Medicom Joints

[lerath666]

They irratate the crap out of me. Specificly the shoulder joints. I've had mnore bad luck with medicom shoulder joints than with ANY other part of any medicom figure. I've replaced more shoulders than i can think of. I examine them when I get them, and if there is ANY sort of crack in the shhoulder, I know it will break on me eventualy.It irrates me to no end.
Then along came the newest medicom figure, Solid snake, with his Metal joints. And suddenly i Had my answer. In a few hours i'm gonna be contacting a machine shop About replicating Medicom shoulder joints out of aluminum. So, my next question is this, If it's not too expensive, would anyone elase like to go in with me on this? ( I'm going to get a minimum of 3 sets made so far, One for vader, one for my stormtrooper and one for my Spider-man. ) So i figured I'd toss this out there and see what people thought.

not so sure about shoulder joints per say but............those wrist joints are lacking to say the least........has anyone actually looked at how much plastic is there?

Man, I thought from the title that Medicom was starting to sell pot. Probably a good thing they aren't since the joints would be so small

I would be interested. Only thing is how would I get you the money from all the way in Colombia?
Anyway, keep us updated, it's not a bad idea to replace those pesky shoulder joints!

Never had a problem with the shoulders just one leg.


Somebody say buck?

SS's Buck body is like the Rob Liefeld of 1/6 bodies.

The buck may not be the best posing body but I'm never worried I'll break it like I am with my Medicom ones.

shelfdiving FTW, WHEEEEEE!!!

So, update, got an initial quote of a 500$ buy in for them to get the initial tools. Waiting for them to get back to me the total cost.
