Becoming Rather Handy

Today I made some modifications to Denzel and Tariq so that their hands would fit better


Denzel is on a Toyfare Final Fantasy Ryan Whittaker body and he's using Hot Toys hands.  The wrist pegs for the hands are too loose for this body.  I didn't want to make any permanent modifications, so I did some brainstorming.  I ended up taking some of the clear plastic bands that secure dolls to the inside of their boxes, and I wrapped them around the wrist pegs.  Now the hands fit, and I can remove the hands and use them for another figure in the future if I need to.

Tariq is on a Blue Box body, and I don't even know what kind of hands he's using.  GI Joe perhaps?  All I know is that the wrist pins were too long and too wide for this body.  I didn't mind making permanent modifications to this one, because I think that these hands are going to stay with this body for good.  I used an exacto knife to carve away part of the wrist pin, and I cut the ends off with a kitchen knife.  It's not pretty, but it works.

Now these guys are ready for action!
