1/6 Hot Toys 1/6 Captain Marvel

[The Buffinator]

The only thing they provided was a clear plastic thing. But it needs a phillips head for the tiny screws. No screwdriver was provided.

A set like this with a few different sizes & magnetic tips would be useful to have on hand. The smallest Phillips would work for CM's arms, while the larger ones would work on other battery compartments as well as the screw for the clamp on flexible stands.

Srsly get your own set as suggested. HT is nice to provide but honestly its a cheap thing, better to have your own.

Sigh, according to Timewalker I still got a few more weeks until I get my deluxe version.

Thanks for the update. I was wondering about my order from them recently.

So, my Captain Marvel arrived today and I am very happy about this figure!

In so many pictures I have seen I this forum of this figure I really liked the overall look of the figure except her size relative to other figures, she just appeared to be too short. So I decided to copy The Buffinator and add ankle extensions to add some height. I went with one size smaller than he did but I am extremely happy with the result.

Below I will post pictures of Captain Marvel next to Captain America (CW) for comparison:

First two pictures without extenders , the third and fourth pictures she has the extenders. The difference is not huge but it is noticeable, so now she seems to be more of an appropriate height as she appeared in the movie.

 

[davejames]

Yup it really makes a world of difference.

Thanks davejames, I’m glad others can see it as well. I think she is about the right height now and won’t tinker with it anymore. Only thing left now is to find a good way to tighten up the ankles because they are loose.

Wow, those ankle extenders really make a world of difference!

I just cut two little cloth pieces from an old cotton t-shirt (about 1/2" squares) and laid them over the extenders before pushing in the ball joints. Worked like a charm. The upper portions of her boots cover up their existence nicely.

I'm glad you're happy with her!

Thanks Buffinator, I will try that!!!

Using a small piece of cloth over the extenders then pushing in the ball joints was a really simply but very effective solution to loose ankles!
Her ankles are very firm now, so she stands up very securely now, thanks so much Buffinator!!!!

I've also seen cutting a small piece of thin rubber band and placing in a joint has the same effect. It squishes to the right shape and has good friction properties to stiffen the joint too.

You're welcome!

Wow, that seems like a good idea also Hoody!

I don't have her standing, so her height's irrelevant, but cool mod.

Sorry if it was mentioned earlier, but what?s causing the huge delay on this figure? I ordered the deluxe version from Sideshow.
