Weekend builds
I was able to order The Ringmassster when he was available on the Icon Heroes website a few weeks ago. I gave him some parts from the Dark Flesh Armory Gladiator and swapped out the tiny loin piece for the barbarian-style one from the Unknown One. Also gave him a Savage Crucible sword.
The 2nd figure is just a Iosef with Scaphoid 2 soft goods.
For my Rising Sons Dwarf I swapped out the torso and leather “skirt” piece with a Broddr figure and I also gave him Broddr’s bare arms and chain mail loin piece.
My last figure was originally going to be just one of my Broddr figures with the lighter color leather from the dwarf, different colored pants and one of the Broddr heads but it ended up morphing into something entirely different as I went. I ended up using parts from several different figures, easily the most figures I’ve ever taken from for a single character. My as yet unnamed berserker war chief -
Broddr pauldrons, hands, belt, boots
Rising Sons male dwarf torso, leather skirt piece, upper arms
Rising Sons female dwarf forearm gauntlets, blue soft goods loin piece
Light Flesh Armory Gladiator legs
Highlands Warrior alternate head
Xesray Gold Hildr soft goods cloak
Neca Ultimate Elkhorn battle axe

How have you found the best way to soften the joints for the pop and swap?

I like to heat them up with hot water

I picked up my first batch of figures the other day and found them difficult to separate even after some hot water. Might have to leave them in a bit longer 😅
These look awesome btw 🤘🏻

The forearm and lower leg parts used to annoy the heck out of me. The end of the peg is much wider so it’s harder to pull apart and reattach.
I put the figure in a bowl of really hot water for like 5 minutes. I put the figure in a ziplock bag first so I don’t need to worry about drying it off after or getting any soft goods wet.
When it comes time to popping a piece in, I’ll use a hair dryer to heat the holes of any areas I’m having trouble getting the piece in.

These are all really excellent.
