Finally fixed one, after 40 years of hating the short arms but loving the figures.

If ever, any figure has needed an arm change, that was Sgt Rock . I bought him recently and cannot but laugh at it . Great mod.

Thanks, guys.

It's such as shame that Remco let the short arms make it all the way through the production process. If the arms were just a little bit longer, the line would be more embraced by collectors.

I didn't do anything with the legs. The not-so-great plastic Remco used on the legs/arms/heads was very waxy and they tend to warp. Much like the Mego Star Trek The Motionless Picture figures, you could line up 10 of them, and they'd all have slightly different stances. The front/back torso piece was made of a more rigid plastic, though. Oddly, these figures don't tend to discolor over time like Joe figures do.

Nice work! I had one of these myself and it all but disintegrated after a short while. All I had left was a boat and a gun.
