Is there a preffered method for addressing this issue on slightly older figures? I was going to try sanding or filing the area but I figured I'd ask if there were any proven methods first.

I just use a sharp knife, and a little patience. I slice off thin strips in a smooth arcing motion. Just take your time, and if you get things a little rough, you can should be able to sand it out.

I think everything will be re-released and fixed in time.

Sorry to dig this up again...
I need to fix a few crotches for a few of my extra Dukes to sit properly in vehicles. Does anyone have a good crotch fix tutorial with the use of an x-ecto knife or a dremel or anything please? |

Yes, use a dremel. Follow the sculpted lines of the crotch area, or hip socket, and slowly remove layers until desired effect is achieved. Test legs often!!!
I've done this to many a Ninja, and it works like a charm! |
