I didn't realize this swap didn't necessarily need hot water/a hairdryer to do, so decided to take a chance and was able to make the switch fairly smoothly with the exception of getting the right arm back into the shoulder joint--actually started sweating trying to push that back in and was SO relieved when it did. 😅

Thank you I wish you made a video a month earlier, not your fault ofc :) I did it myself, it was kinda trial and error, but I was all sweat since I didn't check how the shoulder joints should be positioned.

So sorry for the delay

Anyone else got the issue of having two left shoulders? Not the actually shoulder piece, but the butterfly joint that the shoulder plugs into on mine is backwards on the right side. I didn’t notice it at first, but now I can’t unsee it. And the figure feels super delicate so I don’t even want to try to fix it. Ngl for $100 it’s pretty disappointing but not anything to get up in arms about. Mafex Customer Support doesn’t work for me from the states either so nothing I can rly do about it 😢

It actually improves the anatomy. The shoulder muscle on the front is too prominent with the unfixed shoulders.

Thx

It's not that distracting. I would rather have a tight shoulder joint. Weak or damaged shoulder joints, means no swinging or web shooting poses = pointless Spidey fig.

Yeah not necessary to swap

I did it in my classic suit version and broke the arm. Did get a replacement but now I have 2 left soldiers. Its not noticeable but ain't risking it again

Imagine buying a 100 dollar figure and having to swap its shoulders. Between that, the fragile wrists, and the atrocious paint I've seen on some copies, Im really glad I passed on this.

I’ve done it on all 3 of my copies. I’ve just taken the shoulders apart and fixed them. No hairdryer needed for me. Only thing I had to do was fix the peg hole on one of the shoulders for all figures so it could fit.

You need to push back the shoulder piece deeper inside so it will reveal the joint, then can pop in the bicep piece back into the joint revealed.
