Interchangeable arms/hands

Oh yeah definitely. Hands are small and light so the magnets hold 'em well. I was worried about the "extended claws" hands on my Wolvie being too heavy but they stay on great.

Arms and torsos be much too heavy.

Funny that you should be conversing about this >



Cuz it worked out pretty good for me.

More in my WIP Thread.

Right, because Wolvie's hands are puny, they weigh nothing so they stay on just fine, you can't do that with say an upper-torso or a heavy hammer-hand, it'll just fall off with a little jolt.

Or you could sand down the sides of the head of the peg some, so that it is easier to pull out

Cause that's how it is on the Sota street fighter figures

Guess so, then round-off the edges under the peg so nothing snags?

I imagine taking the hands out and dremeling/cutting a slit about 3mm into the peg would work, like atgscl said

like in this quick illustration:

Keep in mind heavy parts like a Skrull/Thing fist aren't going to stay on with little magnets, you're going to need to make a peg with a screw or something.

You should really do all work BEFORE you paint, if your dremel or knife slips and you ruin the paint-job, you're gonna be kicking yourself.

yeah guys, I actually meant a finished custom, like for example a super-skrull with different arms.

yeah, I did make a interchangeable head when the custom was already done. I heated it and pulled it off, then did the other steps as I posted above...and he never stated that the custom was finished or not...

I don't even use that method . The only interchanble figure I made was swapping the heads. I just sanded down the neck peg and put the head on, if it fits on snugly then I was done if not, I used a light coat of superglue over it.

I don't suggest making magnetic hands/arms/legs unless you're going to use the figure for display only.

Use those strong earth magnets and embed it into the joint. I think VP made a tutorial on a magnetic neck joint for his Grifter.
