Yes they can, with a dremmel tool or atleast thats how I made mine :).

Heres a quick pic to the centaurs I made a few years back: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=810798

It looks like Hound Knight may have pried the halves apart to remove the head? What is being used to hold the minifig torso on?

They do look very nice but I'd not want to break a horse. Now if it does not break them I think I might like to try it out. Does the hip piece allow the minigif to bend there very well?

Nice stuff.

Ouch. OK, so at least I was not that lost. I have a dremel but not too many horses to butcher :)

That's why I like to make my Centaurs based on my posable horse design.

Your centaurs look very cool Hound Knight. (though I don't usually like to see customized horses)
Your centaurs also look great Pulse. I like it is a purist solution. (I'm not a purist, but I usually only costumize figs, and it's minor stickering, painting, etc.) And welcome to C-C too. I hope you have a great time here.

You know you're a good person when you see megablocks and have to do things you would rather not.
