    Short-sleeved Lex?

    For anyone who bought the Super Friends Lex Luthor, does your figure have short sleeves like mine does? Are they all this way or is mine defective and I should exchange it for a new one?

    Thank you.

            I want to get this figure, but the short sleeves bug me too. Someone on FB suggested getting different hands, then getting a pair of green cloves in the classic Mego "oven mitt" style. This should cover up the ends of the short sleeves - plus, the gloves give it that extra Mego-y touch! Thinking about doing this.

            But yeah, the short sleeves thing is weird to me. I see this on lots of their figures now. I guess those short sleeves are supposed to meet the top of the molded gloves so it looks seemless? But I'd rather have long sleeves that tuck inside of the gloves.

                I popped off the gloves so I could pull the sleeves down and tape them, then added back the gloves. Looks better.
                I also added eye liner as my Lex had beedy little pupils and no eye liner.
