Alright, got him back into gun mode. The shaft of plastic (or metal not sure) that links the launcher mechanism to the trigger mechanism is bent and not going straight into its slot (great qc Takara of 10 years ago). How would i go about opening the chest to straighten the shaft?

Edit: got it off, just held on with clips. I'm guessing it shouldn't look like this. Time to boil some water to straighten it out.
