It’s permanent now, of course, but I didn’t glue the rest of the straps and the figure retains full range of motion in the torso.
That's the direction I was going if I was going to do the switch on my other Roadblocks. But I don't want to glue the belt down. I think the torso can be shaved down a little more at the top, back and pecs at locations beneath the webgear to get the belt naturally lower. Plus I think the webgear can be cheated a bit more pulling the front down and the back up--and gluing to the top per your mod would hold that position down w/o having to glue the belt to the torso.
Right now I only have the one webgear, bought from one of those Covid assembled figures a few months ago, to start messing with MTF parts & pieces. Once the test fix is a slam dunk (I don't like the belt side pouches sticking out), I'll go ahead and order more. Thanks for sharing your mods!

No painting was done except for the skin on the fourth above. If you look closely at all of them, see the upper left leg just below the torso hip, where you see I oversanded the leg paint. The colors on Retro RB are extremely vivid in hand (if you haven't gotten yours yet). I set the camera phone's ISO and shutter speed really low to keep the richness, then pushed the brightness back up and dialed down highlights in post, without having to mess with color saturation. For record, I uploaded an original unedited photo of the shoot to flickr below. Its really too bad that couldn't have match Resolute's skin tone, having matched the pant pantone so well...
