Criminal the fuck you doing here

Great video! At the time of this posting, I just got the Ravager Thor arms attached to the armored Thor torso. The RT shoulder pegs will not fit no matter how much you heat the plastic. I cannot stress enough how important the trimming of the shoulder pegs is to the process. I got lucky and trimmed just enough. Trim too much and you've wasted a figure for nothing. Good luck everyone!

Thanks so much! Yeah I tried pretty hard to jam the arms in without cutting(besides the little black square), but it just would NOT go in until I cut them up. It was nerve wracking for sure especially since I had literally never done it before making that video!

I’m so glad I found this video, before I saw this video I had swapped the arms but I left a gap because I didn’t know how to make the arms go in further

I also did this. I took the gauntlets off too but that was alot more work lol I had to dremel through where you pop the hands in and keep getting them hot so the glue would melt. Be careful because it will melt the plastic if you dremel for too long.

Yep I've had some different advice on the gauntlets. I'm going to try to keep it as simple as possible and hopefully it all works out!

Like your vids. Nice work. But for the arm swap try reversing it. You want to heat up the torso of armored thor and keep the arm pegs cool and ridged. That way the plastic of the torso will conform to the peg of the arms and you get a nice fit. Probably still have to trim the peg down though. I'll be doing this soon. Waiting on the figs to drop in price a bit though.

Yeah I didn't need to crack it, just used pliers to pull the arms at the shoulder, easier to grip than using a towel

Nice! I was worried about using pliers to pull as I didn't want to break the arms (or damage them) in an unfixable way since I was doing this for the first time. I figured cracking the torso was fine since it likely wouldn't be super usable without the arms afterwards too anyway.

I will just wait for an inevitable version of him without the mask etc. In fact, I can't wait to get that version to complete my love & thunder collection!

Black pieces? Do you mean the gauntlets? If that's what you mean then I have a separate video for that. If you're talking about the square black pieces on the arm pegs once you crack it, then the easiest thing is to use a wire cutter to just cut it off.

First off, that's a super fun idea! Secondly, Were you thinking to reuse the arms somewhere else? If not then you could just go the destructive route to get them out of there like with a rotary tool. Thirdly, Are you really hard set on using the lab coat from Reed? Would you be open to using a soft good? I only ask because if you use a soft good then you'll have the versatility of putting it on and removing as you see fit, plus it'll have some level of posability that the official version won't have. Here's one I found on ebay(no affiliation, just the first one I found) that would work well. If the soft goods is a no go(which is perfectly fine! everyone's way of collecting and modding is valid) then let me know! I'm gonna actually snag an KO Spidey myself now too!

Hopefully my AliExpress order doesn't take too long. I'm betting the body will need to be cracked and we can probably shape the arms in a way to make them "swappable" if that makes sense.

Im curious how the new starlord arms would look on ravager thor and if they would fit with the vest on as a jacketed look

@ComicallyToys

2 жыл бұрын

So armored Thor's arms are actually a good bit smaller than Ravager Thor. And I think Star Lords arms are close to armored Thor's arm size. Which basically means I think it may look a little weird because of the way they designed Ravager Thor's body being pretty big. I'll see if I can pop and swap the arms from Star Lord though. If it's a worthwhile thing to share then I'll make a video for you!

Yep I hear ya on that. You may be able to get them a little cheaper buying used or waiting for a sale though. I think I was able to get another set(because I like having the factory figure as well as a customized version) for like 18 each? Though if I wait long enough and keep hunting deal I'm sure I can eventually get them for under 15 each. And if I ever do more mods(hopefully!) then I'll have some decent fodder from the Ravager Thor body.

Should have heated the socket rather than the arm. It still needed trimmed though. Or you could dremel out the socket. Good job. I’m working on one as well. Thanks for the info.

@ComicallyToys

People are wanting a more accurate Thor from the new movie. He only wears the full armored suit for a few minutes in the movie. He mostly goes bare armed and no helmet. So this is my attempt to show that.

I have to laugh at the 4+ age rating on marvel Legends. I tried to do a head swap on a Silk figure last week. Nothing elaberate just the alternative head she came with. I tried pulling it, nothing. A bit more force nope, a lot of force. Head comes off with pin still in and the neck joint is damaged. Pin still stubornly jammed into the head. Needle nose pliers needed to force that out. Then work on the neck and she's kind of ended up like a bobble head. Im now watching you boiling stuff. Like i said 4+ 😆
