I'm interested in purchasing some HACKS blanks and was thinking of getting some gear and parts from Marauder INC . I see that the Marauder figures come in parts ( head, legs, torso) are those parts compatible with the HACKS blanks ? Could I put that HACKS torso on a the Marauder's lower half ? has anyone here combined parts of both ? |

Heads, yes, but you may need to drill some holes a little deeper as the double ended neckball of the HACKs figures tend to make the MTF heads sit a little too high, but for the most part they are compatible. Legs, yes. You have to heat up the HACKS thighs to pop out the innner thigh but the hip balls are pretty much the same fit wise. MTF hips should just pop off but you can warm them up real quick to swap out. Torsos, not so much. MTF have solid torsos that connect to a ball peg in the waist. Meanwhile HACKS have a much more complicated system that works great with other HACKS parts but won't translate to other figures without some modifications. You can kind of get a better idea about the construction differences here, but that MTF exploded view doesn't accurately reflect that the torso and waist are each solid pieces and not easy to crack/cut open. http://wiki.joecustoms.com/wiki/Figure_Construction |

Some do, some don't. Just different placement of the neck "cup" in the head. Some heads are a little bit more noticable than others. It is a super easy fix. |

My first attempt to combine the 2 was ok, but I did lose waist and torso articulation. I trimmed the lower HACKS ab to fit the Marauder waist and super glued it in place, then glued the upper HACKS torso to lower part. But here's a good tutorial for combining HACKS and Marauder. https://youtu.be/fWwqD8bHm5U He also has one for combining HACKS and Acid Rain, but I adapted it for HACKS and Joe waist combining and was able to keep all articulation. Resolute Snake Eyes waist or similar size is an almost perfect size match for HACKS combining. https://youtu.be/Jx170ysy74U |

The head is one of the alternate heads from Boss Fight's Knights of the Accord figure. Pretty quick and simple if you use a Dremel to cut away the torso in the Joe waist and then it's same process as Shady's video tutorial for combining a HACKS torso to a Acid Rain waist. Except I didn't glue the HACKS torso to the Joe waist, so I could switch out HACKS torso's if I wanted. |
