I'll post photos when I get a chance. Sadly due to the heat in California the neck area where the cowl turns has rubbed/scratched off and the HT mouth plates have gotten black paint around it almost like a beard. I think I can fix it with an airbrush but I'll have to get one later. For now minimal movement or even I can just switch it back to the HT neck for now.
Was it difficult to do the mods?
With the cost of the figure, and what looks to be pretty high 3rd-party modifications costs, I'm pretty sure they can beat it in quality and pricing.
The chest assembly is free floating and only held on because of the straps that go under the armpits. It's unlikely you would damage a stock one by futzing the chest piece around in any way.
I hope they do too. Even if they get everything 99% right and the cowl is just a direct shrink of the 1/3 statue it’s still a much better starting place than the DX19. I think a well done custom will feel just as solid as a stock figure but everyone isn’t comfortable slicing and dicing and shouldn’t have to replace literally everything above the collar to get an accurate figure.
It's actually easy, get strong plyers (it should be a bit thinner then the usual ones) and just grab the eyes inside the cowl, between the base of the eyeball and just pull. It pops off easily then just use the plastic wrench thing the figure comes with that is used to move the eyes, and pop them into the sockets of the cowl.
I've got to make space to display a DX19 standing with the Batpod. This shot is how we all thought our repainted Medicom Cowls looked over the years
You can sell InArt your work then just get paid royalties on each figure they make.
I’d be happy to work with them so they can say it’s based on the screen used cowl too but I doubt they will reach out.
Ah yeah. They probably wont but you can though. You never know. It looks like you have the talent to do the work.
