    Castaway Toys Gloves

    Need some advice on how to get Castaway's gloves over the hands on a Doc Mego body. Heat 'em up or something? Any help would be appreciated.

    what i did was tajke off the actual hand and put it in the glove and then put the arm in attaching it to the hand pushing it down into the glove.

          The boots and gloves are a bit of a pain to put on but that wasn't an accident. In order to have the custom look, we had to lose some of the bulkiness to make them look more proportionate to the body. Be patient, they look great when you get them on. I've been putting some water in the microwave for 2-3 minutes to soften things up a bit. A tiny, tiny drop of Pam cooking spray also works well if you carefull not to get in on the figures clothes. put a drop on the heal of the foot if you're using a bodysuit without feet, the boot will slide right on. You could also put a drop on the figures hands, to slide the glove on. (be carefull not to ruin the clothes if you do this). Some good ole fashion elbow grease also works well.We sell the footless body suits so you cut down on the room needed for a boot to cover.

            I wish that cast a way can do all glove and boot colors.

              I just put the boots in hot tap water for a bit and they get right on.

                I applaud your thinking...it's is well worth it, too not have them "oversized", and bulky looking! GREAT Job Guys!!
