Body Hack | Hot Toys Body repair, Help needed

[_328th_Bantar]

Hello guys, I have two hot toys bodies, one has a broken leg, right at the piece that attaches it to the hip, the other one has a broken shoulder, well the piece that goes from the shoulder to the inside of the chest is broken.

I need to transplant the legs and hips from the shoulder broken body to the broken leg-hip body.

How do I do it? I don't want to risk making another damage, they are my last HT bodies available.

Thanks!

I have a lot of HT bodies and have done many part swaps and it is very easy. If you are going to swap parts it would be easier to move the arms over than the legs, First you need to remove rubber caps that hide the screws (I use a thumb tack).
Remove the 2 screws that hold the chest together, pop it open, remove broken arm, remove screw from shoulder joint, repeat for other body, replace joint. Every thing should be easy to put back together, than pop rubber caps back on.
Its more tricky replacing the hip joint, after unscrewing the thigh you have to pop it apart and theres a risk cracking it.
Hope this helped.

Thanks Kouzia, I just took a quick look on that post because I'm working right now, are you sure that isn't only for knees?

And then the body I was trying to use from the waist up took a dive, land on its left shoulder and broke at that exact point.
