Hey everyone, welcome back to my channel! In this video we go over step-by-step instructions on how to remove and modify the fat suit padding for The Mandalorian by Hot Toys in order to improve his articulation and posing abilities. Although the "Beskar Deluxe" figure is featured, this modification process also works for the original Durasteel Mandalorian!

What I like about these videos is they show how durable Hot Toys really are. We tend to handle them with kid gloves, but they can actually be pushed pretty hard without having to worry.
Thanks so much for watching and sharing your positive feedback! I wholeheartedly agree -- there's a common misconception that Hot Toys are made out of paper and will crumble if you pose them or breathe on them too hard, and I really enjoy showcasing that these incredible posable works of art are anything but fragile. Granted they do each have safety risks and areas of concern, but they're definitely more durable than people give credit so I'm really glad you share the same sentiment 😊
@@PosingwithPeter Thank you, Peter. I really enjoyed your thoughtful response.
NECA needs to step up their game. Like I know there’s a big price difference but still
Try saying that to Spider-Man’s webs they snap so easily
Only rubber covered figures have problems.
The end result is great! It makes the helmet look like theres actually a person underneath in there now, not just all one piece.
Thanks! I know some people don't like how skinny the end result looks, but I guess folks like us don't mind it so I'm really glad you enjoyed it 😁
Thanks for watching and for sharing your positive feedback! 🙏
This extensive step by step is sooo appreciated, I will 100%be doing this & would have NEVER had the balls to try it without a guide.
PS : that Iron Spidey being "pulled off" by Mjolnir pose is pure awesome.
Sweeeet!! Thanks so much for sharing your positive feedback -- my goal for this video was to help fellow collectors feel more at ease for the modification process so I'm really glad you found it helpful 😊
PS: Thanks! Iron Spider is a new addition to the collection and I couldn't resist that pose since I really enjoyed it from the movie 😁
@@PosingwithPeter I'm late to the party because sideshow made me wait lol, but I just have to echo this comment. I've never wanted to modify before but mando is just a little too restricted and this is the perfect solution for me! Keep up the great work!
@@badmagick7 My apologies for also being late to the party! Sometimes I don't get notified when a comment like yours is part of a sub-thread / sub-comment so I didn't know you wrote this until now 🙇♂️
That's a bummer that you had to wait longer for your figure to arrive -- I hear there's STILL a lot of Sideshow customers who are still waiting! But alas I'm really happy that my video provided the info & guidance you needed to mod your figure. Thanks so much for echoing the positive feedback, I really do appreciate it ☺️🙏
You can tell Hot Toys goes above and beyond since the whole undressing and dressing probably is how the actual costume is wore.
Good point! I suppose the best people who might know would be cos-players, but I agree with ya... pretty neat look at the intricacies of the suit 😁
Thanks for watching & commenting!
@@PosingwithPeter Your welcome! Keep up the great work!
These figures have so much more value when you pose them well and you absolutely nail every section of that detolf. Great stuff as always, and thanks again Peter!
Dang thanks so much for your incredibly kind words and high praise! I really appreciate your compliments and support 😊🙏
Amazing tutorial Peter! Congrats on your first 1K subs well deserved! And thank you for the shout out! It means a lot to me 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻. Cant wait for the next posing session!
Thanks so much Dante! Really appreciate your support ❤️ And of course it's my pleasure to give ya a shoutout -- you have awesome videos that are high in quality and in content, and I think more collectors need to see you strut your stuff! 🙌 Likewise man, looking forward to your next posing video!
For all that are just now receiving their Mandos, try medical bandage tape, get it in black, and adhere accordingly. It’ll look neater, and hold better. As an aspiring tattoo artist, they use this to help on the grip of the machine and last for an eternity if applied tightly!
Nice! I never would've thought of that -- another great alternative to modifying the fat suit. Thanks for sharing, and best of luck on your endeavors as a tattoo artist 🙌🤩👊
@@PosingwithPeter Thank you! Keep up the awesome poses! They help inspire big time!
There’s no way I’d ever deconstruct my figures, I’ve already damaged 2 of them doing basic things like joint removals but WOW this was a great video 👍🏽
Aw that’s huge a bummer - sorry to hear you didn’t have great experiences 😕
I’m glad you enjoyed the video though! Thanks for watching & sharing your positive feedback ☺️🙏
That Iron Spider pose is fantastic!
Thanks so much for watching til the end! I'm glad ya liked that Iron Spider pose 😁
@@PosingwithPeter Hey thank you for the video! Finished my suit upgrade per your instructions today. Much better!
Bro this is amazing man, great job. If I could make a request it’d be a body mod tutorial for the BvS Batman figure. Seriously, your videos are very informative good job.
Doh! As it turns out, I don't own the BvS Batman figure. I do have Justice League Batman but I haven't modded him nor plan to anytime soon 😅
Thanks so much for your compliments and support though! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video and found it helpful/informative 😊
Massive thank you for uploading this tutorial. It gave me the knowledge and confidence to modify my Beskar Mando. Blown away with the results. It makes a world of difference. In addition, I cut the remaining fat suit into a 'singlet' to bulk out the torso. Once you re-sew the stitching at the back it's nice and secure. Thanks again.
Ditto! Massive thank you for watching and sharing your positive feedback -- it means a lot to me knowing that I was able to help ya appreciate your figure even more, so I'm grateful for your comment and support 😊🙏 And great idea with the singlet padding! 🙌
I did these same mods to mine, i used the entire body suit tho once you make the cuts it moves just as good, I just felt the chest area wasn’t as bulky without it also I didn’t use tape once I put the suit on everything stayed in place but that’s just for me
Nice! I'm glad that worked out for ya. I originally tried keeping the body padding to retain his bulk but the long sleeve was still a bit tight/troublesome for my liking. But hey, that's the best part about custom modding -- to each their own! 😁
1:29 The moment he is no longer Mandalorian
Understood that reference, nice 😂
He’ll always be a Mandalorian in our hearts.
I did a body swap to the m33 phicen body and it makes the figure pose so well I would highly recommend the swap to people who do not want to any modifying the mod took about 15 minutes
Indeed the Phicen M33 body swap is probably best mod for the figure -- keeps him looking fit while improving his posability plenty. The only downside is the extra $70-100 USD. I personally couldn't justify that since Beskar Mando Deluxe was already over $300, but I respect those who do it, cause it looks damn good! 🤩
@@PosingwithPeter totally get that I’m not a huge collector of hot toys so when I do get one I like to get it to peak capacity but if I had a collection as awesome as yours I would definetly go the modding route either way the figure looks so cool
Congrats on 1k and I have to ask, what do you use for the daggers in the Loki pose?
Thanks so much! I really appreciate your compliments and support ☺️🙏
For Loki, I wrapped black twist-ties around the handles of the daggers then attached them to his wrist pegs. I tend to use black twist ties for my causal wire work since they're subtle and blend-in with most figure bodies/clothing as they're not so reflective compared to usual silver wire. Hope that helps!
How you attached the flying daggers in Lokis hands? (at min. 12:00)
Oh I see. You use little black cables on his wrist. :o) very clever and good camouflage. ;o)
Yep! They're just black twist-ties that come with various electronics that wrap the power cables in their packaging, and I use them in particular because they blend in better than the traditional silver wire.
Hey just a question does doing this mod void the warranty or is hot toys ok with this
Oh I’m fairly certain it voids warranty. Usually any kind of alteration / unauthorized modifications like this do void the warranties of products, so I’d only recommend doing this if you do not want to void your warranty. I’m guessing that this mod will also affect the re-sale value.
@@PosingwithPeter thanks mans thats really helpful
All these people modding their figures. You can do what you want. Just know you void the after market value.
I'm thinking of using a seamless body the M33 to keep the suit full but full range of motion of them bodies. Maybe on durasteel or both😁 who knows.
It’s worth it, I messed up on mine kinda
Yeah that works too! Definitely looks better with the M33 too. I just wasn't willing to spend the extra $70-90 USD on another figure body so I just used what was already included for practicality 😁 Good luck though, I'm sure you'll love the end results!
Cambiale el cuerpo...
Busca uno mas musculoso...
Y mejor con el rostro descubierto del mandalorian...
O ajusta el traje para que sea justo a su cuerpo...
Pero no es bueno ponerle nada a un cuerpo, igual lo dañas.
Don’t know if they are continuing the series but nice video peter
Thanks! And yeah the recent controversy definitely put a stain on the franchise. Hopefully they're able to navigate through that and continue to pump out another awesome season. Here's to hoping, and thanks for watching & commenting! 🙏
I have this and great help to pose.have the HT Robocop too.
Did you repaint it the blue hue
or someone else..Original is too silver.Looks great.Any tips
THANKS
Thanks for watching and for staying til the end to see the glimpse of Robocop! As it turns out, mine is not repainted. It's the stock figure but I tend to increase contrast & saturation when I edit to give my videos some depth & color -- I shoot on iPhone and the raw footage is sometimes a bit flat without being tweaked a bit.
Excellent info! I really think you improved the figure a lot by thinning him down. He looked fat. Now, he looks like Mando!
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed the video and body mod tutorial ☺️
It physically hurts me to watch someone cut a part of a hot toy figure, even if it is for the better good
Great video! Thank you very much, I followed the instructions and the result is just so much better than with the original suit. I modified and kept the upper torso, so the figure wouldn't loose buffiness, but I did remove the bicep part to maintain flexibility (like a vest). Awesome tutorial!
Oh nice! Yeah I've heard a decent amount of collectors end up keeping the body vest attached to maintain his bulk. I'm really glad you found this video helpful and that you're now able to enjoy posing Mando even more 😁 Thanks so much for watching & for sharing your positive feedback!
I like this because he doesn't look super chunky like he did with the under suit padding
Nice, I agree. I thought he was just a whee-bit too thick with all the original padding, so it's nice to make his posing easier while also helping him appear less chonky 😅
Thanks for watching & commenting!
Thank you for showing me what’s inside a hot toy figure cause I’m getting one.
My pleasure! I’m glad you enjoyed the process and found it insightful - thanks for watching and for sharing your positive feedback 😊🙏
Wow! This is exactly the tutorial I have been looking for. Super gun shy about modifying a Hot Toy so this is extremely helpful. Thanks Sensei Peter
Sweet! I figured there are other great videos of the fat-suit removal process too, so I'm really glad you were still able to enjoy my video and found it help! Always appreciate your support 😊
@@PosingwithPeter there might be others out there, but the caution and care you take is what makes your version the one to watch
Really appreciated the work put into this, trying my hand at kitbashing, new to collecting, and didn't actually think how much bits and pieces go into making this figures. Much thanks, awesome hobby, TY for sharing , I'm about to subscribe, in 3...2...
Ayyy thanks so much for your support and for sharing your positive feedback! I’m really glad you found this video helpful especially as a newer collector. My goal for this video was to inspire confidence in folks like yourself so I’m grateful for your compliments and comment 😊
Your tutorial just opened up a whole new world of posing possibilities!! Thanks a ton!
Next tutorial - How to put 1/6th scale Tony into a Mk7 Iron man hottoy :D
Nice! I’m really glad you found my video helpful and informative. Haha as it turns out I don’t own the Mk7 😅
Thanks for watching and for sharing your positive feedback!
That Iron Spider is awesome! How are you holding everything in place? Looks like maybe wire in the webbing? What’s the web material? I totally want to do this.
Thanks! And yeah the webbing is just 20 gauge silver wire that’s been wrapped in clear plastic cling-wrap that’s normally used for food, and the figure is suspended from one of the large claws that’s attached to his back (it’s connected to a metal wire just above that’s out of frame).
New sub here, quick question: is there anyway to modify
spider-man’s suits the same way you modified this mando figure?? I’m new to the Hot Toys game and recently-ish, and I have the HT’s AoU Hulkbuster and PS4’s Iron Spider figure. I know limited posing is kinda the cost of doing business for spider-man figures, but if there is a way to modify the spider-man figures to allow for more posing, I’d be down to try it
Ayy welcome to the channel and thanks so much for your support! Congrats on your AoU Hulkbuster and Iron Spider 🤩
There is indeed a way to modify Spidey figures but it's no where near as easy as this video. Mando's costume is mostly loose fabric that's held together with Velcro, meanwhile Spidey figures are sewn /stitched together (the seams are under the armpits and along the sides of the body), so removing and reattaching his suit requires a bit of skill in that department. Additionally once the Spidey suit is removed, the main method to improving his figure's articulation is by shaving off chunks of plastic around the groin so his legs can go higher. Although this would allow the figure to pose better, the other concern is the durability of his suit -- each Spidey figure can be made of different materials, most of which are susceptible to paint damage or permanent creases. It's for these reasons that most collectors don't really pose their Spidey figures aggressively in order to keep the figure in good condition.
Hope that info helps!
Just did this and followed along with your awesome tutorial!! Thanks so much for the great video. The mods make the figure posing 100x better and so excited for all the new possibilities hahaha
Sweet! I’m really glad you found this video helpful. Indeed he’s a lot more fun to pose when the suit isn’t so restricted - plus you can always take the figure apart again to add some of the padding back as needed in the future 😁
Thanks so much for watching and for sharing your positive feedback! Happy posing! 🤩🙌
NiCE peter👍🏻
Thanks!
Will this work on other hot toys?
watch your tutorial and successfully modified my beskar mando. love your guide!
Awesome! I'm so glad you found this video helpful enough to modify your own Beskar Mando 🙌 Thanks so much for watching and for sharing your positive feedback 😁 Happy posing!
Great tutorial. Not having tried modifications to figures before, this was an excellent guide 👍 Once I get the figure, I'd feel confident trying this
Thanks so much for your positive feedback! This is exactly what I was hoping for -- to help fellow collectors who might've been apprehensive feel a bit more confident and comfortable in the process so I really appreciate you for sharing this ☺️🙏
This actually made me finally pull the trigger on this one as my first hot toy. Thank you Peter :)
Oh wow, I'm SO incredible honored to have helped inspire your first Hot Toys purchase!! That's so awesome Josh! Congrats!! And thanks so much for watching & sharing your positive feedback -- it really means a lot to me knowing I was able to have that much of a positive impact on ya 😊🙏🙇♂️ You're gonna love this figure set, he comes with tons of goodies for fun pose ideas and is also more forgiving to pose compared to other more delicate figures that have tight form-fitted suite like Spider-Man 😁
Thank you so much!
I did exactly the same with my Chrome Mando, and now he is much more mobile. I also like that he has become a little thinner. This is my first Hot Toys figurine, and without your video, I definitely would not have dared to dismantle the costume.
Aw thanks so much for sharing your positive feedback! I’m really glad this video helped ya through the process. Congrats on it being your first Hot Toy as well! Mighty brave of ya to modify your first one but I highly commend ya for having the courage and passion to follow through.
Happy posing and thanks for watching!
All I take away from this is video is, Hot Toys could have just added more accessories with either Mando and charge a bit more. It would have been cheaper than getting 2. All that velcro there 😂 and amazing tutorial Peter!!
Hahahaha I totally agree! They should've included accessories for both figures so collectors could choose! Bahhh they know how to play the game 😅 And thanks for watching! I'm glad ya enjoyed it and I appreciate your compliments & support!
Thank you so much for this step by step tutorial on how to mod this figure! I'll definitely be doing this to my Deluxe Mando once I get him in hand! Also, do you have any plans on doing a collection video?
Sweet! I'm really glad that you found this video helpful and that you'll be applying what you learned here to your own figure! That really means a lot to me so thanks for sharing 😊
I'm awaiting a few more figures before doing a collection video but I most definitely will be doing one eventually. I've only made 2 collection tour videos throughout my years of collecting, both of which I didn't bother to upload here on the new channel so I'm long-overdue 😅
Mando lifesaver video. I just modded the fat suit with your guide! Please make more how-tos, maintenance, or more posing videos!
Awesome! I'm really glad you found this video helpful for your own Mando figure 😊 Thanks for watching & sharing your positive feedback! 🙏
Great video, personally a TBleague body would take care of filling out the costume and give you tremendous articulation. You should check it out and see.
Thanks! And yeah I saw the TBLeague mod before filming this video, it's definitely the best way to get him looking great while unlocking his posability.
is it bad that I got the chrome mando, and within an hour of opening it, I had this video up, the figure ripped open, and cutting the fat suit? This video just made it so easy to follow for a first time Modder. Thank you for the videos!
Haha that’s not a bad thing at all! Some purist collectors might argue that you’ve “ruined a perfectly good figure” but personally I’ve always been of the mindset that we paid for them with our own hard-earned money so we have every right to do whatever we want with it.
At the end of the day as long as you’re able to enjoy your figure (stock or modified) then that’s all that matters. I’m really glad you found this video helpful for your first modification - and now you can always go back in to add/remove as much padding as you like 🙌
Thanks so much for watching and for sharing your positive feedback! Happy posing! 😁
this i want to learn posing of figure so i can apply thanks for the tips bro
I'm glad you enjoy the video and tips! Thanks so much for watching! 😊
I just use the Phiccen M33 and use the stock body for my custom Mandalorian
Nice! That's quite an awesome modification to Mando -- a bit too pricey for my liking but definitely the best looking mod for sure 👍
Hey bud I love the channel just started and subed. I have a question how durable are hot toys? I kinda like to pose and play with my stuff if I spend this much money 😜
Ayy thanks so much for watching / subbing / commenting with your positive feedback 😊 And welcome to the world of Hot Toys!
In terms of “how durable are they”, it really varies on multiple factors. Not only do the materials differ for each character (plastic, diecast metal, soft fabrics, pleather etc) but climate and posing also impact the overall longevity. Hot and humid climates do the most harm since the materials begin to crack & flake a lot faster so keeping them in a controlled environment with low humidity is ideal.
Posing in itself is one of the biggest dilemmas in the Hot Toys community. Indeed these are very expensive which is why many collectors prefer to keep their Hot Toys in safer “museum” style poses - to increase the longevity and maintain potential resale value. However there are plenty of passionate posers like me who prefer adding a little dynamism to the figures. It definitely comes at the cost of losing resale value since dynamic poses tend to stretch & pull the fabrics more thus causing creases, winkles, even damage sometimes… but ultimately it all comes down to personal preference. If you plan to resell the figures at the highest possible value in the future, then probably best to not pose them very much… but if you like to pose & play with your stuff, then I’d say pose to your heart’s content 😉
If you’re on Facebook then check out the group “Sixth Scale Posers” - I think I have a link in the description box but it’s a group of fellow passionate posers that often showcase their work and are also very welcoming to new collectors like yourself. I hope this info helps, and perhaps I’ll see ya over in the Facebook group 😁
I did it with season 2 chrome mando and it's exactly the same step by step I was so iffy about doing it also this is only my second figure but then just said screw it and the end result is so much better btw I used hot glue to keep the pads in place instead of tape cuz I felt like I'd hear the crinkling of the tape as I posed him😂😂 so as someone who did it for the first time ever on only my second owned figure I would say take your time and try it out if you get to a point where you feel like you'll break something just put it back together no harm no foul but definitely watch this video if your going to do it
Nice! I actually don’t have the season 2 chrome Mando but I was curious if this step by step process for Beskar Mando would work so I’m really glad it turned out to improve your chrome Mando’s posability 😁
Thanks for watching and for sharing your positive feedback 🙌
Do you have the death maul figure from the phantom menace? He’s mostly very pose-able but like mando, he struggles to lift his arms and legs up. The fat suit on him is such a pain in the ass especially when his clothes are really baggy + loose anyway so the tight fat suit shouldn’t be needed.
I do own Darth Maul from Phantom Menace but mine is the Sideshow version which didn't come with a fat suit. I suppose you could try removing the fat suit from your Darth Maul figure if it hinders his movement.
I personally prefer it with fat suit on, tho this video was still great and very detailed, and the payoff is pretty incredible, good job!!
Thanks so much! I'm really glad you found the video enjoyable and informative even if you don't plan to modify your Mando -- your positive feedback means a lot to me 😊🙏 And yeah I also prefer the aesthetic of the original figure with the fat suit on, but dang it the passionate poser in me couldn't resist haha
You can also pull off the neck joint with the shirt when removing and leave the neck joint in the shirt to avoid damage to the foam glued to the neck and save some time. Great video and Chanel.
I thought about mentioning that, but was concerned that some collectors might be apprehensive about yanking the neck-joint off the body out of fear of them potentially damaging their figures 😅 It's a good tip nonetheless 👍
Thanks for watching & commenting!
Great channel you have. I wish to see a video of you posing more figures in one video (like robocop, mine is i his clasic shooting stance) to get nspired.
Thanks so much for your compliments and feedback! Funny that you mention wanting a video for Robocop -- I've begun filming his video. I'll try to get it done this month (pending my busy work life 😅) so stay tuned, and thanks for watching!
Hi, do you happen to have a similar video for your Power Rangers? I saw the posing near the end and they are posed so we'll. Love it.
Thanks so much for watching till the end! As much as I would like to make a posing video for my power ranger figures, unfortunately they're unlicensed third party figures and Hasbro has been going around flagging some channels that feature full videos of these figures with copyright strikes. As such I probably won't take that risk, but I do have some pics of them on my Instagram for your viewing pleasure 😊
You're one of the ballsiest collector I've ever met to do something like this
Haha thanks but there are many collectors who are far braver than me - look up “Iron Daddy” on TH-cam, he completely destroys Hot Toys like Thanos / Spider-Man and turns them into incredible “battle-damage” customs 🤩👌
Wow fantastic!!! Can I forward the video to other websites or platforms?
Thanks! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video and found it informative 😊
Absolutely you can share this video to various sites and forums. It's set to "public" and "embedding" is turned on. Thanks for sharing! 🙏
Awesome share. I’m to chicken to try that!!! But thanks for the tips.
Aww, yeah this modification definitely process isn't for everyone 😅 I'm really glad you still enjoyed it though, thanks so much for watching and sharing your positive feedback!
I notice that your Deadpool is posed in some weird way. Are you not scared that his costume will get damaged from posing it for long time?
He's actually already damaged, hence the long term dynamic pose.
For context, Deadpool 1.0 was among the first five figures in my collection back when it released a few years ago. He was brand new and even though I kept him in safe poses as a new collector, the suit began falling apart on its own (knee pads & various straps unglued, the black pleather parts flaked etc). From this, I learned that these figures really don't last very long even if you're careful so I pose them more aggressively now in order to enjoy them while I can 😁
Does this mod hurt any possible resale value? Not that I wish to ever have to sell, but life can happen.
Yeah any form of modifications will likely impact resale value since buyers often prefer the figure to be sold in a condition that’s very close to new. As always, do what works best for you, and thanks for watching!
I'm new to the channel and for a moment I thought I was listening to NileRed.
Hahaha thanks, that's quite the compliment given that he's an incredibly intelligent and successful TH-camr so I'll take what I can get 😅
Welcome to my channel, and thanks so much for watching & commenting! 😊🙏
Will you be doing one for the Heavy Mandalorian? The mobility is really poor
My apologies but it turns out I won't be doing a video for Heavy Mando since I decided not to get his figure due to limited shelf space. I will be getting IG-11 though, so there will definitely be more upcoming Mando content 😊 And thanks for watching / commenting!
Very good video! Very informative.
Thanks so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed it and found it helpful! ☺️
Thanks Peter! I can finally do the poses I wanted!
Awesome Alex! I'm really glad my video helped ya appreciate your figure even more 😁🙌 Happy posing, and thanks so much for watching & sharing your positive feedback! 🙏
Can we please get one with a hot toys Vader ? I’m having a hard time losing him since he’s so limited in articulation
Doh! As it turns out, I don't have a Hot Toys Vader figure. I do have a Sideshow Vader and he makes an appearance with a couple poses in my video for Director Krennic 😁
Use all the extra padding in the belly, make the Dad Bod Boba Fett body
Hahahaha 😂🤣
Could something like this be done for Commander Cody? I feel like some of his joints are hindered
Hmm I imagine it can be down! But I wouldn't know for sure since I don't own that figure.
excellent ,thank you ,very good job, take care !
My pleasure, and thank you for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed it ☺️🙏
Hey pete which figure are u planning to do posing i am thinking about upgraded suit
Hi there! I'm definitely planning on making a video for Spidey Upgraded Suit, but mine is coming from Sideshow which won't arrive for maybe a month or more. Stay tuned, and thanks for watching!
Definitely doing this mod to my Chrome Mando when I get him! 💯🔥
Nice! Just take your time and you’ll do fine 😁 Have fun posing, and thanks so much for watching!
Thanks for this tutorial. I don't have this figure but this could help for other figures in my collection. I thought it would be a lot harder than this. Great work.
Ayyy thanks so much for watching and commenting! It's really nice knowing that you'll still be able to take what you've learned here and apply it to other figures despite not even owning Mando; so I really appreciate your positive feedback 🙏
could you by any chance do a posing vid for hellboy? youre one of the best posers ive ever seen!!!
Thanks so much for your compliments & support! My apologies but as it turns out I don't plan on getting Hellboy, didn't watch the movie 😅
any chance of you doing that video on TLOU posing video?
Ahh that's a valid request. I do have video plans for Joel and Ellie down the line (I have a note in my phone that has like 10 pose ideas from the first game), but I haven't decided if their video will have my usual voice-over or if I'll dive into a music posing video for them. Either way their video will happen eventually but TBH probably not for a while since I wanna do them justice and really plan that video out accordingly. Thanks for the friendly reminder though! 🙏
My figure doesnt come with a zipper
Oh damn, that's really unfortunate 😕 I wonder if it fell off during assembly at the factory.
awesome posing bro ! thumbs up from Algeria
Thanks so much! Greetings from California 😁
Would you think about sharing your tricks for making it look like the figures/ accessories are sustained in motion like your iron spider pose and Loki’s knives?
Absolutely! I'm happy to share right here, no video necessary 😅 For Iron Spider, I've got him suspended mid-air using a metal bar that's wedged between the frame of the detolf (I featured it in my video for Miles Morales when Peter Parker is stuck to the ceiling holding Miles by his belt). As for Loki, I just used black twist-tie wires to prop up his knives -- if you rewatch that part of the video and look closely, you can see black twist-ties around the handles of the knives that then connect to his wrist pegs. Hope that helps, and thanks for watching/commenting!
@@PosingwithPeter Thank you so much!
i mean the mandalorian isnt like supermab buff so it doesnt really matter if he is a bit thinner
I totally agree -- removing some meat off his bones was a worthy sacrifice to gain better/easier articulation for me personally, but there are also collectors who *really* prefer their figures to be as screen accurate as possible, so I try to remain respectful those peeps by acknowledging their concerns 😊
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Super thorough tutorial- glad that there is no need to cut or sew any of the soft goods
Yeah I try to keep my modifications & tutorials as easy and straight-forward as possible, so I’m glad you appreciate the simplicity of the process 😁
Thanks for watching & commenting your positive feedback!
Doing it and doing it now.. Thanks For The video.
Glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching! 😊
Is it the same steps for the dura steal mando thanks
Yep, same steps 👍
Do a video on the Spider-Man with Mjolnir pose?
But he's already in this video 😁
Did you have any questions in particular? A few others asked about that Iron Spider pose here in the comments which I addressed but I'm happy to help clarify anything if ya need!
man do dx12 fat suit removal pls!
I'd love to see that myself haha, but unfortunately I don't have the DX-12 figure 😭
Great video dude!
Best Hot Toys poses on youtube
Oh wow haha thanks so much for your compliments and support! 🙏😊
PVA glue not better tape?
Sure, glue could work too. Personally I'm too lazy & impatient to be gluing stuff and waiting for it to dry especially since the padding is hidden under the fabric. Plus I preferred to use tape since it allows me to continue making adjustments or modifications down the line as opposed to undoing glue. Like I always say, do what works best for you!
this is an amazing channel
I have spoken
Haha nice reference, and thanks so much! I appreciate your compliments and support ☺️
Have you thought about or modified your Captain America's? I know a lot of Cap figures don't quite match the on-screen depiction (specifically the traps) so that might be a good idea for a video! All in all very cool channel?
I actually have modified my Captain America figures: added some padding to the traps for Civil War Cap & Strike Suit cap; didn't bother filming it though since it was one of those late-night projects that kept me up long past my bed-time 😂 Thanks for the suggestion & support though! 🙏
@@PosingwithPeter would still love to see how you did it, maybe someday :D
Im pretty sure in this day and age they can create a better fire effect.
I think it looks pretty good in person and in the right lighting conditions. My videos generally use bright LEDs since my apartment is kinda dark and it unfortunately makes the figures / accessory-effects too reflective and kinda toyetic... but looks pretty decent in natural daylight when the fire effect not so shiny 😁😅
Please modify cap endgame body
Ehh I actually like that figure the way it is though 😅
He just cut and modifed a 100$+ item......my heart and soul cries but I liked the mods.
Hahaha yeah, totally understandable... this process isn't for everyone. For me, it's as if an owner of a sports-car went and modified their already-expensive vehicle just so they can drive it a bit faster or give it better handling on the road. To each their own, and thanks for watching & commenting! ☺️
@@PosingwithPeter aaaw thx for replying. Great work 👍
If you guys can dish out another 100 $ dollars, than get the phicen m34 body. Its rubber muscle over metal skeleton. Top tier replacement and it fits perfectly and fills all the loose spots of fat suit removal. Hope this helps as an other option
I agree! The TBLeague / Phicen body swap is definitely the best modification one can do for Mando... looks so good and poses so well. I personally didn't wanna spend the extra cash on that since the Deluxe set was already $300+ but indeed it's another great option that I totally forgot to mention in the video 🤦♂️😅 Thanks for sharing!
Posing with Peter sure thing. Thank you for sharing the process. Very informative. I love the mando line from ht. Keep it up man. Thumbs up
Have you ever modified a bare threezero figure? Im trying to see what i could do in terms of getting better posability & better joints with this threezero Subject Delta I have but not sure what to do. I have like took it apart though. Hopefully you can give me some tips
My apologies but the only ThreeZero figures I own are my DLX Transformers... none of their humanoid figures so I haven't had a chance to modify them. I suppose various Facebook groups or Reddit may have the answers / advice you're looking for. Best of luck, and thanks for watching / commenting! 🙏
@@PosingwithPeter Thank you regardless. Ill be sure to check those out
Awesome video👍🏻
Thanks for watching & commenting! 🙏
Great video! I'm a little bit hesitant to destroy the fat man suit though. Just wondering, what is it that's hindering the articulation, is it the fat man suit itself or is it the size that pulls on the fabric during articulation? If it's the suit itself, I'm just wondering if anyone has tried replacing the body with a muscular body from World Box or any of the other 1/6 manufacturers that have more articulation and that are of a bigger size to eliminate some of the bagginess?
Thanks for watching & commenting! Totally understandable not wanting to destroy the fat suit, especially if ya ever plan to resell the figure. Fortunately pieces of paper towel or tissue can work too.
In terms of what's causing the restriction in articulation, for me it was the fat suit itself. Upon experimenting with my OG Mando last year, I tried cutting the fat suit at the joints while leaving it all attached to see if I could improve articulation while keeping his bulk but unfortunately the long sleeve was still feeling really tight due to the padding around his body (hence why I didn't bother to include it here).
I have seen some collectors replace the whole body with Phicen M33 -- makes him very posable while looking very natural as well. The only downside is that figure body can cost around $80-100 USD which I wasn't willing to spend. More power to those who do though 🤑😁
@@PosingwithPeter Thanks for that, much appreciated! I think I will try to use one of the 3rd party base bodies to accomplish this. Really appreciate your response :)
Man the video was excellent to watch. Man they do look better for articulation. Just received my OG mando today. Can I do that with him as well?
Thanks so much for watching! I'm really glad you enjoyed it 😊 Congrats on receiving OG Mando! Yep, indeed this modification works for OG Mando as well -- I did it for my OG Mando that was shown in the video towards the end!
@@PosingwithPeter sweet i just might do the same thing. Thank you brotha keep those videos going
How pose like your Loki (Thor 3) 🤔?
I used black wires to keep the knives up 😁
I was wincing seeing taken apart but was definitely intriguing seeing a dissected hot toy. Not doing this personally but great video overall
Haha yeah it’s definitely not for everyone but I’m glad you still enjoyed the process. Thanks for watching!
Haha yeah it’s definitely not for everyone but I’m glad you still enjoyed the process. Thanks for watching!
Great video! I kept the whole fat suit but just made some oval incisions at the joints. That freed up his ROM.
Thanks! And nice! I tried that approach on my durasteel Mando by just slicing the padded joints while leaving all the padding still attached inside. Although his range of motion did improve, the upper chest padding still made his shirt a bit too tight for my personal liking. He definitely looked a lot healthier and fuller when the padding was still intact though 😅
I'm glad that works out for ya! Thanks for watching & commenting 😁
@@PosingwithPeter agreed. I'll try your method for my beskar and compare
How is this ok to do without damaging the figure?
This is waaaaay too risky.
Also do you need to modify the pads in order the pose him in the walking pose?
Ahh yeah I mention in the video that modding isn't really required nor meant for everyone. Indeed it can be quite risky if you're unfamiliar with the process so my goal for the video was to help apprehensive collectors become more familiar, confident, and comfortable with it -- as always, do what works best for you 😉
And no, you don't need to modify him to do the waking pose. It does help tremendously, but not required.
@@PosingwithPeter ah ok did you do a tutorial on posing for Mandalorian?
If so is the walking pose one of em? =)
knee is looking abit fubar
Yeah as mentioned in the video it was a half-assed mod job... just wanted to get the main points across for the modification process. Thanks for watching!
Best tutorials on TH-cam
Thanks so much for the high praise! I really appreciate your compliments and support 🙏
Very nice mate, dont own mando myself still appreciate the vid.
Just landed a yondu whould be nice seeing how you got that posed up.
Thanks so much! I'm really glad you're still able to enjoy the video despite not even owning Mando... I guess I'm doing something right 😅 Congrats on your Yondu figure! Wow what a grail piece. I did feature Yondu in a couple poses for my video for Nebula so be sure to check that out!

@@PosingwithPeter.
Lol already seen it 5 times or so now already great vid. Im
Just waiting on some time and someone to help me move some figures around, picked up a few top shelfers this month, my bank accounts seen thanos's dusting lol
The pose uve got yondu in, in the background looks superb.
do you think it would be possible to do this steps for Hot toys Captain america the first avengers?
As it happens I don’t own that figure 😭
@@PosingwithPeter I just got him and the articulation is really very restricted and I really want to pose him, tried googling but only other version of captain america have. :(
