But if you were wanting to change out the legs from another line, good to see there are options. Hopefully that plastic t-bar is good and sturdy. it's been rare, but the marvel ones occasionally are problems. And cast t-bars almost never hold up.
I should have guessed it would be drbindy talking about getting the pants off these guys.
The T-bar is probably my most worrisome joint of them all. I'm really curious how the balljoints in the legs will size up with say a 25th era style metal T-bar. I'm not banking on straight out of the box compatibility but without the split thigh construction adapting the MTF thigh to a Joe or other size T-bar could be troublesome. If the MTF thigh joint is smaller than the Joe T-bar then all you have to do is dremel it out. But if its bigger then you'll need to fill it somehow. Man, now I'm wishing I had tried harder to keep all those loose 25th friction pads from when I was customizing. But hey, we're customizers. This is what we do, right?
Speaking of construction, has anyone seen or heard mention of how the shoulder joints connect with the torso? I'm assuming they'll just boil and pop like the elbows. I see too many QC issues with the shoulder pegs having the end disc like Joe arms and then sealing the two halves of the torso together around them.
Since these are coming soon I guess its time to dust off my "arm the MTF figures" weapons list I started during the Kickstarter.
