Do the Jack/Ted Knight Starman hands fit that Black Mask suit body's wrists, or do they have to be modified? I thought I read on the forums, here, that the pegs on the wrists were different and not universal.

I'm pretty sure Ra's hands would fit on Black Mask's body.

[wally2974]

LOL....good point. You would figure that I'd have thought about using Ra's hands. That would mean I'd have to track down ANOTHER Ra's figure from Ebay!! Ughhh! lol

Does Ra's use the same hands as the old DC SuperHeroes Clark Kent that came in the 2 pack!?

[AcidDragon]

Haha good question. I have that Clark figure. Forgot they did a bare hands on suit body figure besides Harvey but one of his hands... Good call.

Has anyone done a "crack" on a suited body, without doing alot of repairs to the body? I'd like to swap the upper torso or Ra's al Ghul with Black Mask's. I like the red tie and cleaner-looking shirt on the black suit body. I'm going to try a Bruce Wayne custom.

I've done it on a few Clark Kents with no problems... On the other hand I've also done a few of the Movie Masters Jokers, thugs, Harvey Dents and for the most part have had good results. Once when I was prying a thug apart it kinda cracked on me in the back area. I was able to fix it as good as new with Aves epoxy though.

Any hints or tricks to getting the rubber "vest" off a suited buck without damaging it? I'm guessing you put both arms up and slip it off like you would a t-shirt. Is it usually glued onto the figure?

Warm it up a little and be careful.. it should not be a problem

The easiest way to get the jacket off is to put the arms behind the figure and bend them so that they meet in the middle. You should be able to just slide the jacket off over the arms that way, provided it isn't glued in.
