MU bicep swapping question
 
I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to swap MU figs at the bicep? I want to swap a couple of arms, but I don;t want to mess up my figs. Thanks.

I've swapped Daredevil's and Black Spiderman's. I just used the boil n' pop method and didn't have any trouble.

SSj3 Derek 04-22-2010 03:59 PM

I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the boil and pop method.

eisen 04-22-2010 06:24 PM

leave your figures in boiling water for about a minute, take them out, the plastic would have expanded due to the heat and hence you will be able to pop off the joints you need to switch. then immediately coolthe figures down with cold water to prevent warping.

Thanks Eisen. I modified it a little bit by holding my gf's hair dryer over the joint set on high to reduce the risk of warping, but it worked like a charm.

no problem man, whatcha workin' on, if you don't mind me asking? :D

I prefer the hairdryer version myself (specially if you plan to paint the arm). Do make sure that your arm has full rotaion before heating it up or you could cause the stem to break.

I was swapping arms and legs from the new Iron Fist to the old one. I like the Yellow Dragon, but the arms and legs on the new Iron Fist are definitely better.
