    I need to have a corrected version because it looks so much better.

    Can I send my Hsss torso to you so you can do it for me?
    You can if you like but keep in mind shipping costs and although I will be extremely careful, I take no responsibility if something does go wrong during the process.

    ok, let me know how you wish to arrange this but just in case, check if all your King Hsss figures have the reversed shoulders. There has been word of some people having the fortune of having their figures 'improperly' assembled with corrected shoulders.

    Is this true or is this just people being not that bright?

    Statistically, it's probably right - the workers get them backwards so often on other MOTUCs that it must only have been a matter of time before it actually worked in someone's favour.

    Well done Kup! It looks great! It may seem 'easy' but it takes real talent to do this and not completely screw up the figure!

    I'm personally just hoping they'll re-release Hsss in a year or so with corrected shoulders - then I'll just display the one I already have with the snake torso.

    Thanks Robzy!

    According to Toyguru, if there is a reissue the error will not be corrected as it would require a whole 'development slot' to do so. The only way that he would be released 'corrected' is if they retool the mold as a new release such as a 200X interpretation.

    Thinking about it, it wouldn't take much effort to make a 200X Hiss from this mold. All that he needs is a new head, long loin cloth piece (like Carnivus) and that's about it.

    Microwave? That sounds dangerous as the Microwave doesn't heat evenly and can overexcite some particles unevenly causing deformities, specially under the surface. Can I see pics? Mine was a massive improvement after the fix.

    the toy looks fine, I think by the torso may have expanded slightly or I was a bit too rough slicing the arm pegs

    I placed the torso in a bowl of water and it seemed to work fine to make it pliable.

    here's a pic
