For me, I’m getting 2 of these, 1 for a classic Mcfarlane Venom where he wasn’t gigantic tall, the other I’ll swap the arms out for a slimmer pair and turn him into Jim Lee Magneto
I buy pretty much all blank bodies because I love customizing soft goods figures. I bought this particular but I couldn't come up with an ideas. Then I came across an ebay seller with superhero costumes. Now I have a near perfect soft goods Thor using the costume and a used, 80 years Thor. Now If Hasbro ML would release a Doc Samson figure, I'd have another custom to make using this ADAM blank body.
Ah! Thanks! I bought him from BBTS and no where did they include "Muff Toys" (though I've definitely heard of them), nor was Muff Toys mentioned anywhere on the box. That's very weird, but I do see other sites listing it. I wonder why the info is so inconsistent?
Is Big Bad Toy Store currently shipping that ? Also you have a great channel I’ve been watching since Thursday and have learned a lot about blank figures .
Hey. Excellent review as always. What head are you using on the vtoys black body? I wish they made more action figure bodies and heads with darker skin and othe African features. Which do you prefer the Adam Body or the Vtoys body?
Thank you my friend! The head I have on that Vtoy black body is the Luke Cage (Netflix) figure 2-pack. Its actually a decent figure, but for some reason, they cant give it away! Its been on-sale for over a year now. Check it out! www.amazon.com/Marvel-Legends-Claire-Temple-Exclusive/dp/B07HDDK7Z9/ref=sr_1_3?crid=3LBK5YY0ZEL1T&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.PV-nPv-LXSOXes1kcOI5UeyINcYrhNvI-7iKrlE1yj2gLmGi2q4lKe2o6Ht19V4BXG-Lj8nRsnneSKF2DWp5iqX6f2cw6E4kvRLHcnMWzlVQmOV2_-b1vSpoiNoVeWdyYHGCHbKtv7vaFBdGeN5Hk9uBrA5f8ZGKvjdtno8NFQxeynedQgWSyWX5i9j29FPsUIVnvUJ8gjPpd-RXMitimO-gW-g12Eu7w8CO7PZHS89-oPuWJD-zMO5Se0xm7gOWhkbA9zCpEUzHGwbE4j_lZx4DgZG58B5G6AZYLHqhXPo.CUkSa9w6bfls9lpKqIaY-R44rl5oT_VBkksdTBceVOo&dib_tag=se&keywords=marvel+legends+luke+cage&qid=1723216406&sprefix=marvel+legends+luke+c%2Caps%2C186&sr=8-3 And honestly, between the Vtoys and Adam... I might go with Adam at the moment, only because it's so unique. There are plenty of blank bodies that fit the Vtoys 'niche' (size/scale). But there isn't a big beefy blank body like Adam (now right now anyway). But it all depends on who you're trying to make. For Superman? I think Vtoys is perfect. Adam is more for a Thor, Hercules, Luke Cage (maybe even a smaller/1st appearance Venom or Bane???).
Hey man, got a bit of a specific request but I was thinking of making a battle damaged Bruce Wayne figure (shirtless, bandaged up etc.) based on the Sovereign Knight Mezco Batman, but I was wondering what blank buck you would recommend to match the height and musculature of the Sovereign Knight, he’s got quite a beefy chest so I’m struggling to decide which one would match the height and width of him. Thanks! Just found your videos and I’ve been loving them, thought you’d have the expertise to give me a rec!
Hey! Thanks for the nice words, much appreciated!! I think, if you're looking for a Mezco Batman comparable figure, its without a doubt the GW Toys 001 body. I don't have Sovereign, but I do have Supreme Knight and I'm comparing it right now as I type this, and height, thickness, musculature... it's GW Toys 001. NW Toys is a tad too slim (he'd be perfect for a NightWing) and Vtoys is taller (which I prefer, but you're asking specifically to fit Mezco, so that's a no-no). It's GW Toys all the way. I do see some availability on Aliexpress if you're comfortable going that route; I've ordered many figs from there and never had a problem! Good luck!!
@@allaboutarticulation thanks for the quick response man, appreciate it! Keep up the good work, GW 001 seems like the way to go! You got a new subscriber :)
Adam strong is 6.8 already, adding boots will make it more tall. Luke cage is not that tall. I think what you have done with the VToys is crazy good. That's just my take on it.

He’s called Adam, it’s from Mufftoys

I want like 3 of these. 1 for a soft goods thor, 1 flr a soft goods He-man, and 1 to dye green and make a classic soft goods martian manhunter.

Thanks for the kind words!! Much appreciated And yes, I got mine from BBTS. Are they still in stock or back ordered?

The hands and the body is a baki figure waiting to happen
This would be a perfect base for an absorbing man custom! 🤯
Oh I hadn't thought of that! Good point

Can't you just paint this one to be darker?
I can try, but I'm not very confident in my painting skills. I'm afraid I'm going to ruin it!
