Another mod. I finally got a replacement Type S Muscular body from Classic TV Toys so I could move Bane over to it.
Here is Bane on the Original FTC Muscular body:

And here is Bane moved to the new body:

The fit, from the head to the clothing, was pretty good. Problem areas are moving the hands. They are a different connection and not a good fit, so I went with shrink tubing with moderate success. Maybe electrical tape would make for a better, tighter fit. The left arm band and sleeve are a little loose because the arms are not as thick as the regular body, but fit well enough.
With the soft rubber boots, keeping Bane standing will always take some extra work, but I like it. Just the improvement in the arms and not seeing the overall straps disappear into the shoulder joints makes the swap worth it.
