i had to make a 4 cuts at the top of the rubber neck, so then you can spread them a little bit further, making the HOLE OF THE NECK just a tad bigger, that way the magnets can go in.

i know, i could have slipped the neck on with the magnets laying on top of the TT neck, i don't remember why i didn't do that. there was a reason, but i forgot...i did this mod a few months ago.

and it wasn't easy. in theory it was, but then you had to sand down the TT neck, trial and error to make sure the length of the neck was right and so forth.

but i definitely like the final result. kinda makes me wish HT went with the rubber neck with magnet inside.

I'm not following...

sorry it's kind of hard to describe unless you have the actual pieces in front of you.

i'd take pics, but i'm back in the states now and won't be going back to china until the end of the month.

here is a really rough diagram

____
[{ }] ---- magnet
[{ }]----- magnet
[| |] ------ TT neck
[| |] ------ TT neck
-------
the top of the rubber neck is a small opening. i made a cross shape cut so the hole can open wider.

Couple of days ago. It was starting to drive me batty.

Just snagged the last one off Entertainment Earth for 190 shipped. Are they guaranteed to have the DCD version, without extra oil?

Yes, but how are the magnets fitting inside the rubber neck AND the TT neck? I'm not sure how big the magnets are, but there is very little space between the top of the TT neck and the opening of the rubber jeck on the one I have sitting on my shelf. (waiting for a DX body)

the magnets aren't that big. if i remember correctly, there are a total of 3 (i broke open the DX neck for the magnets). 2 small and one that's a little bit smaller than a US quarter. all really thin too. all i used were 2 magnets. you just gotta try and figure out which ones fit best. because, again, if i remember correctly, i sanded the crap out of the TT neck, top and sides.

@Mirakle: When it wasn´t described in the detailed part you´ll know only by asking the seller.

@Vodoun: Awesome pics, man.

And you took the neck plug out too right? the big ball sticking out the top

Seriously, vodoun. I'm repeatedly in awe over the quality of the light in your space/room/display. Always so cinematic and smooth. It's like you've bottled that "magic hour" at the end of the day for use whenever you please.....fantastic.

Was wondering if someone could post a pic of the leg of the DX02 without the boot on, and maybe a pic of the joint within the boot.

I really like the lighting in this one. Very well done!

I haven't taken the bots off, and I don't plan to, but I am positive from posing the ankles that he has the standard Hot Toys barbell joint there.

Just like the wrist pegs, I think you could easily exchange the DX pegs with any other HT figure. Again, same with the ball joint where the neck fits on. I assume you are trying to figure out whether the medi parts will fit on the HT body. If the medi head and boots fit to any of your HT figures they will fit on the DX.


I would be curious to hear what Thrust or Penny have to say about this. I have a feeling there is some other reason that they chose to use the Medi body.
