Okay, might give it a try. Can I see this heavily modified MoS Superman? Why BvS boots?I didn’t have that problemas long as you futz with the fabric properly, it’ll go back into place once you put the toes back in a standard position and you still won’t have the wrinkle. I’ve done this for both BvS and a heavily modified MoS Superman with BvS boots.
Sure thing, I’ll post some pics later.
This detail: I just removed the top trim detail from the BvS boots and replaced with the top trim from the MoS boots.
I’ve done other mods besides the boots, but here are a few pictures that I still have of it; though, keep in mind, I don’t take great photos which is why I rarely post any
Oh wow, he looks great! Those boots are in improvement!
I was thinking maybe a Cavill Clark Kent could be kit bashed using the additional headsculpt.
Thanks.
) so I had to spend a little extra on the Mr. Color dark red metallic and that worked out.While I agree that Knightmare Batman is the star of this set, I'm actually quite impressed with the Black Suit Superman even though I wasn't when it was first revealed. Of course, the lack of changing the hair is still a downer, I like the small improvements they've made over the original release.
I think Justin's idea that the less weathering is b/c it could be from earlier in the timeline is just his salesmanship trying to make it ok that that there’s less weathering than before so ppl will be like "yea, Justin that makes total sense!" and not complain about it.
Good stuff. What blue did you use? It looks fantastic, nice work my friend.Thanks.
It wasn't really a pain to repaint the suit a darker blue to be honest, just have to be patient. I used watered down acrylic btw. The only real pain was getting the metallic red on the chest how I wanted it as there's a lot of metallic red on the market, but they tend to have a bit of a pinkish hue (at least for the cheap stuff
But yes, there are thigh enhancers on the BvS body just like the JL body. The Mos body is the only one that doesn't have the large thigh enhancers or forearm enhancers.

It sort of reminds me of the scene in the first Transformers movie where Shia LeBouf is buying the Camaro from Bernie Mac.
Bernie Mac: "Well, due to the semi classic nature, slick wheels and custom paint...$5 grand"
Shia LeBouf: "yea, but that paint's faded."
Bernie Mac: "Yea, but it's custom."
Shia LeBouf: "You mean it's custom faded?"
Bernie Mac: "It's your first car, I can't expect you to understand"
As much as I appreciate Justin's reviews, as he does give good views of the figure and accessories most of the time as well as comparisons, he's definitely a salesman, no question about it.
A pinkish hue? George Costanza would be very proud lol. Gotta admit you're tempting me to go back in and mod again.Thanks.

Thanks. I didn't use a specific blue. Just mixed whatever blue I have that's already on the darker side and added a bit of black to make it darker. I did this custom about 4 years ago now (maybe more) so I can't tell you the specifics on how much of one or the other. Just have to go with whatever looks right to you.
Hard to know these days. Some figures have been shipping here in the US from sideshow just a week or 2 after release in HK (like DX19 Batman, Snow Speeder Luke and Iron man Mark V reissue) and others still take a month or more.
I feel they typically average two to three months from Hong Kong release until they start shipping to the US…Golden Armor Wonder Woman Deluxe and BOP Harley Quinn seemed to both be in that range…
I'm in the same boat.
