    More Playmates Trek conversions



    Naptha head shrinks, swivel shoulders for bulk on new Trek bodies, and re-seamed Playmates 9" outfits. I'll be slowly working my way through TNG, then on to Voyager probably.

      Nice job! I like the fact that you upgraded to swivel biceps. I would love to see Mego start making figures with swivel biceps. I get the desire to keep with tradition, but they have enough variations from vintage (like the neck plug) that I would welcome the increase in poseability.

        The swivel helps fill out the shoulders in the shirts. At this point I'll Frankenstein anything to get the right look. I'm starting to get a system down, goal is to do two or three suits at a time so I can move this along.

                Awesome shrinks and uniform tailoring Steve.
                I always thought it was a shame that Playmates did not release 10" Kang, Kor, Yar, Quark The Ferengi, Leeta, B'Elanna Torres, Neelix.
                I am really looking forward to see what Mego does with this license as well.
                I post in thy general direction!

                  Swivel biceps as in Swat or Rookies figures? Or is there a new swivel bicep body out now?
                  "When not too many people can see we're all the same
                  And because of all their tears,
                  Their eyes can't hope to see
                  The beauty that surrounds them
                  Isn't it a pity".

                    I think one is SWAT and one is a skinny wrassler set, with Mego hands added.
