    CTVT lower white legs transplants

    Just ordered a few CTVT Space 1999 figures and since i hear there bodies suck, i want to know if the lower white legs will work on a vintage type2 body or the bodies from DOC MEGO? anyone try it? thanks

    They do, but it's best to use the "undies" body part from the CTVT donor. I've only tried this twice, using Trek legs (before Doc made this obsolete). With the Mego "undies", the CTVT legs had a habit of sinking up into the body because the leg holes were ever so larger than the upper legs. Swapped Undies, and they worked fine.
    Mind you, this only happened on one of the swaps...the other worked out ok with the Mego pelvis!?

        That might work....I have used Doc's knee pin replacements to fix a CTVT (God only knows why) so the hole is roughly (tight fit) the same size.

          LOL. Tell me about it. I just called CTV due to several of my figures having issues with their bodies. He sent me all new ones and even an extra figure.

          Good service there.
