Question regarding modding a hot toys body

Darthrazz · Nov 28, 2011

I know there's probably a thread regarding this, but could not find one.

I'm looking to make a Hot Toys body proportionately taller, I'm thinking of extending legs,arms and torso. I added a photo of where I'm thinking of adding a 1/4 inch to. Now my questions, whats the best way to do this? I'm thinking of using Magisculp. Has anyone tried this and what did you use? I'm hoping to have the limbs remain strong at the attached areas to remain posable.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Have you looked into getting an ArtSaves body? They're a bit taller that a TT, or the new DAM BHD Ranger/Delta it might save you the trouble.

Thanks. Never heard of Artsaves, is the DAM the same as Crazy Dummy?

Yea just cut some extensions from wood dowel rod or something.

Cover the cuts with epoxy or similar.

Sorry my fault, I had a case of the *******. It's Art Figure, its the company that put out the Tears of the Sun and Punisher figures. DAM is new and they are doing the Black Hawk Down figures. You should be able to find their stuff on ebay for a lot cheaper than HT TT. Hope that helps and sorry for the bad intel.
