1/6 Hot Toys MMS200 - Man of Steel: Superman Collectible Figure

[Pro Design]

looks great kind of surprised that the legs don't look overly short. that was always my concern

thx! yea i wasn't sure either... but after doing the mod, to me, it looks right and now when i look at the old version he seems to have way long legs. so for what i wanted, the new pegs were exactly what i needed!

The cape seems a little long after mod

doesn't bother me draping down a little... don't feel it does anything to hurt the look and to me looks a little more natural.

I decided to do additional mods to my MOS. I had already done the cape and neck mod when I first got it. So I picked up one of the BVS sculpts off eBay. Also I wanted to do something to fix the height.

MOS stock height next to Dx12




So what I did was design a new set of pegs for the legs/feet to shorten the figure a little over 7 mm.

New pegs next to originals



And that was the ticket! Really made a massive amount of difference in the height. Proportionally looks a lot better and a decent amount shorter.


New height w new pegs

Is that the official BVS Hot Toys sculpt or a custom? I ordered a red eye sculpt for my MOS figure from ebay but might get this regular one to.

Now I see your modified version his legs do look weirdly out of proportion on my stock figure. I plan to stand him with the Armoured Batman when I get it, the extra height might stand out a little less against a huge figure like that.

it was a custom head from one of the china sellers on ebay. paid like $22 shipped i think. the quality is carbon copy of the stock.

yeah until you see it w/ the new pegs you don't notice it... but now seeing mine with the shortened pegs, the stock ones are the culprit of this being a giant in my opinon.... as with the shortened pegs he now stands where he should in my eyes. first saw some height difference w/ barry's (username) figures he was customizing. he changed out the body which to me looked like it was shortened legs helped the height issue. so with the new pegs it brings his legs down to a more normal length.

The quality of that sculpt looks great, definitely gonna pick up one of those on ebay now.

Your's looks pretty perfect now with that sculpt and better proportions. Will have a look round for shortened pegs...not gonna attempt making my own, with my DIY skills would end very badly

yeah i am totally pleased w/ the sculpt... top notch for the $22 i paid.

i've had several ask for a set, so i'm going to make a run of the pegs for people who want some. so just shoot me a PM if you want a new set. $7.95 shipped w/ tracking in a bubble mailer.

I shipped everyone's pegs by the way. They all went out this morning.

Here is a better picture in normal lighting.

Amazing what a difference those few millimetres make. Looking forward to having mine in the in the right proportion to. Is that the Tony Mei cape?

 

[Pro Design]

Yeah it was the first round he did a couple years back.

I got mine from ebay with the collar mod and Tony Mei cape already done. Love the cape compared to the stock one but I can never seem to get those folds right where it attaches.

 

[fatmarco]

Hey does anyone know what kind of pins are used with the Tony Mei cape? I have the Mei cape but not the pins is all.

After buying all the bvs figs I'm gonna let go of this and get the bvs version.

Picked this guy up at my local comic shop yesterday for a great deal. Such an amazing figure. Not sure if I'll do the cape mod or not. I've never done any mods before.

Nice score. He's a great figure, in some ways better than the latest BvS Supes. I think this guy has better articulation and his arms sit better at his sides for a more natural look. How much did you get him for?

If you've never done any mods, it might be best to send it to someone who can do them for you, or just leave it alone. A lot of the mods that people do to this one seem to require a skilled hand.

 

[jffhdgs345]

Thanks! I got him for about $40 bucks with some trade in. And that's a good idea about sending it to someone to do the mods. Excited to pair him up with BvS Batman when he arrives next week.

Nice pic!! Congrats on the purchase too, he is a fantastic figure!

I have a question. I ordered a BvS head sculpt to swap out from time to time on this figure. I have never taken off a head. How easy is it to do? Any suggestions would be awesome. I'm nervous about doing it.

Just pull it off. It'll pop off without too much force and you can pop it back on easily afterwards.
