Well I picked up a couple 2 packs on a BOGO weekend and decided to do just some body work for once. It was cool that Mattel finally did a cloth cape BUT it was so dinky. But the worst was this paint job... Gold? In the Sewers? Is it Pee? Either way I decided to paint over the gold dry brush with just regular black just to bring it back down to a standard coloration.
Next I proceeded with my regular upgrades. I added articulation to the head, elbows, and knees. I also trimmed the backs of the shoulder pads to increase the upper arm movement. Not adding the cape made this a pretty quick job BUT wouldn't you know it I drilled through his knee joint on accident so I had to replace both legs below the knee with a pair of Bàtman Begins shins. They are a little slimmer and they look pretty good. They almost make him appear taller.
