MEDICOM 12" VADER EP IV EXTENDER MOD

[Ven]

that was just pure genius scarlet... I also did some modifycations to my Batman.. on on the head... I thickened the neck and heightened it..

 

[Scarlet]

Damn bro. Clever.

 

[nash]

I don't know which to look at, the batman or the handsome guy in the background :chew

 

[Xander]

Definitely something to really consider. In the end I'll most likely flip a coin.

A funny side note to this, I get my Medicom Venom in the mail today and I"m slightly miffed at how tall he is. So I roll up the leggings and slip of the "boots" and sure enough EXTENDERS! So he's gonna pick up about a 1/2 inch. Already did one using a pen, this is really a great thread!!!:maul

Yeah I can understand your predicament. But I think both have pros and cons of their own.

ROTS is pretty cheap compared to the ROTJ version but if you can spare another $30, I recommend ROTJ.
IT'S ROTJ MAN

Here's some pro's of each version.

ROTJ
Flippers to fit the gloves
Seb Shaw Headsculpt
More accurate costume than ROTS
Belt clip to hang lightsaber hilt

ROTS
Glued on chest panel
MORE gloves
...... errr cheaper?

That's all that I can of.

Also, there's a rumour that the ROTS version is taller. Nope, not true. Both are equal in height.

i heard that the ROTS has a bit better artic? that true? it did come out after the ROTJ version. and why the hell doesn't the Sith version have flippers?! hands're tough to keep on.

 

[Scarlet]

Talking bout Venom, I had hhim extended too.
He was slightly taller than Wolvie but I added extenders on em and swapped boots with the medi Symbiote spider.

Note that I've shortened Symbiote Spidey.

Not sure bout the artic but i'm stumped as you why they didnt include the flippers for the ROTS version.

Daaaamn Scarlet, I never get tired of seeing those pics.

Im homage to you and MIB pivitol scene, "you know what the difference between me and you is? I make this look Gooooood"

That's really cool! I'm thinking of bulkingup his lower torso as it rivals vintage He-Man figures in comparisson. But that's really neat! I wish Venom came with an Eddie Brock head instead of the "unleashed" one we got, but small potatoes. Man I'm dying for my Symbiote Spiderman to get here!!!

Can anyone point in the direction of Les's heel lift trick? Or tell me what I need to do?

 

[Scarlet]

LOL Chad, thanks.

Bulking his lower torso eh. The waist? It can't be done. you'd have to unfasten the seams at the side of Venom and there's no way of stitchin him back up.

About the alternate headsculpt. We've discussed plenty of time at the Medi World site that Medicom should had included and half eddie half Venom headsculpt rather the one they went with.
Also I'd take a Cletus Kassidy with an insane grin alternate head.

 

[Ven]

me and scarlet has mentioned the extenders so many times before.. Its strange how everybody notices it now.


nash - haha that wasn't a recent picture, its a few months old... I don't have my hair anymore.. haha and plus.. I grew!! 5'9 now!!

now that's how Venom shoulda looked! awesome!

i agree! an album would only further the ass-kickery.

hell all of the customizers here should do that...make an online album so all of us mere peasants can gaze upon your incredible work.

thoughts?

I know it's a bit late in the thread to mention this but..

See my boring-ass sig.

 

[nash]

Thanks, Nash. Now if only I had a BANNER that would make a good link. Maybe there should be a CONTEST or something...

I thought this was going to be like a 10 post tutorial thread...

Mod figs look great, so glad everyone benefits from it!

 

[Scarlet]

10 posts? hehe.

Anyways, here's some pics with better lighting and background.

 

[pjam]
