Disassemble
Those who are crafty can reconfigure your own minfigs. All you need is a metal pin or smooth side of a drill bit to push out the hip pin in your minfig. Once removed, everything comes apart easily, except the head. Use a set of needle nose pliers to close the inside of the neck and the head and hair/hat will separate for the torso and each other. You can now reconfigure as you like.
