    first Matty body tragedy at my house

    Supes finally came apart.

    He has been enjoying daily playtime since Easter, but my son brought him to me today with no legs and said, "can you fix him Papa?". A little elastic, and the 6mdSupes is back up up and away.

            I've found if you tie a loop around each leg, and then connect the two legs in the torso by using a third piece of elastic to tie these loops together, it really improves the sitting ability of these figures....hope that makes sense?

              great tip, but at $20 a pop, we shouldnt have to do anything to them.

                Depends on how rough they're being played with

                  Supes got played with, but not thrown down a flight of stairs or anything like that. Looked like the thread gave way on the band holding the legs together.

                    Really? For $20 they should last a lifetime while being played with? I'd like some of what you're smoking...

                        I used the matty body on my Talosian custom and I inserted the clear 3/8 tubing in his torso to keep him from bending so much and it worked very well. I am going to make a Superman with a UFC body to make him look juiced up. Then he will have super roid rage!!! LOL

                          I just saw them here in my comic shop for $25.99 right beside Emce Trek and I must say these new figures look really skinny beside the treks???
                          I am considering picking them up to switch heads and costumes to castaways but not sure if I will.I don't want to stretch out the emblems and ruin them...LOL

                            my GL has paint rubs on his head and all he did was ride in a carriage with Barbie a few times and fight the evil Ken doll.

                              Can't say anything about GL, but our Green Arrow is holding out like a champ. No rubs, no breaks, no wobblies, no lurch, and he has had plenty of good times saving the universe. He is, however, without bow at the moment, but we can usually make do with some tinkertoys. Surprisingly, the hat has managed to always make it back to the toybox.
