    Hulk Boots

    I was wondering if anyone in the museum here has ever been able to fit an 8 inch Hulk figure with GI Joe combat boots. Will they fit ? Would they need to be modified ? I am building a custom Bane figure on a Hulk body and need some advise or tips about boots before I buy. THANKS.

      photo[1].jpgI have already painted the Hulk flesh color, and have a cool costume on him in my opinion. I think he just needs the boots but I do not want to buy them if they will not fit. I would be ordering the boots through the mail, so there is no way to test fit them.

        If worse comes to worse, you can either clip or melt his feet to make them fit in whatever type boot you get.

          Since he is being carded I could also chop his feet off and just put his ankles inside the boots.

                The biggest inconvenience is that the original Hulk legs don't have articulation at the ankles so theres no way to enter the feet into a boot unless you slit the boot on its back top to bottom. So its either slit the boots or chop the feet. As for boots big enough you may want to try those for the 10" Toy Biz X-Men Movie figures...

                    Make pleather boots that lace down the front with a hard sole. That's a lot of work, though.

                      Would not the Doc Mego Musclular body work?
                      I thought it had Ankles so you could easily remove the feet if need be?


                      If not then I would agree..dremel (saw) the feet off at the ankle, and
                      then fit (glue) the boots on there....

                      I'm contemplating a Solomon Grundy custom and looking at the Dr. Mego body for this exact reason....
