Medicom Bruce Wayne

I totally forgot you had this Gipetto.

Where did you get yours and how much? I'm thinking of getting one now and thinning the head.

his head isn't wide in hand you guys. that's just camera distortion. in hand he looks like he was in The Machinist...that's actually the one thing that bugs me (besides the neck) is that his head looks too skinny and boney

good to hear! i can't wait to get this guy in the mail.. Is the suit big? what kinds of bodies do you think it can fit?

I got mine at a comic shop by my house on close-out price for only $40, compared to the $180 it was when they first got it in

no the suit is sort of fit to the figure(well the upper parts at least, the pants and shoesare pretty big though), but from what I can tell, he's on the same body as the Medi TDK Batman, so I assume that maybe Slim TT will do? I've never had just a spare HT body so I don't know for sure

 

[Gipetto0812]

I know! i never have that kind of luck! so when I saw it, I had to jump on it! I just hope to get to repainting it soon, but The Spirit is fist in line with a resculpt as well

I got mine from a boardie a few months ago for $40ish I think (maybe lower) and now he is being repainted.

I'm as big of a Medi-bash as anyone, but I have to admit their sculpts do have potential. They just have HORRIBLE factory paint.

 

[Gipetto0812]

agreed, factory paint does suck, but with the right talent, once repainted, they can look amazing

Damn $40 is SUPER value for this - the clothes do look nice, I do wonder what they would look like on a HT body though...

I wonder if it'll fit a narrow.. but most likely only fit a slim.

 

[intothevoid]

I got the same feeling buddy

 

[gotham_collector87]

The repaint on this makes a huge difference its almost right on the money.

 

[EdwardNashton1]

This figure is worth $40 and nothing more.

 

[Buttmunch]

You think that about every figure though

 

[EdwardNashton1]

hmmm.......no.

 

[Gipetto0812]

This figure is worth $40 and nothing more.

I'd say about $70 or $80...the tailoring of the suit alone is worth $40, the head $15-$20, and the body like $10-$15 since it is a pretty nice body in line with HT figs

That's a more realistic value for sure

 

[EdwardNashton1]

The medicom bodies are crap. The only thing of use to me is the head, because the clothing is too small for the HT bodies probably. He's also probably a shrimp.

 

[intothevoid]

Well - have you tried fitting the Wayne clothing on a narrow or slim TT?

 

[EdwardNashton1]

Well I don't have it yet, but I don't really want to pay $80 for it.

I would have just tried putting it on a narrow shoulder TT.

 

[intothevoid]

So you're just guessing it won't fit and that the value therefore should be $40

I'd wager the clothing would just about fit a narrow - would love to see someone who has it give it a try. Of course i'm also guessing

 

[Gipetto0812]

the whole thing about the medicom bodies I think is a matter of opinion, which I understand Ed that since you're TDK bat's snapped in half, you hold a bit of resentment towards the medi bodies, but for me, as much as I've messed with the 2 medi figs I have, they have still yet to break (knock on wood)...idk, IMO I would've payed the $90-$100 that is goes for about now, b/c to me it's a really nice figure.

void, when I get a chance to buy and put it on a new body, i'll post some pics, but that won't be for a long while as this project isn't at the top of my to do list.

but, I would just put a new neck on it and leave it on the medi body. I mean there aren't very many dynamic poses you can put this guy in. If it were clark kent, that's a different story. but Bruce wayne, I mean pretty much all you got is a straight up hands in pockets pose so I see no reason for a "better" body
