Yeah, the water here would take forever to heat up, when I used the boil and pop I heated it up in the microwave. But the hairdryer is way faster and easier, I've removed a good number of lower arms, hands, and feet with the hair dryer. In fact, the only problems I've had is with the SRO Ace. One of his hands tore when I pulled without heating, and later with another sro ace, the same thing happened on the same hand when I boiled. The hardest elbow joint I removed was roc cover girl, but it did come out okay. I haven't tried to remove poc parts yet.
On the predator recipe, when I looked closely at the details of the predator, it seems the parts don't match as well as they should. But the lower legs of the tornado kick snake eyes are the ones for the predator I think.
