One of these things is not like the other.
I swapped out hinged hands for the old swivel hands, but added a "cuff" from a different set of arms. I also cut off the foot and gave it articulation and chopped up the lower legs, swapped in Snake Eyes knee pieces, and carved out the rest of each lower leg to accept a knee so it is all double-jointed now. Why, oh why didn't Hasbro just release him this way in the first place?

Nice! I honestly don't mind the knees or ankles of the original that much, but ugh, that hand is the bane of this figure's existence.

Looks good. I did the same thing when I used the body to make my Slaughter custom. However, I didn't do the double jointed knees. That's a bit too much work for me.
Great job.

Nice!!! I suggest looking at the feet from the POC heavy IG. They are pretty big and may be in good proportion with the upper boot.

Cool! Can you describe how you cut up the knee to make it double jointed? I might be tempted to try it.

Bravo! It sounds like one hell of an undertaking, but you pulled it off flawlessly

Here's a picture of my Slaughter using the Heavy IG feet.
