Yes the thighs are the main issue. Do not match at all. Ive been customizing for years and id always swap out the tighs. Immediately makes a world of difference
Yeah it would interesting to talk to one of the sculptors at McFarlane just to mention the proportions thing. I wonder if he has in-house sculptors or if he hires freelance 3D artists. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing. I just did the hip peg mod on my Martian Manhunter. That along with a couple of other mods I did he is now the tallest member of my JL.
You did a great job, looks much better! I agree about short upper legs/thighs. Page Puncher/Classic light blue Superman has pretty muscular thighs that could work but will need paint, I wish McFarlane themselves would mix those parts and give us well proportioned Superman for once.
It took them a few tries to finally nail down Batman with the Hush mold and then the Knightfall figure. Eventually they'll figure out a definitive Superman. Thanks for watching!
The leg extension for sure; the neck peg has to fit, the McFarlane pieces aren't all universal so you have to have the right one. The torso depends, split the figure and see if it has a similar one to how I explain in the video. Thanks for watching!
I actually did something similar to my rebirth Batman’s torso. I took the peg from superboy prime. It actually ended up being too long so I trimmed it down. His torso looks more proportionate now.
I have never done them but have seen others do them. Just warm the pegs and split them apart when the plastic gets soft. Either with a Dremel or an x-acto cut the ratchets. My fear with this mod is if the pegs arent tight to begin with then you'll have loose ankles and your figure will have a hard time staying upright.
Im not 100% sure but I took it from the Last Knight on Earth Wonder Woman (Mohawk WW) but that figure had been customized so I don't know if I kept the original neck peg or swapped from another figure.
It was from the mohawk Wonder Woman (Last Knight on Earth?) But I did a bunch of customizing on that figure as well that I'm not 100% sure the peg was from that figure to begin with. Thanks for watching!
I see the Three Jokers Batman is your favorite buck to dissect. 😂 Can't deny it's a good sculpt and proportions are good. Edit: Can you just put something inside those sockets instead of putting back the pegs anxiously?
At the time the Three Jokers was the best basic Batman figure but I only got two; the Hush mold is similar but I like it better overall. Those I do have each version but only one of each, only because they're harder to find. Thanks for watching!
And yes you could put something inside the socket to prevent the plugs from sinking further. I would just make sure it's reversible in case you change your mind about the mods.
The problem with that figure is that the legs and arms are too short and thin for the body. To increase the height to a figure with that mold and not look disproportionate, what I did was to give my Superman Rebiert figure the arms, legs and breeches of the Superman DKR having my version of a big and imposing Superman.
Yeah it's a figure that wasn't quite planned out too well. Honestly I'm not the biggest Superman fan but I am a Jim Lee fan, so I wanted a version of his Superman. The Mafex was sold out so this was my only alternative. Thanks for watching!
It was either the Last Knight on Earth Wonder Woman or the Dark Knights Metal Wonder Woman. I had done some swapping of part and I think the neck peg from one if these was the one I used. Thanks for watching!
Well, if you did buy McFarlane then they would be (sorta) in scale with each other lol. But i understand what you mean, they dont fit in with Hasbro Marvel Legends and other 6" figures. But lots of other lines don't all scale with each other, much like when most of these popular lines released in the 80s. MOTU was 5.5", Kenner Star Wars and GI Joe were 3.75", Transformers was all over the place. Thanks for watching!
@erickshobbiesncustoms5775 Yeah..I've Bought the Bigger McFarlanes Like Bane, ClayFace, Croc, Mongol, Sabbat, etc. because they're supposed to be Bigger , but as far as the others I don't mess with since I Collect Mezco, S.H. Figuarts, D.C. Essentials, etc 😎
In this case Superman needed the height extension. Traditionally Superman and Batman have always been shown to be about equal height. Thanks for watching! 😉
Looks much better proportionally. Thanks for the tutorial.
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
Nice tips dude ive done the neck but will definitely give this ago 👍
Awesome! Thanks for watching!

Good shout! Cheers fella 😊
Thanks for watching!
Clever. I added height to my 2-pack Superman (from the Ultraman pack) by doing the neck peg swap and swapped pelvis’s to one with a longer peg.
It's weird how McFarlane did these Superman bucks. Thanks for watching!

This really helpful! I wonder if you can do this to the Zach Snyder’s Justice League Batman. He’s so short.

Excellent! Thanks for watching!
if I'm not mistaken that three jokers Batman torso peg fits in the hush superman and it's already longer!
It vaguely sounds familiar so it may be true. Thanks for watching!
Looks amazing. What torso peg did you use?
I didn't switch it. It's the same one from the figure. I explain in the video how to adjust it. Thanks for watching!
@@erickshobbiesncustoms5775 got it. Thank you.
“No parts were swapped😂 then saying “swap the neck part” 😂
LOL I cought that during editing. Usually I poke fun at myself and add pop up notes but forgot that one. Thanks for watching!
Would you know of any mods to remove ratchets on ankles and make them more stable?
I have never done them but have seen others do them. Just warm the pegs and split them apart when the plastic gets soft. Either with a Dremel or an x-acto cut the ratchets. My fear with this mod is if the pegs arent tight to begin with then you'll have loose ankles and your figure will have a hard time staying upright.
May I know what figure neck peg you use to swap?
Im not 100% sure but I took it from the Last Knight on Earth Wonder Woman (Mohawk WW) but that figure had been customized so I don't know if I kept the original neck peg or swapped from another figure.
What figure did you get the longer neck peg from?
It was from the mohawk Wonder Woman (Last Knight on Earth?) But I did a bunch of customizing on that figure as well that I'm not 100% sure the peg was from that figure to begin with. Thanks for watching!

@@erickshobbiesncustoms5775 I see. I'm trying to modify mine as well so it's good to watch some tutorials like this first. Thanks!
@@pangalanapilyedo3225 no problem!

@@erickshobbiesncustoms5775 For the 7 inch scale I must do what I can with figures in that scale. the Mafex would not fit the figures I have.
What neck peg did you use ???
It was either the Last Knight on Earth Wonder Woman or the Dark Knights Metal Wonder Woman. I had done some swapping of part and I think the neck peg from one if these was the one I used. Thanks for watching!
I Don’t buy McFarlane because of their Overscaling 🤔

Do you always say "Thanks for watching!" on everyones comment? 😅
If they're taking time to watch my videos it's the least I can do.
Dont you batman is too damn tall and superman was already fine like making mcfarlane figs taller is extremely hilarious 😂
In this case Superman needed the height extension. Traditionally Superman and Batman have always been shown to be about equal height. Thanks for watching! 😉
@@erickshobbiesncustoms5775 np
You should have just left it alone
I disagree. The mods were definitely needed for this figure to scale better with the rest of the line. Thanks for watching!
