        My only concern is that a character will come out that requires a boot color that you guys don't have a color of. Already Sinestro will be a problem as far as the newer style boots go. At least you have the old style boots in a color that should work though.

They fit so tight in fact, you will need to heat them up to get them on over his stockings. Would be easier if you cut the feet out of Ollie's suit, but I didn't want to go that far.
          Whatever anyone does, don't cut the feet out. If it's really that hard to insert the boots over the leggings,... unbutton the back of the suit and slide them down off his legs a bit. Just give them about an inch of material past his toes, then try sliding them into the boot that way.

            I think you can dye (or at least paint) their new boots

              Yeah, but I am looking to keep everything to easy kitbashing. I don't do much customizing these days.

              HapSlash, why do you say that, personal bad experience? I ask, because I have seen customizers here say they have done that.

              The good thing about the material Mattel uses for the leggings, is that I had zero problems with them bunching up, even though I really had to shove his feet in the boots.

                Well I'm glad for that. ONE of these days I'll get around to ordering a figure and the biceps to try out.

                Never taken apart a Mago before. Learning how to instal swivel grip should be fun.

                        I used the same formula...but went with Cast-A-Way's "pointed" Toed Boot.
                        I have to call Mattel today about my 2nd and 3rd figures, but their bodies are awful. I will try to post more about them until after I get my call in and see what they want to do.
