just need to sew up the back of the suit and hes done
 
Great job (as always). Your Captain Mar, oops, err... Shazam looks fantastic :clap
Looking forward to the Hot Toys version.
 
cheers alan ,well i finished them off

swapped out the suit for a slightly darker and tighter fitting suit on the light and sound version
and finished of the tru moves version ,used a different body type due to the size of the ebay bought suit ,couple of pictures with 70s tv version of shazam

Great work!!!! Would you be willing to share a break down of what you used...like where did you find that belt?

sure no worries
movie shazams everything is pretty much from the mattel figures

cuffs
boots
belts
chest emblems

ebay body suits

the light and sound figures cuffs and boots are cast separate but are still tricky to remove and still need a fair bit of dremeling , the true moves are a lot more work as you have to shape the boot tops as well as hollow them out

added wrists and hands to the light and sound version ,but left stock hand on the true moves

belts both separate at the sides ,heat up and gently locate split seam and use a thin flat head screwdriver to pry them apart and off ,id remove the back first so any damage will not show so much



will need dremeling flat to fit a figure ,that's about it ,other than cut a cape ,

the tv shazam ,generic head that came with hot toys nude bodies with the hair resculpted ,belt is a strip off a door fly curtain lol red suit ,adam west boot with added tops on a wolverine clone body
done ,
a bit dremel intensive but worth a shot i think
 
LIBBY - that's pretty good! A worthy custom, that's about good enough to where you saved yourself a lot of money if you don't want to spend Hot Toys price.

You're right about the Dremel, sometimes you have to bust that thing out and bore out plastic, but when it pays off.....great feeling!
 
cheers mate ,yeah its always worth a shot trying the mattel movie products to harvest parts for customs

working on a dr sivana at the moment

libby - could you give me the ebay link that you buy your super suits from?

sure no problem
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Custom-D...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

they had them in gray ,blue and red ,the red i got was not as stretchy are the others but would fit a tru type of size body ,but probably not a bane clone type of body , the second shazam made from the $10 figure has the red suit on , the blue and gray were super stretchy

and i got some off poison harley ,spider bro on here i think ,nice suits ,but not overly fond of the method of closure ,stick on velcro ,but easy enough to sew them up
