I bought this figure tomorrow, and started working on him as soon as I get home. Repainted face, added a fully cloth cape, repainted the logo, and my major improvement : for the first time ever I added a ball-joint articulation somewhere there was no articulation at all! So I made ball-jointed knees, because that was the only huge articulation that was missing! And I think it works pretty well! And I made swivel wrist too, thanks to some tutorials on this site. Hope you guys enjoy!  Please wait... |

Thanks!!
For the articulation, I cut the figure exactly at the knees. Then I just hollow holes, and put the elbow articulations of a Star Wars Clone Wars General Grievous. Once you do that you just need to sculpt over the articulation to match the shin (it's just about millimeters), paint it and that's all.
Actually some better Sup' can be done here using this technique : something I couldn't do because I don't have the appropriate tools, is to hollow a big hole under the thighs just before making holes to put the articulation peg. So the articulation can be more hidden.
Oh and by the way, thanks to the articulation, the figure is completely in scale with MU line! (Mattel's DC 3.75" figures are always smaller than Marvel figures, I don't know why, even if they pretend together to be 3.75" figure).
Thanks for the feedback!!
