Do you mean universal, as with other bodies from different companies? No, they are not.
No, I meant with all HT bodies.
I believe they are.
Teflon tape ( used for plumbing ) works great for thickening peg posts, no sticky residue to deal with. I used some on my hot toys Aliens ball joints and it got rid of the loose joint syndrome.
I just bought a Hot Toys narrowed shoulder body for my Snake Eyes, I currently have him on a Hot Toys special edition caucasian re-launch body , the chest muscles are better on this version IMO. I may try to put the narrow shoulders on it if it can be done, I'm sure it will look pretty good for Snake's body.
Now I just have to wait about 2 weeks for the body to arrive.

True Types come apart relatively easily (just need a screw driver)and you should have no trouble putting narrow arms on the relaunch torso.
What about cutting Snake eye's wrist pegs, will that do the trick vs using HT's pegs ?

Trimming them down to about the third or fourth notch (from the hand) works. The only problem is you sometimes wind up with monkey arms because the Pro. wrist joint adds a little more length to the arm.
Okay, I don't know how it would do that ? Since both pegs look the same size. But anyway, I tried inserting the HT wrist peg into Snake eyes's hand and it won't go in.
More help please!

It might actually look as bad. I just know that my Indy arms look too long after I made the swap. But with Snakes gloved hands it might be so bad as the peg goes deep in the glove. I didn't think of that before.

Oaky, I just cut the pegs. It does make him look monkey armish but I wouldn't know if it looks better the other way since I don't have the HT wrist pegs. I also took the pegs out of Snake's boots and then inserted the boots onto Snakes new HT body. It's coming along.

Here is pic of the HT with the wrist peg, as you can see the difference is minimal if at all.

Unfortunately, that's the wrong end of the peg.

Actually I think that's just an older peg like Rocky or one of the Marines would have. The end that goes in the arm is ribbed. The newer wrist pegs have a tiny stud on the them.

Depends on the figure. Some have the solid nipple like the TrueTypes and some (mostly licensed?) have the halved one.

Insufferable S.O.B.
Yea, that pic is of the earlier wirst peg.
Here he is on the HT narrow shoulder. I think he looks and feels a lot better. I'm getting the Saturday toys body some time this week. I'll try switching him off on that one too. But I think this looks good enough.
BTW, I like this customizing thing. It's pretty cool.

I've tried both Chaver, and the Saturday Toys Body really will look better, wait and see.
