I recently bought this exclusive from an eBayer in the US and beforehand I was aware of the issues this figure had; the big one been articulation or the lack of it. So basically I set out to correct it, by adding- * Bicep swivels; arms dipped in boiling water to soften plastic and a clean cut throught the centre of the bicep, screws were used to make the pegs. * Thigh swivels; same as above. * The neck peg was basically a rectangle and prevented his head been able to rotate at all, so I took my dremell and reshaped it to form a regular peg as seen on Marvel Legends for example. Plugged the peg hole with apoxie sculpt and jammed the head back on, gave it a twist around and let it set. The added artic makes a world of difference, just see the pics below. Enjoy! SD ![]() |

Hey Hemble,
Yeah the screws not only keep the joints tight but they ensure they'll be no breakage. The screws I used were about 2 inch long for the thighs and an inch for the biceps (a rough guess) and they've got a mushroom shaped top that fits a flat head screw driver and about half of the actual screw is smooth, not cork screwed through out.
Hope that helps, not sure what the proper name is though
Btw I loved Your Indy repaint, you did a brilliant job and it's inspired me to give mine ago.

What type of screws did you use?
And does the screws keep the joints tight?
Cheers
