I looked back for the topic that went into great detail about how to perform this mod.. apparently it does not exsist anymore :S

I believe the mod involves taking a dremel to the clear orange piece inside the mace.. if you could find/take pictures of the insides of his mace, I might remember how its done..

Heh, no worries man.. if you do take some pictures, take the mace head apart and take as many pics as you can of the insides.. I'm pretty sure it'll all come back to me as soon as I see it :P

Yeah that would be awesome. From what I can gather it's just a matter of removing the screws and just maker the flamers lose that's all.

I'm pretty sure the mod requires the use of a dremel or a similar rotary tool, to remove some plastic from the flame peice to allow it to move. Basically reverse engineering the mold change Hasbro made to make it pass toy safety laws and not be a swallowable throat hook of doom :P

I was successful in making mine today. I used pliers, screw driver, nail filer, nail clippers and a sharp knife. The center piece has a huge orange plastic part helping to stopping it as well. The orange plastic part has to be removed before you can get better angels on the orange hooks which look like trident forks. Not only do you have to remove every things that is stopping it from sliding up you also have to remove some of the trident itself you will notice when you try to do it your self. The weapon in the end looks fantastic once you do every thing you need to.
