How you planning on doing the arm swap DP? Do we have to cut open the Bane chest/back rubber to get to screws underneath? Or is there another way without damaging it?

I could only find one advance arm but it'll still work to show how it's done.

Open the torso from the side. Easily peels off but still handle with care. You don't wanna rip the body.

Pull the torso muscle off. Comes off like a shell.

Unscrew the back of the body. You'll need a phillips screwdriver. There's three screws that need to be removed.

Should look like this with the back piece removed. Remove the arms.

Here's where the real modding begins. As you can see, the advanced arms have a bigger round peg. That peg needs to be either sanded or cut to the size of the muscle arms to fit back into the muscle body's inner socket.

Once you get them in place, just close it back up. They're a little tricky and might fall out. It's simple to get it shut again though.

Put the torso muscle back on and glue it shut. Don't add too much glue. Just in case you wanna undo the whole mod.

Here's the finished body with the arms.

Hope this helps.

Knowing SS, yours will ship before some poor sap in Idaho who preordered last summer gets his.

I feel like this is directed towards me.

Bane is amazing. I'm floored by how great he turned out.

Was surprised to see weathering on his jacket and vest, since almost everyone was saying he looks too clean.

I agree. I pre-ordered it then cancelled it. Then saw OMG's and AGEN's photos. Changed my mind again and re-pre-ordered him! Too good to pass. I am getting him on Monday! So excited

Got my Bane yesterday. Definitely better in hand than in any pics, and he looks great in several pics. Went with the almost final battle look (brown sweater, vest, and jacket) and he looks very intimidating. Just wish I came with him. I was on obvious, cheap accessory HT should have included.
