Question: How did you switch the lower arms on Wetsuit? You said something about popping them out? What does that mean? Do I pull and they "pop" out?
I totally wanna make those two changes. Looks way better! |

I have the same question. It makes me nervous. Do I have to heat it first?

not too jump on his thread, but with a little application of heat, be it boiling water or hair dryer, the lower arms ( and the harder plastic joint disk) will pop right out if the bicep part of the arms.
Nice mods, by the way. I need to find a different head for Ripcord, too, don't have an extra Airborne, unfortunately. I was going to go with an extra Duke, maybe. |

Very nice. I did essentially the same thing to WS, though I went ungloved on the hands. As for Ripcord, I drilled my hold on top of the pouch in line with the right strap. Felt more natural there. I also glued the mask to the helmet. I actually thought it may have been glued because it came off in one piece out of the box. Next up is Chuckles, and I want to do something better with H&R.

Good call on adding a hole to plug the mask hose into. That was really lame of Hasbro to simply leave the hose dangling.

To pop out the arms, bring a pot of water to boil, then submerge the parts you want to separate for 10-15 seconds. The parts should pop right apart.
I do plan to work on Hit & Run, he definitely needs new forearms. |
