FTC Hands onto Type S Body

[amby87]

I know this was discussed before but I can't find what thread it was in. I have an FTC Justice league Batman with the sewn on gauntlets and blue plastic hands that I want to switch over to a Type S body. Someone before mentioned using some kind of shrink tubing to "beef up" the diameter of the FTC hand peg so it will fit snugly in the Type S wrist socket. Does anyone know what size tubing I would have to use and where I can find it (i.e. hardware store, Wal-mart, etc.)? I apologize if I started this thread in the wrong category.

It's somewhere in here but a bit of tape will serve the same purpose

Should you decide to go with the heat shrink tubing the size is 1/8" and the shrink ratio is 2:1. I'm guessing most hardware stores should carry it.

Thanks Craig!!! I bought some heat shrink tubing at a local hardware store and tried it. It really does the trick. The size you said fits just right and really conforms to the peg shape well when heated. I now have a solid, good quality FTC/Zica/Cast-a-way Justice League Batman figure with blue hands. I know this has been brought up before but I hope you guys do a kickstarter for female and teen type S bodies someday, so we can put all of our FTC figures on good solid bodies. You could maybe then add a fat body, hulk body and starfleet boot lower legs as stretch goals, or something like that anyway. Just a wish of mine; that's all. Thanks again!!!

Thank you for the suggestion!!! I can see where that would work too. I may try that sometime.
