Hey guys,
I have been looking through the minifigures here on Bricklink and I have seen
a few light up ones. Most notably Mace Windu and Darth Vader.


How are the batteries changed in these minifigures, I am not lucky enough to
own one I am just curious.


Thanks,
The Cute Giraffe

There are a couple videos on YouTube that show it but if I remember correctly
you pop off an arm then you can push out the back with a screwdriver or something
and then replace the batteries and push the back on again

You definitely need some specialty tools as fitting the tool in the arm and not
damaging the torso is not easy if you haven't performed the surgery before.
Some of the back plates can be pretty stubborn too. With a little practice,
though, they get pretty easy to change out.
