One of the reasons I can't figure out how to seperate them is because I use
torsos and heads from different themes all at one time.  If I seperated them
I'd be searching lots of different places just to put one fig together.

yeah, making it transportable is tougher.  Have you thought of using a
toolbox with compartments?  Some of them have interchangable trays, too.
Then you could choose what type of parts you need and then just take those
along for the ride.

I'd have to agree that accessories are a pain, but there is one thing worse:
sorting technic pins and small bits by the hundreds... I have a shoebox
sized bin that has been tormenting me for a couple months.  I can only sort
it in short bursts because grabbing all those little parts starts to stress
my fingers pretty quick.

My kingdom for a parts sorter!

cheers!
