Sideshow Magneto upgraded by AFM with a story to tell.

Nice custom AFM, how can you replace the body, can you show me the details, for eg, how can take out purple armor from the chest, it looks stick to the suit. Thanks for you help.

The armor came off pretty easily. There is a seam that run along the waist. Split that and the suit will come off pretty easily. I put the legs in the suit first and stretched the top over the upper torso. Sew the waist seam and that's it. You can put powder or cornstarch on the boy to get the suit on easier. I put the armor back on with a few drops of hot glue on each corner in the from. Hope that helps.

Top notch figure and costume!

Thanks brother.

Wow this looks great, recently picked him up and want to do the same but nervous. How do you remove the cape collar piece? Is it screwed in? Don’t want to damage the fabric removing it

The cape and collar are glue lightly. Mine came apart easily.

Thanks for the quick reply, was it screwed in? How did you go about removing it?

Ne screws on mine at all. Cut the seam around the waist. Then take off pants and shirt. It's not hard at all. Let me know if you need any more help my friend.

Thank you for the help, in the pic of the old body you posted it looks like there’s a small hole in the chest that’s why I thought there was screws holding the neck/collar piece on. Going to try upgrading the body this weekend really appreciate your help.

Just double checked and there is not screw. I did have to hot glue the collar down once I did the body swap to get it to sit right/down flat.
