DCD 13" V, V for Vendetta

which true type did you use? slim, narrow???

Just like "The Bachelor"

The regular kind with giant shoulders... it was the recent Caucasian with the Tom Cruise head.

The slim would definitely be too short, and I think the narrow would not fill out the jacket enough.

giant shoulders lol

Not a huge update, but I got him his own set of boots and can now call him good. Will probably weather him at some point, but for now I'm really happy with how he turned out

looks great man

 

[MANDO]

That does look really cool. Damn if he isn't tempting as hell now! Thanks, GB!

 

[galactiboy]

Happy to oblige

Doesn't seem like HT is going to make a V figure, and honestly DCD did a pretty good job. So, this is a good compromise.

 

[metaphorge]

Now if only you could make swaps to Hot Toys bodies that easily for the REST of DC Direct's figures... the rest of my collection is laughing at Harley Quinn and the Joker and the Sandman....

 

[galactiboy]

No doubt... there are a lot of DC characters I'd like to own in 1/6.

 

[EVILFACE]

Looking good. I still think real hair would set that figure off.

 

[galactiboy]

Yeah, but I'm too lazy to undertake that one. I remember Les did a Napoleon figure with straight hair... something like that would be killer.

In general the DCD accessories are okay. Definitely not as nice as HT or SS, but not Hasbro quality either.

 

[MANDO]

Although I really dig GB's mod as-is I too would be curious to see what real hair would look like. Definitely a back burner project for me but I doubt V is ever going to be hard to find.

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).

 

[galactiboy]

Yeah, the smaller sized body from DCD is a bit taller than a TrueType, but not by much and about as broad in the shoulders. So the swap can be done... but there are some rough parts. I imagine it would be worse if you were using a tight fitting costume.

But you're pretty much out of luck if trying a conversion on one of the giant 13" figures.

 

[samueljd]

True, the heads are a bit larger than the standard 1/6 scale for the giant 13" bodies.

Looks great man... did you use the same formula?

 

[DarthTrafford]

Has anyone posed him with a Natalie Portman figure yet?
Say a Snow Bunny Padme figure custom?
I'd like to see that.
:chew

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.
