I disassembled the Mobat and I cut out the front of the turret that the figure sits in. After reassembly this allowed the figure to compress his legs enough to fit in and not look like Kareem Abdul Jabbar standing in it.

Sadly no I did it while the net was down and I was bored. I'm thinking about doing it to my Son's Mobat too so if I do I'll take some pics.
Basically you disassemble it to the point that you have the inner turret by itself. Then you cut away the front of it about 30-40% in Width in the front. The trick is to leave enough at the top and bottom so the integrity of the piece is not compromised. Oh and if you heat the plastic just long enough with a lighter it has the consistency of Play Dough for a few seconds making it easier to do if you don't have access to a Dremmel.
