[Trivial Psychic]

Despite being a solid figure, I really wanted to like the Netflix Elektra a lot more than I did once I got her in hand. Yet there were some little things that really killed the figure for me, namely the "Popeye" arms, and the fact that both heads sat a little high on the neck. So I finally got around to fixing it.



The arms from Polaris were a perfect skin tone, and after a little bit of hot water and some surgery (and dremeling) to remove the cuffs from the Elektra arms, she now looks the way I think Hasbro originally intended. In addition to the improved proportions, the Polaris arms have a bit more bend at the elbow than the Popeye arms, improving the articulation a bit (for even better articulation, you can also use the arms from a Black Series EPIV Luke Skywalker, as they are a perfect fit and feature double jointed elbows, I just didn't want to sacrifice my Luke...) I also burrowed both heads just a little bit deeper so they sit lower on the neck, giving her a much more natural appearance.

Was really relieved that Hasbro incorporates pegs for the arms of their female figures. Made this project MUCH easier since there was no need to dremel and crack the torso of the figure open. Just boil and pop. I'm much happier with her now...
