On a side note, I REALLY can't wait to see the alternate forearms/shins. I'm going to need like (1,2,3,4-) A WHOLE BUNCH. Last edited by Diezelboi; 04-22-2016 at 06:53 PM.. |

Question: how hard is it to swap legs from Marauder figures to Joe figures? I know with Marauder figures you can boil and pop them at the waist, but are you able to swap the legs themselves? Do they unscrew and open up like Joe legs, or would I have to boil and pop the legs off the hip joint?
Am I making sense? Basically, I want to use Marauder legs on a Joe figure. These legs with all the modular sockets and whatnot are perfect.

Marauder legs just pop off. Not sure how Joes legs come off.

Looks like the set up is the same, although the hip peg on the Marauder figure looks a bit thicker than the corresponding Joe hip peg. I hope it's not too loose.
I guess I'll just experiment and see how they fit. *EDIT* Nope, they don't even come close to fitting! The Marauder crotch pegs/thigh holes are almost twice the size of their Joe counterparts. The Marauder legs just fall right off. Bummer.

My troops are waiting patiently for their night vision goggles...
June can't come soon enough. Are we there yet?!

MTF Valkyries project update 5/21 Posted by Marauder GR (Creator) Backer3x 460cb89427d3080c4af09ff9ed1230356e10dbb821d0681e85 2a539a7ff780dc For backers only Hey “814 Valtaskers!” We are working with the factory almost daily on the Marauder Task Force Valkyries project. As mentioned earlier, the new MTF Valkyries project has 14 production tools and 11 different color styles. The original MTF project had only 5 production tools and 8 different versions. The new MTF series has over 3 times the number of items than original MTF series. Due to the complexity of the new project (large number of items, more intricate working features and increased number of color options), our factory wants us AT the factory for production AND must split the actual production of the figures & accessories into 2 separate runs. Consequently, we won’t hit the planned end of June ship date and will have at least an approximate 8 week delay. This slip in ship date took us by surprise. We had no warning because everything was on schedule and proceeding smoothly. The need for us to be at the factory to oversee any final tooling adjustments, review initial production AND the requirement that the production be split into 2 sections are variables we just can’t overcome to meet our original ship date. This is news we would rather not have to announce (to say nothing of having to spend several weeks in China during the hot summer)...but we have no other options. To help make amends for the unexpected delay we will include some of our NEW & UNANNOUNCED accessories to each shipment for FREE! As a side note, we will post images of the tooling samples once we get all of them in hand. Again, thank you for your support and patience! MJ & Team Marauder "Gun-Runners" |
