Actually that whole arm with the hands would work because Bb has the the sharp fingertips. The only thing is you gotta repaint the whole arm. But I guess if your already going through the trouble you might as well.
I have to say, doing a bit of work on a figure makes you love it more. if it was perfect out of the box i'd put it on the shelf and forget about it. but this was there's a bit more time and work put into the figure
100% agree.. I love working on figures.. thats our hobby! what fun is there to just take it out of the box and just put it on the shelf to display (which IS great too).. but its nice to see what you can improve.
Look we have to go over something . . And I'm only trying to give the best advice possible not be an ass or anything You have to stop boiling your figures Me and many other (and much better customizers) thought this was done and over with but yet we keep seeing people do it Boiling is not only inefficient but the heat transfer is all over the place and not directed towards any one part . . You're basically heating more plastic than necessary A heat gun is usually $20-30 . . And will do wonders to heat up only the area you need and then cooling it off is easy . . Hell I many times even this year have used the freezer to help with reshaping some plastic after heating I've seen people ruin figures or burn themselves because of hot boiling water getting trapped in a torso and spilling out But please at least hear me out and try it . . Heck a decent blow dryer will still work great! Always here to help!
Hi there! I appreciate the advice! even in my older videos with basic body swaps,I do recommend using a blow dryer too. However for ME, (and I consider myself a decent veteran).. I'm fine with the boil and pop and never had a problem. thanks for the advice and the input! much appreciated!
Liquitex matte varnish is really good for tightening up joints and won't be as difficult as super glue, which can also frost the plastic. It's a water soluble liquid (kind of like thin elmers glue) that you can brush on. I just dab a bunch into the joint and then move it around and then leave it alone to set up.
Was it not possible to remove the lower arm from the Batman figure and peg it into the upper bicep of the Spider-Man figure at the double elbow joint to preserve the lower arm fins? I see they both have pegs and could have possibly been compatible
It's pretty cool. Personally, I think I'll leave his arms as-is when I get it, just since I'd miss the forearm blades, but this looks real nice. Kitbashing's awesome.
What are you going to do with the armless Spiderman? I have two, one with a stuck shoulder and another where the shoulder broke. If yours is fine and want to unload it let me know!
Hey man I use model masters acrylic paint. You can find them at hobby lobby or amazon. Make you before you paint you give the figure a light sand with 1000 grit paper to get the shine off, rinse, before you apply the paint make sure to add 2 to 3 small drops of water to eliminate the brush strokes. Seems like a lot but it is quick and you will get good results out of it. I recently did a punisher custom on the that body and did the same thing. Good luck!
Hi Wylun. I've been using Testors Gray Primer (#4680) before painting Testors flat acryllic paints, but all my figures are turning out glossy. Can you suggest a primer that has a good matte finish? Thx for your artistry & tutleage!
Recently I broke two cable Sasquatch baf upper shoulders. Even after I loosened them up with hot water first. Then I broke a PO dameron pilot's neck after I put it in hot water. Ripped one edge. Going to use epoxy for the neck. But this plastic is getting weird. Very brittle.
hm.. with stuck or tight joints, I would use a heat gun or blow dryer to heat it up and try to move it around.. if that doesnt work, atleast you have the area softened. I suggest buy Silicone Shock Oil to try to loosen up joints. check out my past tutorial videos.
Hope he had an extra black suit spidey.that figures better than the beyond.so classic compared to beyond.and was it possible to change out the wrist hinge instead of mod ing it.
hm... well i would have to find a comparable figure with the same forearm.. but that is limiting. Ya its a sacrifice for the blacksuit.. but hasbro comes out w/ new spiderman figures every year. A new Black suit spiderman just came out too. (not classic looking but the symbiote one). I actually like that body with the white spider on its body.. i might get that and just swap the heads.
Has anybody tried marvel legends blue Spiderman 2099 figures arms? I'm thinking of using him for the arm blades mostly and of course id paint his arms the appropriate color.
I have a question about the legs and some of my figures like my Darth Revan his legs are loose point where they meet they moved fine but they always have that small little wobble you probably know what I'm talking about it happens on a lot of figures I was just wondering if you get what I'm talking about or should I try and go into more detail I'm wondering why it does that
i THINK I understand what you are saying.. My best opinion is to either use some superglue or Future Finish and apply some in the joints and rotate it. use very little at a time and rotate, you dont want to get it stuck.. repeat if necessary.
nope! I encourage to do it yourself! its very very easy! just follow my instructions or use a hair dryer. if you learn to do it yourself you can do more things and experiment
I believe it's bicep and below not at the shoulders. @WylunCustoms, because the Legends have better articulation, would you adapt and customize the spidey's body into Batman? Or would that be too much work?
ahh... too much for me to do now. plus I'm really liking the Multiverse body molds in general. If you took the spiderman body, you gotta prep it.. u gotta base it.. u gotta spray it.. then you gotta repaint the red batman symbol or get a cut out.. .takes a process. For ME atleast. I just wanted to be done w/ this in a afternoon haha. But it is true, I'm really liking the Multiverse body molds and wanna keep it as original as possible for my collection.
yaya, what you see in the video is what I had to do. One arm went into the bicep peg no problem.. the other about 80% ok.. could of been fine for most.. but since I was doing work on it, I went in and tightened it up. HEY ! I hope you enjoy the shock oil. Remember use 1-2 DROPS only at first and see how that works.. these things work great but too much is annoying. good luck!
ehh. not for me.. I wanted to keep the base body the Batman figure.. also didnt want to repaint the whole body and repaint the red bat symbol. If I wanted to do go the whole repaint route.. i would of done that along time ago b/c I have other batman beyond heads to use.
You could use the original Spider-Man 2099 to get the arm blades on there.
Actually that whole arm with the hands would work because Bb has the the sharp fingertips. The only thing is you gotta repaint the whole arm. But I guess if your already going through the trouble you might as well.

That's true but it also sucks that they still can't just get the qc under control
100% agree.. I love working on figures.. thats our hobby! what fun is there to just take it out of the box and just put it on the shelf to display (which IS great too).. but its nice to see what you can improve.
Great tutorial very useful also you should paint the back of the wings now since that's another thing Mattel skipped out on doing
Look we have to go over something . . And I'm only trying to give the best advice possible not be an ass or anything
You have to stop boiling your figures

I agree 100%...heat gun every time

Question? Would the marvel legends legs be able to swap out with the DC figure ?
Liquitex matte varnish is really good for tightening up joints and won't be as difficult as super glue, which can also frost the plastic.
It's a water soluble liquid (kind of like thin elmers glue) that you can brush on. I just dab a bunch into the joint and then move it around and then leave it alone to set up.
thanks for that tip! how long is the drying process?

If he made the effort he could add the blades on the new arms.
thanks for the comment! to each their own! its a great figure still stock.. great display piece.
haha, no effort here.
And now mcfarlane is making a badass batman beyond
haha still wont buy. I'm too invested in 6in scale to go to a new scale. Great looking figures but I wont touch them
Cool! The Symbiote Spidey was the perfect choice. Always fun to mod and improve your figures.
hi there! thanks for the comment!
What are you going to do with the armless Spiderman? I have two, one with a stuck shoulder and another where the shoulder broke. If yours is fine and want to unload it let me know!
Nice dude
very nice!
Are you gonna do something about the arm blades
not at the moment! but if I want to.. I would just sculpt it on.
Awesome cool video... I want to customize Marvel legends Purple Paladine figure all black... What paint should I use

sorry I am not very familiar with testors.. try Tamiya?
@@WylunCustoms thanks. Will do.

Agreed. Specially with the cold weather.

Didn't the legs in that Lobo figure give you a hard time to plug in?
Good tip
thanks! hope it was helpful!
is no one gonna talk about those guns he has ?
Thanks for the tips dude!
np!

Now he doesn't have the spikes on his arms, what are you going to do about that???
I might just leave it. I dont really mind no spikes. better articulation is more important to me.
I like using plastic weld by JB weld to fill in gaps.
ya I heard of that too! thanks for the tip. I try alot of different things. I just stick with what always works and easiest.
You could use the new kingpin wave black Spider-Man since that figure has clawed hands
OR.. use the new black spiderman's body and use the old head and create a new Black Suit spiderman with a awesome white spider symbol on him o.O
nicely done
Good video like it I watched your review after it was a lot better after you changed it
thanks! i'm glad my review was helpful and you liked it!
What about his forearm blades? Are you gonna leave them blank ...or add them
Nice work
11:18 ok you answered my question
yaaa, like I said, I rather have top notch articulation over the blades. I can also honestly deal w/ out them. (not a priority to me_)
Dude, would you be able to make another if I can source the parts?
nope! I encourage to do it yourself! its very very easy! just follow my instructions or use a hair dryer. if you learn to do it yourself you can do more things and experiment
You could have just removed the white or painted over it for the spidey hands you removed.
yes, that could of been done, however there would be no gripping hands for the Batarangs.
NICE!
I expected this work but it is less than expected.
haha sorry it didnt meet the expectations!
Nice vid. Where I get that oil you used in the joints
go on amazon, look up Silicone Shock Oil. Or if you have hobby shop that sells RC cars, they will have it too.
Rip the us old black spider it's butter fly joints where to hard to turn and made it arms break off
Cool
2:11...you’re a “snicker”? Lol. Stickler....cool video btw dude
ahhh i was hoping someone didnt catch that! lol.. thanks man! appreciate the support!
So the spider-man arms fit perfect on the figure at the shoulder? BTW I bought silicone shock oil because of you lol
I believe it's bicep and below not at the shoulders.
@WylunCustoms, because the Legends have better articulation, would you adapt and customize the spidey's body into Batman? Or would that be too much work?
yeah sorry i mean from arms to that bicep joint
ahh... too much for me to do now. plus I'm really liking the Multiverse body molds in general. If you took the spiderman body, you gotta prep it.. u gotta base it.. u gotta spray it.. then you gotta repaint the red batman symbol or get a cut out.. .takes a process. For ME atleast.

Poor Black Suit Spidey
lol he served me well. I plan on getting the new Kingpin black suit and swaping the heads.
🔥🤙🏽🔥
Wouldn't it have been easier to head swap, belt swap and paint the spiderman?
ehh. not for me.. I wanted to keep the base body the Batman figure.. also didnt want to repaint the whole body and repaint the red bat symbol. If I wanted to do go the whole repaint route.. i would of done that along time ago b/c I have other batman beyond heads to use.
Where could I buy the shock oil
amazon!
Third nice figure men
Looks ok but you should have sculpted the forearm blades
if im bored, one day I will.. but for now, I'm fine without them. thanks for the comment!
What was wrong with Batman’s original arm.
Nothing, He's just being picky cuz he wants the extra degree from the double joint
See the Anthonyscustom review
The forearm sculpt is super flat, and the lack of double jointed elbows limits articulation
yuuup
Can I have an action figure u don't use anymore
haha sorry, going to be needing it for kitbashing in the future.
can u do classic robin the just dick grayson robin?
First thing your going to do is grab a better action figure by a more capable toy company
Aren’t you so fucking cool...I play guitar too...been playing 20 yrs but don’t feel the need to advertise it to everyone....
hahaha
Mr.SmithGNR Smith what do you mean?
I will pay
Ill stick with my mezco batman beyond...
you lucky son of a... lol jkjk but ya I was late to the game on that one... its pricey as hell now. this is my alternative lol
WylunCustoms lol
