Is there a source for 25th/POC/Retaliation leg screws, aside from cannibalization?
Ditto T-bars?

Thanks

Leg screw question


"What are: titles that only don't sound weird when mentioned on a G.I. Joe Customizing forum?"

kidding aside, I know t-bars have been available in the past from casters like Slayer, so probably also Angel Forge, and I presume Rodimus as well. However they are plastic not metal.

The screws I have to think could be matched and ordered in bulk via a hardware store, but I've never tried it.

Have you tried Gijoeheaven.com? I bought some there along with o-rings for ARAH figures.

No I haven't checked them out yet. Do the ARAH screws work in 25th/RoC/PoC figs?

I have used them on both new and old figures and they seem to hold fine.

Anyone know if t-hook bars work with newer figures if the hook is removed?

yes and no.

the ball on the old t-bar isn't sized the same, at least not uniformly so. But you can mod any socket to fit. And since you'll already be modding to get that t-bar into the recipient figure, what's a little more work on top of that ;)

but even in terms of width, I suspect it's hit and miss.

ME figures have a ball at the end instead of a hook. You could glue it in but I'd be worried about it coming loose. Then you would have loose legs

Little apoxie and a little glue and it will hold great. I've used donor parts for this before and it's been ok. Bigger issue is whether you have to snip off the hook or dremel out part of the torso to get it to fit. That, and making sure the legs will fit the new bar.

It's not worth the trouble in most cases
