Transformers ROTF Scalpel / Doctor Mod Leg Fix plus extras!

Here's my Scalpel figure and all the mods I did. They are small and subtle, but they greatly improve the figure for me.

I fixed his Legs
Swapped his hands
extended his neck
rotated his glasses
flipped n shaved his antennae.

Let me know if you do the same, and how it works for you!

ok serious question, have your toy's socket joints in the upper part of the legs split yet? cause all of them are like this, all 6 of them on mine cracked, and when I looked at the ones in the stores all of them had this problem, is there a way to fix this?

[chris24jc]

@EricCartman421 Yes, a few of mine have, luckily not all, but I'm cautiously gentle. I really wish they would have used a sturdier or rubberier plastic. Very disappointing on what is really a cool figure.

To fix it, I would use a small drop of super glue, let it seep into the crack, and try to pinch it closed while it dries, (while it's still on the leg. If you take it off, it will crack open again when putting the leg back on.) but move the joint around a bit while it dries.

@chris24jc Hmmmmmm truthfully I have tried glue before and it didn't go very well.....I could try again the way you did, thanks :)

[chris24jc]

@EricCartman421 Yea, it can be a tricky business... and with tiny joints like these, even more so. Best of luck! :)

@chris24jc #LOL ... maybe he don't like kids so he rather pop his eyes out :)

[chris24jc]

@BlackSpid3y LOL. I'm not sure mine has that eye problem... What are you doing to surprise Scalpel so much that he does a cartoon double take? LOL!

[BlackSpid3y]

@chris24jc yeah exactly ... i fell the same way . i mean its cool but even the eyes pop out sometime .

[chris24jc]

@BlackSpid3y Yeah, tell me about it... this figure is fragile enough already. It sucks cause he's a really cool figure. I wish they made the legs out of a more rubbery soft plastic or something more durable. The fragility of it makes me not want to transform him as much.

[BlackSpid3y]

good idea , but we have to be really careful . Mine broke last time when i was playing with it . this was one of my favorite scout class figure . too bad ...
