wanted to share with you guys these custom Iron Man Mark 50 leg pieces i got off of TaoBao.
these outer and inner thigh part replacement basically covers up that big nasty thigh gap everyone hates. installation was easy, you basically just pop the legs off and take out pop out those pieces, no tools required.
i got the inner and outer piece from 2 different sellers.
i bought the outer piece first from a vendor only to find a 2nd vendor selling both inner and outer pieces so i made 2 different transactions
paint job for the inner thigh piece is much better, almost like the original color and shine. i want to note that the original inner piece is diecast, while the custom piece is plastic so you will be losing some weight on the figure
outer thigh piece paint job isnt that great, you can see micro scratches everywhere but its not too bad
i was on the verge of selling the figure because i hated the thigh gap so much but i think these pieces make the figure look so much better if you dont mind spending some money.
in terms of cost, both pieces together was about $70 + $15 shipping to the US. i know its a bit pricey, but these pieces really do streamline the figure by getting cover up most of the thigh gap. it makes it look a lot more like the prototype of the figure which didnt have the gap issue. in terms of articulation, theres a little restriction but nothing too crazy. if you guys mostly post in museum pose then its really a non-issue.
