    Simple "Hunch Back" Fix

    Hey I saw this on Action figure insider and it looks like an alternative for those that want to fix the problem of the new Mattel figures from slumping over, but do not want to do modifications.

    I might give it a try.

    Nice easy fix! It doesn't cure the "thunder Thighs" problem...but at least he can stand upright.

      I noticed he mentioned that it limited some movement at the waist, which is cool by me I just open and display them, but if you buy them for the children I wonder if it will mess with the playability.

        If you're just gonna display them this is the easiest and cheapest solution

          I knew it would be easy to fix.

            I did not take my figures off off the card. Until I saw these pictures I did not realize that these bodies are held together the same way as the Playing Mantis Action Jacksons. Those PM AJ bodies tend to fall apart after a decade. I wonder if these will, too??

                  I am definitely going to give it a try. If it interferes with the playability for my son, the great thing about it is that you can remove it!! Thanks for sharing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                    I should try this, my GL is a little on the floppy side. For now I've wrapped masking tape around his waist.
