      I'm with, Rich. But I keep holding out thinking that maybe someone can do this.

        I didn't notice that this thread went on to a second page. Cool stuff, Bob! Those look very nice!

          Those look great, Bob. 25 a pop for a rebuild is a bargain. I like the fist hand on the Luminos.

          When you repeg them for hands, can you switch out the CAW hands. That is, while they are on the body? That would be great to switch out between gripper hands and fist hands for the double action commander bodies.

          Oh, and the barbie/big jim matty camper conversion.... NICE!


          btw: if'n anybody wants to dump their SuperJoes, I would gladly trade for them.

            Thanks for the nice words guys. Means alot.

            rche - You could change out the gripper hands for fists. Thats why I like to use the CastAway hands.

            Some of the SuperJoes that you find on E-bay are missing parts like the forearms or legs. If those are missing from your SuperJoes, I cast them in a close color match SuperJoe Flesh, Blue, or dark Green. I can do clear, but it's not as perfect as I would like it to be.

              I have these molds of the body parts I got in a lot and I think there is a mold of the hands Let me look and see to confirm this but I will need to get them to you guys so you can have hands, I don't know how to cast stuff. I have made a bunch of superjoes using the Zica body and the original head and clothing. I made a neck adapter from the original body to fit in a Z-body. I have also made a bunch using the UFC body and using the wrestler hands from Jakks, they are awesome!!!

                    You won those hand molds? I remember seeing those on eBay. It would be very cool to see what some of the expert casters on the Museum could do with those.

                      If it's the auction I'm thinking of that seller was a real JERK and I really got the feeling he was trying to be shady on something.
