I've been having some fun playing with the new stuff for the last few hours, and i have to say, even though they look awesome on all the pictures i'd seen of them already, they're even better in hand. The contract ops guys may be the coolest figures i have now.

Hi all

Trying to do some customizing. After popping off the legs, I'm left with the torso connected to the pelvis via the T bar. The halves of the pelvis appear to be glued together. How do you guys pry the pelvis apart?

I wrap the hips in a shop rag and put the belt area into the jaws of my bench vise sideways (so the seams on the sides of the waist are touching the jaws of the vice). Slowly squeeze with the vise until you feel it give or you hear a tiny crunch or pop.

With that said, you don't need to crack the waist open unless you are swapping out the t-bar. What are you trying to accomplish?

Thanks for the info! I just wanted to swap out the waist and legs on one of the figures. Can the waist simply be popped off of the torso? I tried but it didn't give easily so i didn't force it for fear of breaking something.

Yes, it's a ball joint... don't fret... I didn't discover that fact until just a few weeks ago. DER on me!

Has anybody here tried the WORMS/Gen Mayhem coat on an Agency Ops figure?

I haven't actually tried this, but I do own an Agency Ops figure and I've worked with a resin cast of that Gen Mayhem coat. Given that the Agency Ops figure is slimmed down under the coat, and that the Gen Mayhem coat is made to fit over a standard GIJoe torso; I would think that the Gen Mayhem coat will be a little big on that Agency Ops figure.

Can anybody here please show how the regular blue 86 vest looks on the chimera ops vs how the regular blue tactical vest looks on him? (yes, I'm trying to make Shockwave)
