Is it possible to do a thigh swap on a ratchet joint figure without doing a torso swap? I wanna put e54 Swann thighs on a E67 Cedric body but I can’t crack torsos. Assuming you mean from below the thigh cut, then yes. |

Some thighs aren't compatible with others - and the annoying thing is, you don't know until you try it. It might look like the legs will match up just fine, only to find that the pegs or the plugs (or both!) are completely different. |

You can’t put thighs from a ball joint hip on ratchet thighs. Peg length is way different on each. But you could just convert the ratchet hip to a ball joint and swap at the hip. |

When putting swanns thighs on Cedric it leave a little gap at the joint, I'm not sure if you could dremmel out the inside of the tight to make it fit more snug.. However Cedric tighs go onto Swann fine |

I can't crack torsos either, but I was able to swap thighs with an older elite Kofi (back when he had the Cody Rhodes/Dolph Ziggler torso) and the pieces fit perfectly together to fix up a more accurate Cedric elite. |

For those with the benefit of flash photography....     Found the new Elite 76 Christian today. But I was always impartial to the E & C run. So this is what I went with. a) looks awesome! b) is it just me, or did mattel make those hands just slightly too big? |

So I hated how the new Braun had baby hands .So I took the hands from his newest basic and removed them from the arms .Slightly melted the plastic piece and reformed it a bit so it fits in the new replaceable figures .I made sure to heat up the new figures handsocket areas after they cooled .Works very well I will take photos later of my process .

Thinking about converting the SDCC MrT into a more accurate SNME intro version. I don’t believe Mattel has made the springy flex bar but does anyone know if Jakks did? Maybe with Rude?  |

How easy do UE Arms fit on Elite Shoulders? They’re exactly the same. Just heat, pop, and swap. |
