Oh boy, I'm really proud of this! Strap in!

So there's 2 basic Voltron toys. One has some sword swinging action and a shield. The shield is removable and the arm bends. The legs and torso do not. Then there's another toy has a shooting arm cannon that doesn't bend and the arm has no sword. On this toy, the legs and torso can move. It also has removable wings. What I did was pop off the red arm and switch it to the body with the articulation and thought I'd do the same with the green. However, the green arm was not a simple pop out and in. There was a hard plastic with a ratchet in it to keep it firm when shooting tho cannon. I used a dribble tool and dug and drilled out that extra plastic to put in the shield holding green arm.

I really wasn't sure how the project would turn out or I would have taken more pictures of the process but this was my first time to successfully make a slightly custom toy!

The two different toys.



Popped out one green arm just fine...



But the other green arm was not as easy.



So I drilled out all that extra plastic.



Red arms popped out the same.



You can see the slight differences in the green and red arm but I'm not at all upset about it. There's a few scratches and scuffs on the base of the shoulder but it's mostly covered by the arm.



It looks almost exactly the same... but I know the differences and happy with it!
