Well, I swapped a Robin I picked up last week. It's true though, they're not that easy to swap (Sandman's on the same small body as Robin though).

You need a slim or slim shouldered TT body, Robin looks like a linebacker. :lol

Psssttt.....In the second picture, his balls are showing... :google

I know, I wanted him to fit in with the other DCD figures, so I used the standard TT. The balls on the DCD body were hanging out even more, if you can believe it (I think I'll use double-sided tape to hold his undies in place).

I did the same formula except for the hand those are SS Darth maul hands could not find any pegs big enough for his own gloves. Still searching. He is a hot figure with the small mods, my only problem is his cape boy did they give us a lot of cape for this guy...It's like a blanket.

I need to try out the Maul gloves... the old style HT pegs will work with the DCD hands. But I think the Maul gloves look better as they are a bit longer.

I like this figure a lot.

MANDO · Oct 19, 2009

Anyone tried glossing or semi-glossing the mask?

DarthTrafford · Oct 19, 2009

All I know is,that when I took pics of his face straight on,the pics came out all whited out,there was no detail in the face just a white flash.

:chew

I haven't tried painting the mask... but I've thought about it. A bit of gloss might add some interest. Maybe even dirty him up a bit like EvilFace's avatar.

Sorry for dredging up an old thread, but didn't want to start a new one. Had a read through and seems no one has tried (or posted pictures of) attempts to put real hair on V.

Heres my attempt:

Bought this Obitsu head off of eBay:

https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300367778486&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

So, I trimmed the hair, and then scalped him:

Then scalped V :chew really easy to do, two separate pieces and it peeled off without hassle.

Glued the plastic scalp onto the V's head (probably don't have to do this, as the force of the hat on his head keeps the hair on nicely too).

Bobs your uncle, my new V! He's on a TT Caucasian, and has Medicom Vaders gloves on, as they fit perfectly over the sleeves.

Hope this helps some people who were unsure about doing it, this was my first "custom" per se', so if I can do it, anyone can.

I like it... came out looking great! Now swap out those boots :lecture

Devil_666 · Jan 19, 2010

Great mod. Looks better now. I agree about the boots too, they need to go.

MateriaHunter · Jan 19, 2010

Haha, thanks.

I did buy some other black boots, but the zips onthe back broke, couldn't take the size of the legs and the outfit. What has everyone else used?

galactiboy · Jan 19, 2010

Did you swap the body as well... or is it the original DCD body? I first used DiD boots on mine, then ended up with a pair of ToyCity. But those are on a HT body, not sure if they will work with the original DCD as the proportions are a bit different.

So he's good to go.

Cloud · Jan 19, 2010

Wow, he looks great Devil! (There's two Devils here...I'm gonna have to start writing the whole screen name.)

EDIT: Oh, sorry, it was MateriaHunter who posted that awesome V. Great job!

Might have a look for some now on ebay :lol

Thanks all!

Here's the boots I used... I like them as they were all black, whereas a number of the DiD ones have silver accents, and these were fairly cheap at $8:

Jack boots at Monkey Depot

lerath666 · Jan 20, 2010

thi is gonna sound odd, but can i ask you about the body the hair came on?
I'm looking for a replacement skinny tall body for Medicom Light and L, and i was wondering how that obitsu body measured up.

lerath666 · Jan 20, 2010

I'm nan r-tard, i just noticed that it says Body not included.

mjordan23 · Jan 21, 2010
