Mego 50th EASY Leg Fix/Mod

[Orion1]

Now that the rest of my original order of Mego Super Heroes finally arrived I had a chance to figure out how to fix the Leg issue.

Apologies if someone already shared this info, I was not keeping up to date with the news here for the last few weeks.

It is extremely easy to fix and here's a few pictures.

First are two standard Robins the one on the Left is going to be modified.



Here is the normal range of Knee motion.




Heat up or Boil a cup of water and insert the figures legs in the water to soften the plastic. Then simply pop off the knee joint from the upper thigh.



Here is a view of the back of the Legs with the knee joint removed. While the plastic is still pliable from the Heat simply trim off a bit behind the leg about a finger nail clipping amount - that's it.





Then pop it back together.

Here is the difference it makes on the figure and it doesn't make that much of a visible difference on the Legs.






I like this new Mego body over any other body made in this scale, and I'm planning to do this mod on the rest of my new Megos.

That's simple and does look good. Thanks!

Seems to me using a dremel on the thigh in a similar fashion would work, too.

I posted one, but yours is better! Well done!

These visuals make all the difference for a non-dextrous non-customiser like myself. Thank you!
