I recently did a trade with fellow Figurvore member Silent G/Will, who was kind enough to provide me with a pair of double-ganged Hot Toy fem arms to sub in for the Playtoy XL's single-jointed ones.

As the shoulder balls on the HT arms were smaller than the Playtoy sockets, he also nicely suggested that I should coat the HT balls in petroleum jelly, squirt hot glue in the Playtoy sockets, then stick the HT balls in the sockets, squiggling them around till the glue dried. The petroleum jelly would then prohibit the balls from sticking to the glue, and the glue layer would fill the extra space in the sockets, making a snug fit for the balls! I've been using hot glue as a filler/tightener for years, but I never thought to add petroleum jelly to prevent the insertions from adhering to the holes in which they are inserted.

Anyway, the Glamazon now has double-ganged arms!

I just pried one of Will's arms out of his dress so I could check the look of an Obitsu Regular Male arm with the Playtoy XL torso. Yup, that's exactly the robust muscularity I'm going for! The jointing on these arms provides a full range of motion at the elbow, which can truly fold the arms double so that wrist touches shoulder, so that's also good. As an added bonus, these arms easily fit Takara CG hands [my favorites] with just a little taping of the wrist pegs. Now Will has his arm back, and I have another item to purchase for my Glamazon: Obitsu Regular Male body to supply arms.

Notice how even the excessively orange tones in the Obitsu arm still look more realistic than the "I have no blood" Playtoy?
