Hi, so i know shipping toys with batteries in them is a usps no-no. I have tried to remove these batteries and they will not come out. i don't see any corrosion, it's just a tight fit and the compartment is very small. any suggestions, tips, or tricks to remove them would be much appreciated. thanks!

Can't you pry them out with a metal nail file or tip of a paring knife?

I can try that. was going to try a small screwdriver but was concerned that metal would damage the batteries. not sure how sturdy batteries are. these have been in the figure for 10+ years. (they still work too)
thanks for the suggestion - will try it now.

Try using a small screwdriver and place some paper on the tip so you don't damage anything.
