Hi Guys,
Not sure if this has been discussed, but I haven't been on here for 5 years and starting doing a few customs again. Anyone has knowledge about intertwining parts on Vitruvian, Marauder, MU and Joes? From what I understand, Marauders figs were created by Boss Fight studios so they should be interchangeable right? My main questions are arms. Can they be used with joes by using the torso splitting technique on joes and using the Vitruvian arms? Also, how about the heads? Will joe heads work on Vitruvian torsos? Can you take a torso from the Vitruvian figs and pop it on Marauder thighs? Lastly, anyone know how to pop off arms from MU figs? Can they be replaced with joes or Vitruvian? Thabks so muxh

Mer,
A lot of this is trial and error. There are lots of YouTube videos on these very topics. Also, search the forums. You may get some specific responses from knowledgeable customizers, but its best to try to find info on your own. less frustrating.

Thabks so muxh Upper arms are not natively compatible between Joes, Marauder, and BFS. BFS have no "mushroom" and MTF have shoulder pegs of a different length than Joes. Hip balls and sockets are different sizes between all three lines. No native compatibility there. Heads are largely compatible (same general ball and socket sizes) but BFS uses a "barbell" to attach the heads. That results in different depths of sockets which can throw neck heights off. I sell a variety pack of 3d printed barbells of varying lengths to use on BFS torsos to put heads on them. BFS torsos don't natively attach to MTF waists, but again, I sell adapters to handle that if you need it. Popping arms off of MU figs ends up being either a boil/pop for single-piece torsos (Captain America movie line has a lot of this) or a classic torso cracking for the 2-piece sonic welded torsos (the majority of MU figs).

I end up drilling or bulking the various parts to get them to fit properly. You will need a dremel tool, green stuff, nail polish, and other modeling tools.
Some parts are similar (I've swapped heads and put BFS legs on Marauder hips) but other parts are definitely not (eg arms) |

Thanks for the tips guys. Seems like its going to be a headache. Its a shame that marauders and bfs studio didnt think of making everything compatible.

I strongly recommend checking out Zap's T-bar adaptor if you want BFS torsos on your MTF leg. I Have a figure using his T Bar, and will do some more if I ever get a spare BFS chest.

Hi again. Hopefully someone will see this.
Is it possible to change the upper arms from an MTF fig and put another set from MTF?

I have a question about Marauder's female arms. Can you easily swap the t-shirt forearms on to the Valkyries upper arm to get a rolled up sleeve look?
