      Hmmmm....

      The bodies are tricky, 'cos they're made out of different plastics. I've used powdered dyes and hot water.... works pretty good for the limbs, but since the torso is hard plastic it doesn't take dye so good. BUT: because it's hard plastic, you can paint it. Matching the colours is tricky, but if you can't see too much of the body under the outift it's not a big deal.

        After seeing that Hulk custom, paints seem like the way to go.
