If I could, when separating the body parts and before putting them back together, I would put a small piece of plastic in the hole where they are connected so that when they are put back together, the figure would look taller because it would not sink to the bottom.
Interesting, I’ll have to try this. Currently I’m using the Superman from the Ultraman 2-pack with the pelvis joint/trunks from an AC1000. AC1000 has a slightly longer waist peg. I also swapped neck pegs to fix the shape of the head. This could really give it the final fix it needs.
Have you also tried extending the thigh joint where there is a swivel near the crotch area.. i think you can extend more height if that joint can be extended extracted..
So I tried this method and compared it to the Superman from the Superman and ultra man two pack and 2 pack Superman is taller than this? I don’t understand it since he’s on the same body.
Looks fantastic, what a difference. Well done!
Thanks for this experiment! I considered buying Solar Superman to make my definitive one taller, but your video saved me money! 👍🤘
Surgery time it is!!!!. Thanks for the info, super cool of you to share this tip Thank you....

@@hatswitchstudios Hey friend , that’s great to hear . Definitely go for it !!
I have 3 Hush Supes bodies, Im def gonna try it out.
Can u do this to mcfarlane rebirth superman?they got the same body right?
Yes , they are the same body buck . Go for it ! It will improve the articulation
The Rebirth Superman head is WAY better.
Have you also tried extending the thigh joint where there is a swivel near the crotch area.. i think you can extend more height if that joint can be extended extracted..
Have t tried that yet but will definitely give it a shot
Do you think this works with all McFarlane figures?
Yes , the regular 7” figures all have the same joint construction. I haven’t tried on any of the Mega Size figure yet .
Is there anywhere online to buy longer ball pegs other than buying extra mcfarlane figs just for the purpose ? .
Did a google search didn’t find anything. Best bet might be to get some clearance figures at Ross, Walmart
Some eBay sellers sell different parts for customizing. You could get lucky and find the parts, or buy a loose TDKR bane head just for the next peg
In the comics Superman is 6'3 and Batman is 6'2. So they are almost even in height.

Hey friend, likely do to the fact the torso peg could not be pushed as far down as that 2 pack version .
What is wrong with the engineering dept at mcfarlane that they can’t figure this out?? really.
Also, no need to boil anything
