This looks absolutely brilliant! Well done sir! Much needed extra detailing. Now I’m considering getting one!
Thanks so much, Justin! Big fan of your channel and I very much appreciate the kind words. If you get one I hope you enjoy it! 🙌🏼
@@Ibrahim_MHello. What if you put the Henry Cavill HS Mafex size, Does it work ?
@@Poupipoupi-bw2bl I can't say for sure because I don't have the Mafex figure, but I can tell you with a certainty that you'd have to hollow out the peg hole on the Mafex head to get it to fit on this body. The skin tones also would not match.
Great paint job, very subtle but you nailed the details int he silver/blue highlights
Thank you very much! Subtlety is so important when working on smaller scale stuff, so I really appreciate you noticing 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Fantastic work, man!! I think you'll be really pleased with the Valhalla Customs cape 😁🤙
Thank you, man! I really appreciate the recommendation on that! I can't wait to get it.
Man, you're very talented!!
Thank you so much, man!! 🙏🏼
bloody amazing mate thanks for sharing
Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching this!
great work my dude!
Thanks brother!
Man great review… I keep mine in set poses as well only changing them up every now and then. I also like how you subtly dry brushed the silver over the suit, but it still really stands out. I’ll be working on mine this week. I made a temporary wired cape that looks pretty nice while I wait for mine from Valhalla to come in.
And that’s a beautiful display. Killer Crock and Hawkman are really nice.
Thank you, sir! I really wanted the dry brushing to scale with the figure- it’s very easy to overdue a paint app and make it look too pronounced for the size, so I really appreciate you nothing that. Got your video cued up for tomorrow while I draw comics pages!
Great work, bro! I just preordered Cyn on Amazon! I got some graphic novel stories I've been sitting on for a good minute, so this is definitely inspiring. Maniple outdid themselves on this Superman. Wow! I really hope they do a Man of Steel version!
Yooooooo thank you so much, man!! I really, really appreciate that and I hope you enjoy it. Here’s hoping you let some of those ideas out from under you! It’s a helluva lot of work but it’s a lot of fun 🙌🏼
A Manipple MOS version would be incredible! I thought about ordering another to make one out of, lol.
@@Ibrahim_MHi, The Henry Cavill Manipple HS you have is for Mafex size or Mezco size ?
I missed this because it got buried in a reply! I have the mezco scale version
Great figure from Manipple, also I loved your effort on that fantastic headsculpt. I am still looking for getting that SHF Superman close to retail :D
Thanks very much! Are you located in the US?
Hey,What a cool superman you got there specially love the happy supes,which is something I always hated about Snyder,no happy confident supes,great job as usual,had been lost for a while from your posts very busy and also a little bit sad you don't have X account anymore but always pending on your work Greetings from Mexico and keep your head on swivel!!!
Thank you, Carlos!!! I'm glad you enjoy a happier Superman as well! Yeah, I had to say goodby to X, it just wasn't useful anymore, but I'm on bluesky and Instagram if you're on there! All the best to you my friend!
Another great video of your amazing work, love it! One thing that bothers me about Mezco's, aside from their sometimes huge heads, is the stature. I feel some are too short. Any easy "fix" you can recommend? I'll probably try and make me Manipple Superman a bit taller also, once I receive it.
Thank you very much! Yeah, it’s tough because not all of them use interchangeable parts, so often times making them taller just isn’t possible unless you do a complete body swap, and that can mean that other parts of it don’t fit.
Hi Ibrahim,glad you got yours,& another great mod,need to ask as i mentioned to you,was there any issues with the neck length?,it doesn't look like there were for you,by the sound of it you bought your head sculpt around the same time as mine?
Hey Paul! Thanks my friend. Yeah, no issues thankfully! I remembered what you said and was keeping it in mind with the figure but I found it to look proportionately correct. I should look up when I bought the head because apparently there were two different batches.
A wonderful figure and customisation mate. The figure is a great one but my only niggle is that the manufacturer made the belt a little too low and the buckle sits right above the crotch. 😳
Whilst watching the video it made me wonder if any of the manufacturers ever reach out to you and comment on the changes you make to their figures and vehicles. You are making these great improvements and I wondered if any of these companies ever get in touch to give you their thoughts.
Thanks for your time and efforts mate and all the best.
Rod 👍
Thanks so much, Rod! Haha, I noticed the belt/crotch issue while I was painting and I forgot to mention it! Not a dealbreaker but definitely a funny oversight. No official companies have reached out, but I know I was an influence on the 3rd party company who made a replacement canopy, guns, and gas caps for the McFarlane 89 Batmobile. I also saw that after I customized my initial Turtle Van about 4 years ago, NECA got hold of the same van to use for the official photos of their April O'neal release, and it was such a unique idea and approach I had that I would bet money they saw what I did and copied it.
And this is a bit different, but very recently an "Old Man Logan" Wolverine figure from SooSoo Toys used some of my official comic book art as inspiration for an accessory that came with their figure.
Thanks Rod, as always!
Very cheeky that companies would take any ideas and improvements you have created and use it as if it’s their own. It suddenly dawned on me if any companies like Neca or McFarlane would have got wind of your improvements and reached out to offer their opinion. No law on adapting and improving their products I would imagine and when it’s for your own pleasure and that of your subscribers.
The belt/crotch thing with the figure doesn’t denigrate the figure or indeed your efforts in any way. I always love to see the improvements you make and look forward to see what you do next.
Best regards mate,
Rod 👍
@@LEXINGTONSMYTHE Thank you, as always, Rod! It's a funny thing, I don't begrudge anyone taking inspiration (a big part of why I have this channel is to hopefully inspire creativity in other people!), but when it's a company, it's a little annoying, lol.
I appreciate you, my friend!
Magnetized stand/feet, that sounds interesting.
Yeah there’s a premium 1/6 company, InArt that does that, and recently Muff Toys did it with their 1/12 James Bond. I’ve even done it a couple of times on figures that have balance issues. I’m surprised more companies don’t make them.
The manipple also making the batman from bvs, what do you think? Also you did great review on this one👍
Thank you! I have a mezco BVS Batman that I customized (you can see it here on my channel) and I was just going to keep that one, but after getting this figure I am definitely ordering the Manipple Batman when it’s available, haha
Just an FYI manipple released 2 different similar Cavil heads 1.0 and 2.0. They both look similar. I think most have the 1.0 . The one this body is meant for is the 2.0 head as u have there. I think that's why sum look funky as they say by the neck with the 1.0
Yeah I think the 1.0 was a shrink if the BVS Hot toys head, right? I’ve always hated that sculpt. Lol.
@Ibrahim_M looking at in hand rn ,the chin and cheek bones are less defined and hair parted to the right.
I just ordered the body only since it was on sale. Do you know what heads will pop on?
Other than the head that is designed for it, The Mezco Cavill Superman heads are the only ones that will pop right on. A McFarlane Cavill Superman head might fit, but you’d likely have to hollow it out a bit to fit onto the ball peg.
Take my money ! and give me that action figure
😂😂🙌🏼🙌🏼
Out of the zsjl mezco 3 pack I think the flash was the best out of the box via fine as is and looks like a little Ezra, need to lock him up at night so he doesn’t steal my sh!t
Yeah I agree, I really like that figure.
I need the head sculpts can’t believe I missed out on it, anyone know where to get one? Only aftermarket from what I can see. But amazing figure!!
I think they’re going to re-release the head on sites like onesixthkit and VCtoysbox. It’ll probably be a preorder so it may take a while to make them- Manipple is usually pretty slow from announcement/preorder to production
Sir what is that kit?
I don’t understand the question, my friend
What brand is that? Manipple? The mezco looks bad compared as soon as u side by side them
Yep, Manipple
Can we get a dean winchester head for a mezco sized Winchester and impala? Heh
I actually have one, haha. I think I know of an Impala, too. But I’ve never seen an episode of that show, one of these days I’ll sit down and give it a try.
