I'm sensing a pattern here.

I better take/post some pics soon.

 

[ZaCHw117]

Thanks man! Yeah help me keep this one up and going.

 

[Ninjaknight]

^^^^^ Awesome, is that the one that came the V1 of The dark knight suit?

Oh, and my Balaclava came early!

Here's some pics::

Where did you buy that ski mask from?

I picked up a Tak bats for the Gauntlets, though I must say that the figure when put in a HT Narrow TT looks very good. Gets rid of the woman hips and skinny legs shape from the original for sure. I like the spelunking belt on this better as well. Looks nice and is way cheaper option than a Toyfair or other original suit. Underrated figure for sure.

How the hell did you get the rubber suit off?

Hehehe! There is a plastic plate on his back that with a little hot water and an exacto knife can expose the entire back. Baby powder is also your friend with this guy.

The hardest part was the feet. I destroyed the Takara feet on the shoes and then installed the HT Tt feet. They are a little long in the boot but with dome finagling they come around. Two little screws on the bottom hold the rubber to the feet, strip that off gently and you have access to the tak ankles and feet.

Just put Humpty Dumpty back together the way he was taken down and lactate the crap out of the plastic shell. Tip: There is a channel that goes around the shape of the back, glue the neck first and let it set then move down each side of the back, gives you more material to pull together with the rubber.

Damn. That's a hardcore mod.

 

[Mr. EcKo]

I'm thinking of turning my Takara into the Nomex Survival Suit .

No one has EVER done this . Why?

 

[Maglor]

Too much work.

Never worn on screen.

Wrong. He wore it in the cave , the waterfall dripping on his arms

"Alfred , come on"

"I'm fine right here "

 

[Maglor]

You're right!







Still, too much work... for me.

 

[ZaCHw117]

Eh, I'm fine with the Takbats body.

I wasn't. But stuffed with cotton I'm fine.

Looks awesome on a TT!

And looks damn fine at that. I still want to pick this guy up but I won't pay over $100 for him. Once in a blue moon I'll see him on ebay for right around that price but it's always around a time I can't afford it. I'd have to either stuff him or put him on a TT for sure. Way to feminine looking with out it.

 

[Mr. EcKo]

I have this guy ,

No gauntlets ,some hands , no cape

Thinking of selling , anyone interested in him ?

 

[jedijim3002]

I was thinking of getting one of these just to use for a custom. Does anybody have one they want to sell that just has the body armor suit? All I need is the rubber armor suit if it covers the whole body.
