If you know anything at all about my customs you'll have figured out that I really like Captain America. So when I heard we were getting figures in the MU style I was all a flutter. Sadly they came with the hips I hate and I was less fluttery. So I decided to do a little fixing and this is what I came up with.

I changed the gloves out for a pair with swivel wrists and replaced the hips with a graft from a random new sculpt figure,repainted and viola

What do you think?

that's about as seemless of a hip graft as I have ever seen. Well done my man. Now, what about the really interesting guy he's standing on?

You'd think they would be consistent through out the company on this scale.
It's got to be cheaper to manufacture a MU/Joe style hip, instead of the multi hinge hip.
