Does anyone has an idea of how to remove Magneto in the X-Men pin? My Magneto lamp burned out and the only place I can think that it'd be is inside Magneto. Am I right, or wrong? Help!!!!

You can remove him I took mine out and put a 6 inch figure in his place.
He is screwed onto the plastic from under the plastic. Meaning you have to remove that plastic he sits on to remove him.
If I remember right you have to lift up the iceman ramp to get to remove it. Mag actually sits on two plastics ...anyway hope that helps. Also you will see there is some cool spiral art work under him....wasted IMO. Good luck.

I think you can do it from under the PF.

Hmmm, I don't know about that. I've had mine off a couple of times.

I always removed it as HOOKED said. I think you have to remove a spacer from under the Iceman ramp and other hardware from around the plastic he sits on.

Yup. This is how you remove it. Just took mine off last night to replace the bulb.

BTW, does wolverine ever light up?

But to answer your question yes, there is a flasher inside of Magneto. I would go back with an LED so you don't have to do it again. Also, be careful with the gate at the back if you get that misaligned it can be a bear to adjust correctly.

Thank you all and wish me luck. Access to some areas is sometimes very tricky. Definitively will replace with an LED.

Wolvie has a light socket inside him, but it is not used. Light would not show through the molded plastic (no holes).

No you can't. I've had mine off numerous times. I took the right ramp off then unbolted the plastic magneto sits on. He is screwed to that plastic with screws. You need to unscrew all three screws and remove magneto from the plastic then there is the flasher screwed to the plastic. Do yourself a favour and replace the flasher with an LED one so you don't need to do it again.

I did some checking and my wolverine has an led in it. It makes his face light up as it can be turned on in the diagnostics menu, Though i have never seen it on during the game
