Medi + DX = Medix :: [Medix 2.0 Batman p.72]

Re: Medi + DX = Medix

Good answer Platty!


The only thing Hot Toys in those pics is the torso. Everything else is Medicom.


Here's hoping a future TDKR Batman will look somewhere near that good,

But the chest and shoulder plates as well as the belt, gun possibly even the neck are DX , not?

Neck isn't

Chest, torso, belt and gun are DX

Any of you guys know what/how to do the so called "widening" on the medi head?

Apparently the best way to do it is to heat up the head with a hair dryer, pinch it top to bottom, so it gets wider horizontally until you achieve the desired shape, and then cool it down while holding it in position. It should keep it's new shape.

I have not done it myself (left it for seb to do) so that's all the advice I have on it i'm afraid... I'm sure Thrust or anyone else who's done it can chip in.

I would so not have the patience for that. Any time I've tried to correct something by the heating and cooling method it doesn't work, the thing just reverts to its wonky state. Possibly because I don't take enough time at it.

Is the difference that significant though?

also, is this method only workable with the medi head? What bout HT head?

I did notice that the medi head feels lighter and hollow, compared to the the HT head.

WOn't work with the hot toys head, once widdened the medi head has a better and more accurate likeness.

Heating and cooling just won't work for me, head gets back at his normal form.

WHat i did is heat the head, shape it and stuff it using two tone apoxy sculpt.

Just push the head with your fingers and see for yourself - IMO the difference is massive in terms of accuracy and realism. Stock it looks way too thin IMO

wow, thanks!

I see what you did there, Seb. Looks like a lot of work

Yeah, after seeing pics, it does look different. Looks soo much better!

Re: Medi + DX = Medix

what i did was put it on a HT advanced neck, shaved the obama head it came with and stuck it in my medi head.

works like a charm... but then again the body i have it in is a frankenstein body..

Re: Medi + DX = Medix

Ven that is a genius way to do it! haha

Re: Medi + DX = Medix

What do you mean by 'shave' the obama head, ven

Any pics of what the obama head looks now.

After playing and futzing it further, I think the ideal body for this is still the medicom, as opposed to the HT slim.

i'll post some pics of the head, but i think the ideal body is a shaved down TT with medicom arms.. which is what mine is on.

How'd you combine those arms with the TT body

and by TT body, you are talking bout the slim ones right?
