Improving the range of movement on the UE torsos? Jul 26, 2020 20:41:26 GMT -5 via mobile

I've been watching a lot of reviews on the Ultimate Edition figures and the only thing stopping me from jumping in is the weak range of movement on the torsos. Very little forward or backwards on the torso.

Has anybody dissected the torso to see what's hindering the range? Can it be improved? I feel like these should in theory be able to do what the Lightning Collection Power Ranger torsos can.

Hasbro uses a ball peg like most imports. Mattel I believe has a T peg that would require the upper torso to be split, but if you did this you could dremel the channel.

Check out page 852 in the fix up thread, there’s a pic there.
