No problem. It likely took you quite a bit of time, coin and effort to get your DX12 to look like that, but it was well worth it.

Thanks, man! Yeah, it was daunting in the beginning when you realize you're about
to cut open/apart an expensive figure. But, the more you do it, the less
apprehensive you get. Luckily, it's usually worked out.
It takes courage and a steady hand.



irok84, that's an interesting mod. No doubt, your Batman looks jacked now!
Those are great pics for comparisons.

How were you able to switch bodies? And which version is better suit wise, dx12 or armory?

Finally had some free time and modified and changed the body on my DX12. IMO the body HT used was too scrawny and short. So I swapped it out for a Muscular ZC Toys body. Here's the results. Hope y'all like it.

I love how that turned out! You don't happen to have a pic of the two figures - from the front and in full - do you?

Aren't they pretty much identical?

This is the only picture I have right after the mod. I didn't have time to fix it or pose it properly. Since I did this while the kidos took their two hour naps. The left is modded one and right is un-un-moded DX12.



Pictures don't do it justice. With the body mod he's taller and beefed up. The figure also has a V shape to it as well. Not the pudgy look anymore.

Thanks for the pic, that looks excellent. That's not a stock mouthplate, is it?

I had to unglued the back of the shoulder pads and once that was removed I cut along the sewed areas on the back. Left and right. I then smoothly pulled down the suit making sure to not over stress the thigh area. You don't want to stretch the padding of the armor. Also the thighs are glued in place of the stock body.

Oh and both are DX12 figured boardie.



You can't really tell from then pic but the Muscular body is taller and will give the suit a V shape once you fix it to your liking.

Nope. It's the one that comes with Choi Ben's Custom cowl.

Would you take commissions on doing this? Lol

That mod looks great. So much better then the original. I would be too afraid to cut the suit though

Seconded.

A lot of these mods are phenomenal. I would be too reluctant to do anything that involves cutting though. Regardless, I'm one who tends to leave my figures as stock as possible anyway.

For those asking about the mod. There's one thing that I must tell you. The back portion of the chest/shoulder pads will no longer be connected due to the cheat being wider. However you won't be able to see it since the cape will be draping over it.

Here's a Photo.

Picked up a mint DX12 off ebay, and he arrived over the weekend. I had been content with my DX02, but I came across a listing starting at $200 with no bidders, so I decided to give it a shot. Surprisingly, I won it for $222.50 with only one other last-second bidder. My only complaint is the PERS, as the sculpt is slightly cross-eyed. As I have my DX02 displayed with the sonar head, I'm using the DX02 PERS head for the DX12.

If your not bothered about modding your figures, with a bit of work you can take out the piece that moves both eyes simultaneously so that eye is movable on it's own, much like the 1/4 version. Mine was the same and i did that along with painting the eyelids.

Thanks for the tip. I was already contemplating trying to fix it - good to know it can be done without too much trouble. I think the 1/6 Hulk also has the eyes that move independently. I'll check mine out and do a comparison.

Thanks again for the tip - I did the mod last night without any problems. Looks much better now.
