    Playing with my new Titanium WWI Prime, I realized his knees didnt bend worth a damn.
    So I took him apart and looked at the pieces to see what could be done.
    Well the end result was so easy and such a success, I documented the mod, so anyone else who wants to do it can easly copy what I did.

    The mod is easy, quick, and only requires 2 tools, a small phillips head screwdriver, and a hobby knife.

    Time to complete the mod: Around 5 minutes.

    Step 1: Remove leg to be modded

    Step 2: Remove screws and disassemble upper leg

    Step 3: Simply remove the illustrated amount of plastic
    The left half is unmodded, the right half shows the excess plastic already removed.
