DC 3.75/4" Appreciation Thread

Yeah the old PS2 doesn't see a lot of action these days so it's been a while since I wiped it down. It was clean when I set up my little GL Corps.

As for adding elbows to Batman it's a pretty simple job. Take the lower arms from a G.I. Joe (I used the later released Retaliation Snake Eyes) and using a xacto knife cut the lower arms off the DKR Batman. Then take a small drill bit and drill a hole in his upper arms.

**This part is optional** After that take the xacto knife and cut a little bit out of the arm around the hole so it looks a little more natural. I glued mine in so not to risk it coming out again but that's not totally nessacary.

Finally using the xacto knife cut the arm blades off the severed Batman lower arms and using a tad bit of glue glue them to the new ones. Paint as needed and there you go. Batman has elbows.

These Supes figures look great!

I was always eager to display my Inifiite crisis figures VS Marvel Universe figures but they always compared too small (Blastaar bigger than Doomsay? No way!!) so I was wondering if the new 3/75 toy line from Superman and the limited ones from Injustice were more in-par with MU figs?
As far as I can see, the GL-movie figs are a little bit taller and match MU figs better (they're displayd battling a MU Sentinel right now).

Please let me know your comments and infos about this, I'm very interested in those Injustice 2-packs.

Hey guys!
I managed to pick up some of the new MAN OF STEEL figures here in the UK today!
They were £7 each (not too bad...the Avengers figures are STILL about £9)

I was pretty damn happy to find them but like most customisers - I already had plans for some changes :P

Firstly I swapped "AUTO ATTACK" Supermans head with an Obi Wan head to make a fairly serviceable JOR-EL (the figures body seems to be based on Jor-Els suit from the movie).

Lastly I wanted ZOD to have his helmet - its badass

I had one in my fodder that after a little modding looked close enough for me

snake5289 · 05-07-2013, 01:41 PM

Nice. I've been working on a helmet for Zod myself. I never would have thought of that Jor-El swap though. Good call.

It was one from a Battle Pack with a Jango Fett and a Geonosian Battle Droid.

Had to cut it off and dremel it to fit a ball joint but all in all it was pretty simple

redx24 · 05-08-2013, 05:11 PM

ok kiddies was going thru some new 52 pics and suddenly i want to make a movie style superboy. what head and body do u suggest i want a fac that looks similar but different than the cavill heads and would like it to have the alien/dodgeball look to it.

redx24 · 05-08-2013, 06:29 PM

Oh, so it might be a tough one to nab for a decent price then, neh? He looks remarkably like Russell though so it'd be perfect.

If you cant find that particular one theres a few SW Ep2 Obi Wans that should still do the job,theres a few with ball jointed heads out there that might work even better

Ninjinister · 05-09-2013, 04:30 PM

I'm being told these are 3.75 figures. Looks like they are to me, too.

TheLongestDay · 05-09-2013, 04:37 PM

WOAH!!! If they are then they must be MINE!!!!

rustyrob · 05-10-2013, 01:06 AM
