Here is a zero-waste method of combining a HACKS torso with a Marauder Task Force waist and legs, all without green stuff, hot glue, or any other waist filler or adhesive.
The basic idea is simple. You crack open the MTF waist and remove the entire torso/hip peg piece and carve out a notch in the front and back halves of the waist. That notch should be as wide as the ring in the HACKS torso/hip peg piece, and a depth of half of the thickness of the ring in the HACKS torso/hip peg piece. Here is an inside shot of the carved-out waist. You can see I also shaved a little bit of the love handles off on the sides of the torso to taper the torso into the waist. There is a small bit of "plumber's crack" as usual, but overall it's a good fit. When you glue everything back together just make sure you glue the torso/hip peg piece down as low into the waist as possible so you can get proper sitting position from your figure. The only real problem is that the hip peg balls on the HACKS piece are too small so the MTF legs wobble around pretty badly. You will need to fill the MTF sockets or build up the HACKS peg balls. I posted this in the custom parts need/have thread as well but it was promptly buried so I am going to post it here as well... If I fashion a combination peg piece to use the main MTF peg, but modified with a HACKS torso cup on top in place of the ball, could someone here cast it and send some copies to me? It would make kitbashing as easy as cracking an MTF waist and popping the custom peg in place of the standard peg. It would be the adapter we've all been waiting for, and I don't mind chopping up some pieces to make the template, but I'd like to know that I will be able to get a usable replacement so I haven't wasted critical parts out of $40 worth of figures.

that's good stuff, Zap. I was going to tinker with this but the legs looseness you mentioned turned me off to it.
I'm sure someone would cast that piece. A lot of us could use it. Maybe reach out to AVACS directly?

So is there no interest in this now for the next two years while people wait for the Vietnam MTF Kickstarter? Or for kitbashing something other than bare HACKS chests (Zombie Labs stuff or any of the upcoming sci-fi parts)? Or for kitbashing female torsos?
I know it might sound snarky but I'm actually just asking honestly. Bare male chests aren't the only thing you might want from HACKS, but if that's 99% of the demand then this won't be worth doing.
