Boots and gloves are fine, but the chest piece needs to be pushed about a little to get it on a body and that's where the chrome fun begins. Good to know! Do you heat it up with a hair dryer? Or will the application of heat do more harm than good? You shouldn't need to heat anything up to get the suit without inner head onto the body. My chrome bee suit has survived well over the 8 years Ive had it as a result. Can I add; so stoked to see a few folk talking SB suits - these were one of the hobby gateways for me years ago.

 Re: Upcoming Secret Base Releases
Thanks again, Carl! Yeah, now that I'm thinking of it there's no need for any real wrangling to get the chest-piece on. Also, I think I just sourced two new KW II bodies!  Still would love to find a purple one though...

Still would love to find a purple one though... Purple means either a vintage body or the dukuro king repro. Go for the vintage - they stand better than the repros - joints are tighter on all mine even though they are 40 years old - and they price similarly.

 Re: Upcoming Secret Base Releases
The KWII bodies are a lot more broad chested and have magnetic limbs so they may not fit this suit. There are several exact or near exact bodies to fit the vintage and vintage style fit suits if you can't afford or don't want to spend the Henshin body money. Henshin Cyborg bodies are exactly GI bodies and were licensed from Hasbro originally. Here are some relatively cheap alternatives that fit:
These all use the vintage style Joe Body or an extremely close matching body type: Vintage/Repro GI Joe bodies Medicom RAH original style bodies Magic Q bodies (bonus they come with an Ultraman looking head) Sgt. Rock 12" Figures (do not put repro Henshin Costumes on these though the vinyl match is not good) Vintage/Repro Action Man
Avoid: Neo Henshin Cyborg Cyborg 99 KWII Modern muscled up Joe bodies

 Re: Upcoming Secret Base Releases
Somehow I never collected Wings, but these and the last orange marbled are very tempting!

 Re: Upcoming Secret Base Releases
Purple is a hell of a color. Nice to see all 4 together.

 Re: Upcoming Secret Base Releases
The purple is the best looking out of the 3 marbles I reckon.

Actually i think you are lucky someone outbid you, maybe save you some money  I think they maybe available in different occasion down the road, so maybe good to just wait. The purple marble actually wasn't part of the blind bag.

 Re: Upcoming Secret Base Releases
Managed to score the Purple, got my invoice this morning. Cant believe I scored all 4 in under a month - been so lucky as 2 of them came from friends who bought them and didn't like the colours when they arrived!
