Hey there, I just bought a used 62605pb01c01 (great white shark) and it's
quite dirty on the inside part, I've been trying to separate the 2 parts
of the shark (bottom / top of the body) to clean it but it seems it's not
possible. I see several pegs inside and 2 larger ones close to the jaw.

Anyone ever tried that and care to share their method ?

Thanks in advance !
Cheers

Looking at the catalogue it seems that the head is the only part that comes off
as it says it only comes as 2 parts. in which case I would suggest using a toothbrush
and small amount of toothpaste to clean the inside

As the previous poster says... only the head comes off.

This pic shows you where the head attaches...

Thanks for the replies guys, I was meaning to try to remove bottom and top parts
as there's some sort of candle wax inside it and it's really hard to
access with a brush.
Guess I'll just put in it in hot/warm water see if it comes off.

Cheers!
