Thanks Andy! I will give it a try.
I appreciate the info on the belt!
Can't wait to see the new Tony Mei suit on your figure! Are you getting rid of some of that bulking that they did around the Adam figure's waist?

Do you know if Tony happens to be using the fabric that Chuck and Lynne made available?
I will looki
Into trimming Adam down once I get him stripped.
Absolutely no idea about the material.
I will post some pics soon.

The "fat suit" padding comes off very easily.
I don't know about the fabric either, I doubt he used Chuck's, and it might not scale down properly.

I finally but it on and it is fabulous.
Absolutely worth the wait.
I left the " fat suit " on for now, but the new suit is tighter and I think slims him down a little.
It is a shirt and pants, not a full suit with zipper, mock turtleneck, and snaps in all the right places-but I think it is a vast improvement!
What do you good citizens think?

Congrats Jimbo! That really is an improvement, Tony does great work!

I remember seeing Wally's upgraded version from Tony in the flesh for the first time a few years ago and was never able to look at the regular one the same way. Like you said the fit of Tony's pattern is definitely a lot more form fitting and really tightens up the look!

I would never had believed it made a difference if I didn't have one myself-- it made me go from regretting the Hot Toys purchase to thinking it's one of the top items in my collection.

I ran across a picture of the red tight version Tony did to resemble the Italian movie poster, and reached out to him to see if he would make another one. Not going to happen anytime soon. Tony is an interesting fella. Big fan of his work.
