Heh heh.

So.  My question is:  Is there a way to remove the "keychain" bits from a
minifig keychain?  I know there is, I've seen it done (with the "ambassador"
keychains with the peaked caps).

I have my Legoland Guard keychain which I carefully removed the keychain part
from.  You would think it screws in, but its just little circular ridges down
a post about an inch long, vs the slope of a screw.  So work with it by
rotating it some, and get to the point where its ok to pull it out carefully,
but with force.  I had no problems except the hole in the top of his hat, and
since those hats aren't sold anywhere and only packaged on that fig, I wasn't
too happy.  So he has a hole in his head, but other than that, he's a great
minifig.
