He is being released again later this year with a different deco for the Dr. Strange wave as the BAF. That should bring his cost down quite a bit.

Kokomo Toys Amazon came in today and I took some comparison shots of the base figure compared to a recent Marvel Universe figure. I know a lot of people are looking to use the blanks for various female super heroes.

I thought there was a white blank female one. I was going to use it for a white tiger but I can't find it anymore, maybe it sold out or I am mistaken. Does that Amazon have a waist swivel?

theArchivist · 03-30-2016, 04:32 PM

The white blank will be a future release. The pictures were posted early by accident. Ill check the waist. There is a mid-torso barbell type joint.

LordMudd · 03-30-2016, 05:01 PM

Seems a bit tall. Are the tattoos paint or molded? Are we stuck with those sandal feet?

CCC.

Tattoos are paint. All the females use the same base figures. The Blanks come with bare feet, sandals, and shoe-like superhero feet.

maybe add an earlier MU female & She-Hulk sized buck to another side-by-side pic?

Maybe even some headswaps if possible!!

theArchivist · 03-31-2016, 05:50 PM

The problem with head swaps for these figures is that there is a lip at the top of the neck to accommodate the double barbell joint so a good head swap would need some work to get it to fit just right. You can see the issue in this picture.

theArchivist · 03-31-2016, 05:53 PM

Here are some pics with heads just sitting on the neck.

I updated the post above with who all the figures are. I think you are talking about Amy Pond and Clara Oswald from the Dr. Who line.

WhoNA has some available for sale outside of the UK.
WhoNA Dr. Who 3 3/4" Action figures

theArchivist · 04-01-2016, 07:21 AM

Here are some more head swaps
Zelda

Helix

Valkyrie

Bulma

Zanya

Baroness

ReAction heads will probably work pretty good

Tauriel

Some MU figures

Some better images of a future Joan of Arc

LordMudd · 04-01-2016, 08:15 AM

Reaction heads have the post that projects down into the body. If you want to use one of those, you have to cut it off and drill it out. Once you start you are committed.

CCC.

Correct. I just meant scale wise. Most of them are a bit large for their bodies so going on a HACK will fit okay. Some figures with smaller heads like DCIH/SW even some GI Joe and MU have heads that are too small and makes them look pin-headed. The way the neck is setup on the HACKS will require most heads to be modified to some degree to fit.

Picked up a Secret Wars Tower of Doom Playset. Missing the attachment for the second chair and the glide lift but for £17 (GBP) I'm not complaining.

Really like the look of the Thor head on that body. I'll definitely be adding that to my to-do list!
