    How well do the DC Retro Action Super Hero outfits fit on DrMego bodies?

    Please forgive the stupid question and I suspect I already know the answer. I want to replace the bodies of my DC Retro Action figures and thought I'd use DrMego bodies. I just wanted to check first. Also do the Retro hands fit on Drmego bodies. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

    I don't know about the hands but the suits fit just fine.

      Thank you very much. I only asked about the hands because I thought it might be worth swapping them just so they have different hands.

        I want to say the RA hands fit on Doc bodies. I know I swapped some RAs with Doc and Castaway bodies and am pretty sure I kept the RA hands.

          I switched all my retro action bodies(except for the 2 women) out to the Doc Mego swivel arm bodies and all the costumes fit fine. The Darkseid costume was a bit of a booger to get on because of all the padding. The hands fit fine also.

              You can put FC hands on also, you just have to drill out the holes a lil bigger.

                I switched the heads and hands of my Retro Action Superman and Martian Manhunter figures to Dr. Mego swivel arm bodies and it worked out great. Superman kept his original hands mainly to make him look different. Thanks to everyone for the help and for Doc on making the bodies.

                    They work well on a CTVT body too.

                      I had the two Doc swivel arm bodies on hand so I used them. I would post a picture if I could. It is definetly worth upgrading the figures to better bodies. I did notice that the RA heads can be a bit stubborn to remove by the boil and pop method but it did work out.

                        I think some members have also used Zica bodies to upgrade RA.

                          Any body would be an improvement over the Retro Action ones.
