That "bat jet" looks like an interesting choice.

Yep, I'd snatch them up too. There are so many necessary characters that didn't make the cut. It's a shame the line ended so abruptly and without warning.

Regarding Ra's and Talia, here are my kit-bashed stand-ins. Of course Ra's isn't 100% finished, not sure on the head.

Nice

LOVE em! Might I suggest a MU Dr.Strange head for Ras though?

redfox · 04-01-2016, 06:18 PM

^^Thanks guys!! Don't know why I never thought of the Doctor Strange head. It'd be perfect!

I like it, whats the recipe?

redfox · 04-01-2016, 08:47 PM

Super easy. No paint.

Ra's al Ghul:

Head- Marvel Universe Mr. Fantastic (Soon to be replaced with Marvel Universe Doctor Strange)
Body: Captain America: The First Avenger Red Skull (Comic Variant)
Cape: Marvel Universe Doctor Doom (Secret Wars Comic Pack)

Talia al Ghul:

Head- Avengers 2: Age of Ultron Scarlet Witch
Body- Indiana Jones: Elsa Schneider

Specter · 04-02-2016, 04:36 AM

Anyone have any ideas for an BvS armored Batman?

I think I have extras of all of the Ra's lying around.M8ght try playing with Mandarin body. Have you tried the head from the young Justice Ra's?

The recently release ML 3 3 3/4 inch Iron Man Mark 1? A got some sculpt work that you would need to do, but it's the best that I can come up with.

snake5289 · 04-02-2016, 01:04 PM

Yeah I could see that working. It would take some work put into it but it's not a bad start.

That's actually a pretty good base idea. It would take a really good customizer to make it into a decent armored Batman though.

Is that head a ball joint?

Universe · 04-02-2016, 03:02 PM

I can't confirm it, I do not own this figure but if he's like all 100% of the figures in the line, yes he has a ball joint neck.

slim19722 · 04-02-2016, 04:15 PM

Posted in the Marvel thread about how Marauder's figures are good bases for MU customs, they're good for DC customs too. Have a couple Deathstroke WIP's using MJ's fig's with a modified Multiverse DS.

The ornate armor of the Mandarin body would make a great Arkham City-esque version of Ra's. I haven't tried the Young Justice head, but I've flirted with the idea. All the online pics look kinda cartoony.

GenRule · 04-03-2016, 03:28 PM

I have a idea, sure I'm not the first person to think of it, but I was wondering does anybody think if I take a Legendary Comic Book Hero Pitt action figure(build-a-figure) apart piece bye piece, 3D scan each individual part, scaling each part down to the size of Marvel Uni or DC Injustice 3.75' or 4' size, paint, maybe some sculpting here or there, then put it back together. Does anyone think that could actually work?

The theory is sound, especially if you use a 3D printer.

CCC.

MUfan97 · 04-05-2016, 03:17 PM

The Batman-Clayface Multiverse 2-pack is going for $12.01 on Amazon right now. I'd say that's worth it, even if you only really want ONE of the figures.

snake5289 · 04-05-2016, 03:22 PM

Yup. That's about how much I paid for all three of the big packs around Christmas last year.

GenRule · 04-05-2016, 08:05 PM

I think it should work too. I'll try and keep everybody updated.

Snapped the neck off my Supergirl figure. I tried opening it up to see where the articulation actually happened, and the peg popped out, hit me on the forehead rather violently and went... somewhere. Not confident and I can find it in my place, esp. since it blends in with the wooden floor. Looking into getting another Supergirl IH figure but none going for a good price

Yikes. I lost a Parker head from Vort a couple of years ago and still haven't found it, so I can relate. Is your forehead alright at least?
