So, about his chest: You’re kind of putting pressure in the wrong spot. Put your thumbs on his chest, and reach over the top of his wings with your index fingers. Then act like you’re trying to press his chest in with your thumbs while you pull back toward you with your other fingers. Basically the opposite of what you’d think should work. His chest will pop right open easily. His hands, though? Yeah, those are hard to get out no matter what you do.
