Are the shoulders removable from the torso? I can boil/pop and heat up the arms and pull them off but the shoulder piece seems attached to the torso. Also what about the legs. I'm getting a sense the older Hasbro bodies and the newer hasbro bodies have two different styles and don't really jive to well for customizing. Thanks.

The shoulders can be removed, but only if you dremel and split the body, which of course, raises your risk of permanent destruction of the figure if you are not careful.

To add on that thought, out of curiosity, if Hasbro started offering a Marvel Legends "Blank", primed and ready to paint, along the line of what they used to with Mighty Mugs, and the way other companies such as Funko put out blanks for their respective lines, would you pick them up? (They could even package it under the Marvel Legends line) Seems to me it would be a great way to get some more life out of their molds, and I would be all over that in a heartbeat, as fodder starts to get expensive after a while.
