I'm probably the only idiot who didn't know this...

I have a silver soldier ape with a gem mint outfit and accessories, but the body was a little wonky. So I bought a carded sealed soldier ape (the card was cut in half and in terrible condition) and broke it open to put the silver outfit on the new figure. When I took the gloves off, I saw that the sleeves are hooked onto the thumbs. I always have trouble getting gloves on my soldier apes without the sleeves bunching up. This is the first time I ever opened a sealed soldier ape, so I didn't know how Mego handled it. Here I am, major Mego Apes collector and I didn't know this. And I am man enough to admit it.

I never did it as a kid. Or now. But they did come that way. Even Aquaman came that way. It sort of stretches the sleeve a little. They should have done that for Iron Man instead of giving him short sleeves.

yep found that out when someone sold me a mint figure.

but if you are not careful, the thumb can push threw the sleeve and make a hole.

[batmanmc]

[kryptosmaster]

I did that as a kid as well.
I also do it with Batman's gloves.

I never knew until I bought a figure 6 months ago, and it had a hole made by the thumb so I still wasn't sure.

Just to make you feel good, i haven't collected POTA figures yet so....( in my best Johnny Carson Voice).. i did not know that!

I don't do it for fear of poking a hole in the outfit ... but man what a headache would it save ... but I've mastered the art of putting a slight spin on the sleeve and then twist the glove on and in doing so it straightens out the sleeve LOL LOL

[Meule]

Didn't know they came that way, but I figured it out myself that was the way to get gloves on

[SlipperyLilSuckers]

I didn't know either and I am woman enough to admit it.

Was clueless. . . . .and proud of it. Interesting point. Thanks for the pointer and history lesson on this!

[shellhead]

This is really good to know, I've been using those little teeny clear rubber bands my daughter uses in her hair.

[English Paul]

I was aware of it because of a Batman I once purchased that still had his gloves on but it's still a great point to mention.

[cjefferys]

I remember that from opening new figures as a kid.
