@@austincrafton178 I accidentally preordered the manipple reporter Clark Kent from 2 different place. He is too small for the manipple Superman. Not sure why they made it a different size. I used one to update my custom Clark Kent and posted a video. The other one I used to go along with my Mafex Superman. I did some comparison shots in my instagram.

@@DizzyFig2909 thanks,… this one was pretty easy since I already had the Mezco gambit body.

It released last month. I got it from toyzmetaverse.com

@@austincrafton178 yeah, I’ve actually tried to get my hand on Batman, but no luck so far.

Ok . I hope someone gets one I was impressed and interested it seems like to me the overseas 1/12 companies are really starting to stepping there game up big time mezco, Hasbro & others better watch out. but as a consumer of 1/12 figure collectors we all win and I love it. It's been a long time coming.

@ yeah man I’ve ended up collecting more from third party companies lately because of this.

Sorry for the late response. Me too and I feel like healthy competition is good at the end of the consumer/ collector wins.

@@austincrafton178 man it definitely is.

@@austincrafton178appreciate it man

No problem.

@@keithbonilla5141 hey thanks I really appreciate that.

Hey thanks… I’m surprised too. Some of these just seem like a no brainer

@@mightyninja0 thanks

@@jokesover3433 thanks

@@austincrafton178 yeah that surprised me too. Seems like that would have been a given especially when the flash first came out

Exactly but I had heard and take this with a grain of salt that muff toys maybe doing a Michael keaton figure but time will tell.

@ man I hope they do. I love Uff and Manipple toys figures, it just take so long for them to release them.

Me too. i love both companies figures. I know right. Also it's amazing to me that that outta all the DC figures that McFarlane has made there's no ICON figure or no civilian Al Simmons figure and why haven't Hasbro made 2.0 Blue Marvel helmeted version figure 🤔

@ maaaaaaaan exactly. Icon has been on my ready recently o one I want to try. I really want to do Hardware, but I have to figure out how and if I can.

@@austincrafton178 thank you! Manipple is making a “reporter” Clark Kent with full business suit (MOS shirt underneath), glasses and tan trench coat. I think the head will be sold separately though. I preordered from 5ktoys maybe close to 2 years ago now I think. 5ktoys.com, vctoybox.com and onsixthkit.com might still have preorders open for it. I used the nowhere toys body Clark. Since the video I’ve reduced the height a little by drilling the holes a little deeper in the shoes.

@@efc_rackuun thank you

@@c-lo_g446 Preciate it

@@Bar-Del lol, appreciate it

@@williammoreira2827 1/12 scale… the one with the trench coat is customized using the Mezco Blade body.

@@Cornholio174 hey thanks… I use Vallejo acrylic paint. I did a brown wash the went back over with orange

@@krymson_reigns do you think flat brown would work for the beard on the masked head?

@@Cornholio174 man I misread your original comment that you were asking about the beard. Yeah for the beard I lightly brushed an umber brown until it looked like the unmasked head. The for the chin and mustache I made a blue wash just enough to give it a 5 o’clock shadow.

@@krymson_reigns Thank you, the whole thing came out great. Since the printing on my masked head is a bit too far to one side I may have to paint the beard in. Might wait for the figure to become more available first

@@Cornholio174 no problem… yeah mine was a little off, but I just kind of filled it in… not sure how off yours might be though.

@@LesWalker2023 hey thanks… I had a lot of fun doing this. I thought I was done, but ended up doing back and doing a more movie accurate version along with a Blade 2 version.

@@gianluxmm I’m not sure, but I purchased this unpainted head sculpt from eBay.

@@homemadestudios99x this is a custom I made.

@@efc_rackuun yeah I agree on both points. I even hit the face with a matte spray which dulled it, but still a bit glossy.

@@WolfKing1987 thanks so much

@@AdamBlue man thanks I really appreciate that. I kind of dealt with that on one of my first customs, but after a month I had to cut that short. I got the vest (and Blade 2 head) for these from 3dm_customs on Instagram. It took maybe two weeks to get them. The soft goods from GPSlots on eBay. The heads for the original Blade and Deadpool & Wolverine Blade were from eBay as well.

@@HobbyKun thank you

@@efc_rackuun thanks, yeah after making the one I had to make the other versions. As popular as Blade is I realized this was the only way I would have them in my collection… and I was finally comfortable enough with customizing to do it right.

@@jatiekcoleman thanks

@@emmanuelsilvera8032 thanks, it’s a song my son made for my TH-cam channel.

@@minivancoupe hey thanks

@@iamjaysaul1169 hey man I really appreciate that.

@@loveordie4 man thanks… yeah I’m trying to hold it down. as popular as Blade is I don’t understand there aren’t more either.

@@specialk3357 hey thanks for commenting and the sub. The suit (and head sculpt) is still available on VCTOYS and 5ktoys. I’ve posted a newer video where I’ve added the s-curl and muscle detail to the suit.

@@krymson_reigns Thanks for that! Would you say the suit/head are better than the upcoming Welike….There’s a preview available and man, I think you would agree on the darker suit being pretty nice. I guess my question as a fellow Supes fan, would you do a Welike body w/your Manipple head or stay with what you got if you don’t mind? I value your opinion. (Video is by Squidobox if you haven’t seen the Welike at the 7 minute mark)

@@krymson_reignsyour update is beautifully done btw. I like finding/meeting other customizers….I haven’t gotten into customizing $80-100 figs yet like you but, your stuff is inspiring man…. Already w/the custom new Snipes Blade and Tatum Gambit too? Great stuff.

@@specialk3357 had to go watch the video… and sub, lol. Anyways, both are good (and better than Mezco’s version), but I prefer the manipple version because it has better body proportions. I do like the darker colors on the welike body though, and that it comes with a wired cape. I bought one from a guy on Instagram who made custom capes. I thought about getting this Batman, but I saw manipple is supposed to be making one so I’m hold out. I have a Mezco Batman that I’ve slightly repainted and gave the muff toys head as my current placeholder.

@@specialk3357 thanks, yeah it took me a while to start customizing the higher end figures. Now I buy most just for that reason. Mezco Blade was my first attempt swapping out the heads, the slowly customizing other parts to look like the first movie version. I just finished the version from Blade 2 last night and touch up some of his accessories. I like buying blank bodies to have around so if a want to make something new.

@@MarvelStopMotionStudios I really appreciate that

@@freddygonzalez1607 man thank you

@@jameswilliams2998 lol, what’s good man… took me a bit finding a good unpainted head sculpt, but I’m loving how this turned out.

@@Mr767267 thanks… I can’t remember who I got the head sculpt from, the the soft good were from GPSlots on eBay. I’m actually working on my video for my update Deadpool Wolverine Blade now.

@@efc_rackuun hey thanks… just finished an updated version of this one too

@@Mr767267 thanks… you’re asking about the head sculpt? No, but it would fit ain’t I can sculpt the inside to fit the peg. I actually just finished a never soon of this Blade that looks more like the movie version. I’ll be posting it this weekend.

@@krymson_reigns yeah I saw the shorts. Looks great! Do makes these heads or just paint it?

@@Mr767267 I just paint them
