    You could use a 2 part,hardening clay & sculpt them as well by adding to the forearms of the figure.Magic Sculpt,Multiput,or even some epoxy/plumbers puddy would probably work well.

      I have always Wanted to.
      I thought about Boosting the Arms from that recent line that came out a few yrs back.

          I have one of those, and the figure is only 5 inches, so it'd be a bit small for mego. Thinking about a mego chest/arms with mego kid legs and pelvis if that will work.

            Even at 5inches tall,.. I kinda thought the Forearms were big enough. Keep us posted. I am very curious. Also,.. Mezco Made a 12inch one,.. if you wanted to work in your scale Bolt.

              Want to make him shorter, like the runt that he is, especially if I go on to make Bluto out of a FC Sabretooth so he's huge compared to him. For a cartoon version, Mezco's figure proportions ar about right, so I think they are a bit too small for Mego size.

                      I actually started a Popeye years ago using Hulk forearms and lower legs on a regular Mego body. Could never figure out what to do for a head, so the Hybrid body is sitting in my customs fodder somewhere. The limbs need some fine tuning to fit just right, but they do work...not sure about on a lion rock body though?

                        Been playing around with some junk parts and I am going to use some Bratz boys feet for the shoes, since they look cartoony.
