Loving the mod and your DC Essentials collection is sick! Have you tried adding alternative hands to your dc essentials figure? I tried with marvel legends ones but the peg is just too big for it
@@Widjajajaja Thanks! I love the DC Essentials line. They’re not perfect but great for customizing. I haven’t tried that for the same reason but I suppose you could drill the hole just slightly bigger and warm up the arm before inserting the larger peg.
Yeah it’s subtle. Making the legs shorter isn’t super exciting but makes the figures look a lot better IMO. It’s just a change most don’t understand until you see it.
I replaced my figure's head with a custom "BatgirL", painting the hair black. She's basically Bertinelli as Batwoman, which is the direction i preferred for the character.
It's hilarious how the figure is a Frankenstein's Monster of not just reused parts but also designs the character had. The cape on this figure is more in tune with her current look (though that figure has white eyes instead of all black). Though the mask is a bit of her old but with a tiny mix of her Titans East (which had extra stitching). That's a hint to me that McFarlane is SO gonna re-release her probably as a variant with the white eyes and probably closer Bat symbol in a probable two-pack with Stephanie Brown (Batgirl/Spoiler). I made two custom versions myself. One is an unmasked variant with changeable hands. I used the Batwoman Beyond unmasked variant since she not only was an older mold, but the head looks spot on to Cass's unmasked look. I used some tack I got from buying a third-party spider sense on the head peg (since the pegs are different). The fists do work well but I had to use nail polish to tighten the ball joint. The other custom is a more "comic-accurate" Cass. That one, I used the closed fists and feet on the Batman Rebirth (Jim Gordon) to give her a little more closer to comics look. Now all I need to do is find more tack, since I kind like those Spider-Sense effects. You wouldn't happen to know the exact kind of tack is called? ;^_^
I don’t know exactly but I’ve used 3M sticky tack and museum putty and they both work fine. More often I just use hot glue to fill the void as a more semi permanent solution. Hot glue in the hole, petroleum jelly (vasoline) on the peg and move it around while the glue dries. I demonstrate the method in my Comic BVS Batman video towards the end.
I'm loving your videos!!! And man, show that Conan!!! PLEASEEEE

Hard to see how much you improved it, till you see the side by side. Looks awesome now! Nice work
