Hot toys Batman 66 and Superman 78....

Can anyone tell me if there's a better body that will fit for Hot Toys Batman 66 (Adam West) and Superman 78 (Chris Reeve) ?

For Reeve, I think some have put him on a Phicen/TBLeague M31. As for Batman 66, I'm looking to try to use a HT Boba Fett body (from the Mandalorian versions) to replace the one it came with. Just waiting for it to arrive to test out the theory

Thanks for the info brother...If possible keep me informed.

The HT Boba body should look better overall, but the chest will be a little high. Adam west is a tricky one. He’s got that odd rib cage that peaks over his utility belt. I’ve done a several body modifications, but this is the one I’m most satisfied with.
-Enterbay MIB chest rig with overlay. Neck peg modified to fit.
-HT Mondo Boba Fett thighs and waist and arms. Inner waist ring modified to fit Enterbay chest rig.
-Generic (HT like) shins and ankle pegs. Lower knee joint replaced to fit shins on to upper HT joint.
-Belt cut in back as it needs to be tightened.
-Trunks sewn in back for a better fit.
-Tony Mei suit and cape
Robin is:
-HT Robin upper body with Bespin Luke padding (leg padding cut off).
-VTS/DAM Toys legs with short ankle pegs.

Awesome work on both! I've frankensteined a lot of bodies myself I'm just being lazy on this set as I'm not sure I'm going to keep them. Don't want to do all that work just to sell them off later. Most ppl prefer them as is instead of modified even if they look better, at least in my experience.

That said, I figured the chest would be too high on the Boba body, but was going to tackle that with foam padding to reshape the chest instead of switching out the chestpiece all together.

Wish I would've thought about the Robin mods before I put mine back together. I have a DamToys body and Bespin Luke padding but instead just doubled up on the leggings since I had one damaged pair and one replacement pair. If I decide to keep the set, I may go back and do those mods to him.

sorry for bumping this old thread but how did you modify the neck peg to make it fit?

I don’t remember. There might be a pic in my original mod post. Usually I have to dremel/shave down certain parts or add on (like foam or shrink tubing).
Edit:
I used a SSC Prometheus Neck Joint here. It's longer and solves the problem of Batman's Neck popping out every time you give it a more extreme pose. This would also work if you just wanted to change out the Neck Peg on your HT body.
