What do Mattel arms look like on Jakks? I'm planning on doing an American Bad Ass Undertaker, I want to do RA13 Taker body with Mattel arms.

I just want to say that I love how much sturdier the shoulder joints are than Jakks figures. You can really tell from the one picture, that they are much more carefully designed on the inside.

Thanks so much for this post. I do have a few questions: 1) Did you use any thing like boiling water to remove anything? 2) What tools did you use? 3) How difficult was the torso to crack open? More questions when I think of them and thanks again |

Can you put a basic torso on an Elite lower body? I want to create a hybrid basic/Elite because I HATE Elite torsos because I feel that the torso joint kills the look of the figure.

Excellent work. This should be moved to the Customs Support Center with a little info. on how you took it apart. This could be very helpful to customizers. But it does seem very similar to Jakks.

That's pretty interesting. Thanks for those pics and my condolences go out to the figures that were sacrificed.

I really don't know what to say to this, but thanks for making it happen lol.
Mattel's Santino is a perfect example of what Mattel is capable of; it took Jakks three tries, and all three fall short of Mattel's debut figure.

What do Mattel arms look like on Jakks? I'm planning on doing an American Bad Ass Undertaker, I want to do RA13 Taker body with Mattel arms. The Mattel arms will not fit in a Jakks figure without filing down the interior shoulder nub. They are much thicker than the Jakks ones and will not fit into the Jakks socket. so i can make jakks/mattel hybrids can u put a cw jakk torso on that Santino mattel legs Depends on the parts It will fit, but I don't know how it will look. I don't have a spare cw torso to test it. Sold most of Jakks last year. Thanks so much for this post. I do have a few questions: 1) Did you use any thing like boiling water to remove anything? 2) What tools did you use? 3) How difficult was the torso to crack open? More questions when I think of them and thanks again 4) how hard was it to remove the arm from the shoulder? 5) How can you ruin that amazing Santino Figure? 1) yes, hot water for the heads, arms and legs. 2) Needle nose pliers, allen wrench and a screwdriver 3) The Mattel Torso was easier to crack than the Jakks one. The internal construction of the Mattel torso makes it sturdier and less likely to 'tear' and bend. 4) I separated the torso before taking the arms out. I don't think you could remove and replace the entire arm without cracking open the torso. 5) I had an extra one. I wanted a second Beth Phoenix figure so that I could add a gloss finish to her outfit. The result was fantastic imo  Can you put a basic torso on an Elite lower body? I want to create a hybrid basic/Elite because I HATE Elite torsos because I feel that the torso joint kills the look of the figure. So long as the 'spool' that connects the pelvis to the torso is the same size. I would think that they would be the same size, but you never know. |
