Magnetic Feet

Here is a somewhat easy custom to do, puting magnets in a Microman or Micronaut figure. I purchased a collection of "Rare Earth" (Neodymium) magnets from Ebay. I searched around for something small that would work.

I measured the magnets against the feet first then I took an xacto knife and cut a small hole in the foot for the magnets. I then placed a drop of superglue on each foot and inserted the magnets. I let the glue dry for a day, then my Microman was ready to use.

This is my one of my Micro Doc customs with the magnets drying in his feet.

Walking up the fridge, if I had to do this custom over again... and I still may, I would put an additional magnet on each foot. These magnets are strong, but because he wasn't flat against the fridge (standing up they stick out) he still slid a little on the fridge. An additional magnet on each foot would have helped stabilize the figure on the fridge.
