I had this idea about chopping, drilling, pinning, and gluing up a prototype piece to mate HACKS torsos to MTF hips and legs but I fell flat on finding any volunteers to cast the piece if I were to create it. So instead, I am falling back on my 3d printing option.
So I started by modeling the basic (normal) MTF waist-and-hip bar: The first and simplest option is to modify the hip pegs to allow Joe legs: Next, the slightly different HACKS hips pegs on a standard MTF rig: And then, more importantly, the HACKS torso peg on MTF waist options were created. First, the HACKS torso to MTF hips: Then the HACKS torso to HACKS hips: And finally, the HACKS torso to Joe hips: All in all, here is the assortment I am looking at creating: Any thoughts or suggestions?

That's awesome, provided they can be made with comparable durability and integrity as their counterparts. Sign me up!

I like the idea especially the options for modifying to fit Joe legs, etc.
The pieces break easily (I broke a leg peg monkeying around with one recently) I’d be curious to know the cost as well as the durability of the 3D printed piece.

Awesome. If these are made, can you show a "how to" guide so we know how to change these out?

If you could do that I would love a hacks body to mtf head ball to ball joint/post. I know most people just exacto and glue but I would love to keep the playability of hot swapping.
