Post subject:  Cross-brand compatibility

Getting ready to jump back into customizing after nearly 20 years away from the hobby (hey there, old timers! Remember me?) and I've been looking for a good resource on parts compatibility between the various modern 1/18 lines (ME Joes, MTF, BFS, Dime Novel Legends, JoyToy, etc). I've been able to find the most info on BFS versus MTF, and have a good sense of their structural differences, but not so much beyond that.

Any recommendations?

At this point Marauder and Dime Novel Legeds are about the only ones completely compatible with themselves. Boss Fight just added thigh and rocker ankles to their base bodies after already have to extend their torsos a bit. So while you cna still swap some stuff easily, newer with older might take a smidge more effort. All 3 of those are close in compatibility, not 100% but in the 80-90% because of the different torsos. Animal Warriors of the Kingdom, Eagle Force, and Zica's Sectar's/Captain Action also have some captaility.

Jazwares Fortnite and Spinmaster's Justice League/The Batman are also close with pretty similar stylings and articulation. Not 100% perfect because character size differences, but overall constrauction pretty close.

Star Wars Vintage collection got left in the dryer too long and while they might be in scale with each other, they are teeny tiny next to any other 3.75"-4" figures, but heads, hands, and feet work with the other lines.
