Do Mego and CTVT figures have solid limbs?
Hi i need to shorten a figure for the right size and i want to cut out sectiond of thigh and calf and arms to shorten the length of them all. so are they all solid? and will hot glue hold them back together or will i need super glue? thanks everyone.

They're solid. Don't know about the hot glue tho"...The agony of my soul found vent in one loud, long and final scream of despair..." - Edgar Allan Poe -
yes, they are solid, and your best bet is to drill a hole in both ends after the cut and use the right size dowel rod to reinforce the limb. I use the free chopsticks at Chinese restaurants. I've yet to find a glue that holds that greasy CTVT plastic.You must try to generate happiness within yourself.

I asked a question about gluing on the EMCE forum, and Doc said that glue for ABS plastic was the thing to use. But that advice refers to EMCE's stuff, I don't know what would work on CTVT.Comment

what are you gluing ?
different plastics need different methods.Comment

I use superglue and the dowel method I mentioned previously. It also works to do a swivel bicep without the glue.You must try to generate happiness within yourself. If you aren't happy in one place, chances are you won't be happy anyplace. -Ernie BanksComment

I've never cut one apart but I was under the impression these are not solid but hollow at their widest points? You can see injection holes in some of them. Plus I have seen some limbs crushed in. Mainly talking about type 0/1 Megos.

This might work too...
