Anyone do a body swap yet on their Freddy or Jason?
I picked up a $10 Freddy at MMX and I've thought about doing this since I got home.
Freddy was found all taken apart, but I put him back together at the meet.
After seeing him for a couple weeks now, he is an awesome figure, but their bodies just don't do it.
He won't stand level (unless he's in military pose) because his feet are flat.
As soon as you pose him, his feet are so rigid, they turn cockeyed and he has no balance.
I thought maybe it was just this one, but I compared to Sean's and same deal.
So.
If you haven't seen a NECA body/Freddy like this, he has no movable neck.
There's a sculpted neck with a ball joint on top which connects the head.
The rest of the figure can be broken down accordingly (it seems) for the switchover.
I'm getting closer to modding this bad boy and it has Dremil written all over it.
I might want to salvage that nicely sculpted neck. I envision doing a precise cut, remove as much of the underside as possible with a Dremil tool.
Fashion a neck plug and attach to the TypeS torso. I get to keep the neck appearance, articulation and the added benefit of pose-ability and articulation.
