SS Snake Eyes to Hot Toys body conversion help.

Firefly1979 · Aug 23, 2010

Okay. I am going to replace my Sideshow Snake Eyes body with a Hot Toys Truebody or Wesker body. What do I need to make everything fit right? Do I need adaptors? Anyone have a link? Any help is appreciated. THANKS!

DO NOT DO THIS!

It's way more work than is needed and you're more likely to snap the fragile HT knee post while doing the mod. I'll be more than happy to go through the conversion process again if a mod agrees (Khev? Buttmuncher?) to sticky it so we don't have to continually repost it time and again.

Why??

The only trick IS NOT TO PULL FROM THE KNEE POST DIRECTLY thats all...

Using the tweezers as a lever /handle for example, will be fine (or anything else elongated resistant and thin and preferably made of metal would be useful as well).. and the knee post will come out quickly and safely

I have done this , following this method 8 or 9 times.. and never broke or snap the knee post... but If you pull directly from the Knee post.. then it, eventually could brake :thud:

why would you bother changing the whole lower leg when the ball joint ankle on the TT fits perfectly into the Snake Eyes boot?

EXACTLY! Prog remembers! :lol

Why bother even risking it? Just nuke some water, dip the boots, pop out the SS pegs, pop in the HT ones. Takes less than a minute and you're golden!

Porting instructions for swapping a Pro figure to a TT should be stickied. Sure, it's easy enough once you do it it once but anyone who's new to the hobby will benefit from it.

Really once you know what to do with the ankles and wrists you're golden converting between the Pro and TT.

Thanks again for those who pioneered the work :bow

Get him some soft Newline Boots. Worlds better.

supermarvel1 · Aug 23, 2010

I guess I don't really understand all the fuss. :dunno

Go easy on me, I'm relatively new!! I put SnakeEyes on a Duke body to give him a little more heft and height. Worked like a charm and maintains continuity amongst the line!! That's just my 2 cents! :wave
