Yes the joints on the medi bodies are brittle and break. Swap him to a TT.
Or a new RAH body which won't be fragile like the old ones.

Got the Medicom Boba last night. I'm really happy with him. Had I gotten this one first I would have never bothered with the SSC one. I don't mind having both, but if I could only have one the Medicom version is the way to go- out of the box.

Get yourself the Tomy Jango helm. Fits like a glove.

Hummm, if it fits the medi head perfectly, then I would think it's to small for a SS head.
What does work is a Marmit helmet.

Alright, Magnus. Since there still seems to be some interest in how I put my kitbashed Fett together, I'll have to shoot some new photos of it and breakdown all the different parts. Give me a day or two since I've got a lot of stuff going on.
Could someone possibly post a guide on how to port Fett to a TTM Slim body? Would really help me out.
Problem area are the wrist of course, and finding a body 'slim' enough to fit his belt.

The knockoff tt body the belt fits with some work, the feet & hands I took a drill to the body, the head I used the ssc Cody
I used a Hot Toys slim TT from a Captain America Red Skull figure to replace the crumbling body on my old Medicom ESB figure and it worked out just fine. Since I didn't want to bust out any power tools to get the Medicom hands to fit, I just chose to replace them with the Sideshow ones and trim the extra ends from the pegs, making them fit like a charm, like so:
I also solved the incompatible neck joints by using a bbi G3 neck, which has a pointy peg that fits nicely into the Medicom head. It ends up looking like so before attaching it into the body:
Getting the rest of the Medicom parts on ends up being pretty easy to do. It helps warming up the boots in some hot water to get the Hot Toys feet to fit into them, as well as the codpiece over the TT's hips (just pull the jumpsuit and codpiece up at the same time). The vest, gauntlets, and knee pads fit surprisingly well on the slim TT. However, I ended up using several more pieces from the Sideshow Fett, which resulted in a hybrid kitbash that I'm pretty pleased with:
And, yes, I'm still planning on doing a soup-to-nuts photo tutorial breaking the whole thing down for those who are interested in doing something similar. So, Fett-fans, stay tuned!
