What's even more stupid is Mattel saying that the switch was "on purpose".
I'm so glad I never started collecting that line.

The fixed arms really make that figure look so much better.

Hmmmm, my point was that this is something easy that anyone could do themselves. Maybe I was too thorough? It could actually be done in fewer steps. Thoughts?

Your process is simple. The arms really dont bug me though, so anything beyond 'pop and swap' is too much work. Don't have time or space to do painting/customizing due to my toddlers.

I like the choice of Mattel for the forearms, but I wanted an open left hand.

I personally don't buy the story that it was intentional. This kind of thing happens all the time, including on ROC Duke.

Factory release with armor on the back/inside of his forearms...


Corrected version with armor on the front/outside of his forearms...


Just like Stinkor, the forearms were incorrectly labeled.

Nice detailed write up. I love this MOTU line, but it's too pricey so I decided to pass them completely. I was wondering though, got any pictures pre-swap? Was wondering how different it was.
