Decided to add ball jointed hips and ankles to a couple of those seven pack TMNT MOUSERs. Cut 'em apart, drilled out the sockets with a pin vise, and hollowed them out with a ball end bit in a moto tool. (use a bur/cutter, abrasive bits aren't going to work on the plastic the legs are made out of.) The balls are Lego levers.

Edit- Bonus feet together pose:

So...do you need me to PM my address?

Seriously, you made a cool toy (you know based on what I've only seen in pics *sniffle*) even cooler.

That's pretty damn ingenious.

Love it.

Other than cleaning up the edges where you cut them (mostly on the feet) this looks like a solid modification. If I could find this pack in stores I'd try to do the same thing.

I'm not a TMNT fan per se, but I did pick up the only Mouser pack I've seen on the pegs.

I like what you did with it.

Thanks, guys! I find myself posing these two that I've modified way too much.

MS, I didn't even realize those shavings were stuck to the edges like that, until I was posting the pictures.I've cleaned up the wost of it, since. This plastic is kind of a pain, with that stuff.

Jedi, I don't collect the line, but the MOUSERS looked like too much fun when I saw them on Matt Booker's blog.

I don't collect this line either, but I have 3 packs of M.O.U.S.E.R.s (and a lone Kraang I got last year) as they are soo damn cool

Yeah that's sweet. I like the ones my son has and would get some for myself if I found more. This is brilliantly executed

I don't collect TMNT myself. I've only purchased two items at retail, a MOUSERs pack and Leatherhead.

I heard someone mention the MOUSERs were out and I looked around whenever I was out and about. When I saw them, I thought they looked cool, and grabbed them.

The Leatherhead is gonna be used as either a Venomized Croc-Master v2 or a Mega Monster based on a Croc-Master v2.

I really like these too. With those mods, I can easily see these repurposed for pretty much anything.
