    Hi, I saw that you have done thigh mod on Mcf Cyborg Superman to increase the rotation. I would say that I have seen people are just grinding the "behind" from the legs parts, and preserve the thighs looks, no cuts seen. I guess, the "behind" and the trunks are what making it not able to rotate more. Have fun!

    Food grade silicone also works but it can be messy because its spray can. Alternative is Denso Siliconoil, put in syringe and it's all good.

    Bro. Just subscribed. I would love a video on you applying Mr Hobby Super Smooth Clear Matt to different action figures. I am very interested in that spray but it is not sold in my country, so I need to import it. As you seem to use it, if you just discuss your experience of using it, and apply it to figures live in a video to show your process, as well as show other figures you have already done, that would be amazing.

    Hi, so just a dumb question : Do you need to take the figure apart (or the specific joints) to apply the silicon oil? Or can you do that without taking it apart and using a nozzle to reach the hard to reach parts? Also, do you use lukewarm water or boiling water ?

    • @MagnumWest-zd9lo
      @MagnumWest-zd9lo  28 วันที่ผ่านมา

      You could probably do without breaking the figure apart but it just works better. I use like almost boiling, like a simmer type deal.

    Ive had fused joints. It looked like the parts were put together hot and melted into one piece. It was the elbow joint fusing the upper bicep and forearm. Oh and I got a Classified Joe figure that had a fused knee. I think it was A torpedo.

    Marvel legends are harder to take apart because they are made for children to play with, if they could easily be pulled apart they would not be able to label them as toys

    • @MagnumWest-zd9lo

      Sorry to hear that. Yeah man, I would reccomend touching it up with some acrylic paint of ur choice, then hitting it with a durable top coat, then a matte finish. That’s what I did to mine and it came out pretty good. I use this like sticky tack kind of substance to mask areas I’m working on. 👍

    Use boiled water and put the action figure in it to loosen tight joints. Remember to flex and move. Sometimes, a pull will work. If still a little tight, do the same again.

    Hey dude I just subbed I was wondering if you had any advice about cutting plastic capes down to improve articulation Is there any way to make the plastic softer for example? Anyway good luck with your channel 👍🤘

    • @MagnumWest-zd9lo
      @MagnumWest-zd9lo  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks for watching and commenting brother! I was going to say, I would personally invest in a cloth but if that is not an option, I definitely would recommend trimming any areas of the cape that clash with the figure. Mcfarlane tends to make really heavy capes so maybe you can try hollowing it out with a Dremel. Make a cut at the bottom and trim the inside plastic as much as possible. Not the best advice but I hope it helps bro. 🙏

    • @ucitymetalhead
      @ucitymetalhead 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      You could try to make strategic cuts in the cape to increase the range of motion.

      @davidpyott3710 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@MagnumWest-zd9lo hey dude, appreciate the feedback. With regards to cloth capes. Removing the cape would damage the fig quite a lot. Secondly the figure is a ML. So I think that they are too expensive for the basic figure you get. I didn't want to spend anymore money on it. Also I'm keen to try and modify figs myself. The articulation is so poor that anything would be an improvement. Thanks for the advice guys. 🤘👍

    You can buy a Purple Power chemical you can pick up at any store , pour in a container drop your figure in there for about 2 or 3 days , when you pull oull the paint will fall or rinse right off.
