Modification/Customization for the DX12 Batman Figure

[Maglor]

Nice work man.

I found a way to flex the neck forward so he doesn't always have that super upright look. ^^^ I mean, you can of course pose the head tilted forward, but the neck doesn't let you flex forward (especially if you have done the neck mod).

I have that and one other mod I need to post about, and then I think my work is done on this figure.

Bring it!! I would be interested in that mod as well. Oh and thanks!!

The new mod is essentially a two part mod that allows for greater neck articulation while also adding a more realistic slope to the shoulders.


It's a slightly more complicated alternative to the neck mod on page one.

neck shortened..shaved a good part of the neck bottom till it almost reach the bottom grommet...I cut the top of the rubber grommet too so technically, it was just a tiny bit lowered but i think it works pretty well

let me take a pic

 

[Maglor]

Hmm, sounds very different than what I'm talking about...

 

[r5150s]

oppss..maybe it is but this mod works fine for me

Do you have pics to show the 'angle' cut?




Also is there a mod to fit the sonar neck into the DX12?

I cut from the buckle back at a 45 degree angle or thereabouts.

So basically you cut off in the front on an angle so it has give to tilt forward? Am I understanding that right? I see you still have that inner plug piece in the pic. So did you do this mod without doing the shorten neck pod as well? I wonder if your mod with the shorter neck would work the same if the neck sits lower in the socket without that piece.

I prefer the neck with the "inner plug" or "grommet" in place, which is part of the reason I came up with the alternate neck mod.

It's similar to RollongJ's in that the grommet is in place and that some grinding/sanding is involved, but mine is different.


I still have a couple finishing touches to do before I post more about it.

Still trying to understand what happened here.

Take out the pug and it shortens the neck

I did that as well. I just thought he did more to it.

Unless he cut away some of the bottom of the neck eg(sanded the bottom of the neck)

Well, the hole in the Sonar neck is larger than the ball joint on the DX12 so I would think you could put a few coats of clear nail polish inside the neck hole to make it a tight fit. I've done that with fitting a standard neck adapter to a slim TT neck ball-joint (which is also small).


If you do, take a pic or two and report back if you can.

Thanks Mags, will def post pics if I find the time to do it!



On a side note, can anyone explain how/what the 'fitting the gauntlet' means or what mod is it referring to? The width?

Cheers!
