Modification/Customization for the DX12 Batman Figure

[euphoria]

Here's my dx12 again. -
1) Robbie's faceplate.
2) Padded shoulders to shorten neck slightly.
3) Shortened arms by pushing them upwards as much as possible.
4) Gauntlet overlapped.
5) Stuffed rolled up tape behind to hold up belt tighter.
6) Cape tucked into shoulder pads to look neat from front.
7) Ankle widening.

I like it EKT. It looks more like Bale underneath that cowl. Instead of a compressed and goggly eye Bale face inside that cowl.

Not sure where to post this!

I fitted a mains wired LED into the DX12 neck and added metal plates to the DX02 sonar head so that it would fit on the DX12

Next stage is to fit the eyes into a DX12 head...

Awesome idea man. I really miss the sonar head. Would love to be able to do something like this. Looking forward to more pics or.

That looks incredible. I think your may be my favorite I've seen up till this point. Awesome.


Has anyone used the Wayne recast head to do this mod by any chance?

Hi all,

Is there a chance anyone has a dx12 body that has had the 'fat suit' taken out that they would be willing to sell?? Im new to all this so trying to mod mine would stress me out far too much, I would eff it up within minutes. OR is there a video tutorial perhaps that can help me with it?

The thunder thighs are annoying me now Ive seen how much better it looks without the fat suit.

you got it i wish i can take a picture while I'm doing it... but you can imagin....

 

[TonyMeis]

I heated the rear bottom of the helmet and shape it the way I want it while its still hot, then cold water to seal the shape

Left- modified DX12 helmet
Right- Orginal DX12 helmet

it's not a noticeable difference, but I just want the rear to come in a bit more like Medicom

Looks quite noticable in the first pic, could be the angle. I shall try this, sounds easy enough.

Any idea if we can use black paper for the eye squint mod as an alternative to painting it black?
