As I had feared, the figures were glued to the magnet in the feet and the buttocks. I heated the figures with a hair dryer and so I could remove them from the magnet which was sometimes better, sometimes worse, but always required some patience. The last traces of glue, I have removed with a nail file and polish file. You can see it still a bit, but that is in our case, not so tragic. Compared to single figures but we have saved a lot and they serve their purpose. Because we will never sell our collection, such blemishes make us then nothing.
