I do have that figure on pre-order and have debated cancelling a few times, due to my excitement dying down after the long wait as well as the mixed reviews. I think I'll go ahead and let it go through. As for customizing, I'll make my final decision when I get him, but I may try the hot glue neck adjustment. I might be okay with the collar, but I do have two McFarlane figures... I could always use the collar from the one with the plastic cape. Paint touch-ups are always on the table for me. I feel like those are the easiest way to bring a figure with potential to life.

I agree 100% on Mezco, they are definitely hit or miss and the main issue is the base bodies they use. That most recent comic Superman was my eye opener, it was so badly proportioned and stumpy. I found myself tinkering with it over and over trying to like it, until I just started buying 3rd party Supes and customizing my own. Recently, I picked up the Psertoys version which from the neck down was really good, and I now use a neck peck from an aliexpress MezKO fig and the actual Mezco Superman heads (Because those were great) on it and that is my best soft goods Superman now.

You're absolutely right-- I got that Superman and it's been sitting in the tin since it arrived because I decided I would probably just use it for parts. To your point, they're incredibly inconsistent-- those TMNT are probably-figures-of-the-year material, and then within a few months we get this li'l stumpy guy, lol. I gotta look up the Psertoys version-- sounds like you found the perfect balance!

Right?? There’s one coming out from a company called FondJoy, and theirs looks really good so far.

I think the figure is trash as it comes out of the box. BUT!, I love what you did, now I'm thinking on buying it and customizing it too.

Thank you! Somebody told me that they swapped the boots with the one from the McFarlane figure to make third taller, so if you want to mess with the height I would recommend trying that!

@JohnDoe-lt3hi Ай бұрын

the struggle is real! I too, have really slowed down my Mezco collecting. Thankfully they dont have anything I'd want upcoming for the rest of the year aside from maybe that Popeye reissue. That Indiana Jones they have upcoming will likely be another "fail" from what I'm hearing.

@Ibrahim_M Ай бұрын

Yeah I only have Indiana Jones, the villain to go with him (but I just want the suit from that one anyway), and the Power Rangers left on PO with them, and then I don't see myself PO-in from them anymore. Hopefully Indy is easy to fix, lol.

@@Ibrahim_M idk if I should sell it or not because the McFarlane one and Mafex are just proportioned better. I need to watch your McFarlane video to see if I can mod a few things.

There’s one coming out from FondJoy that looks really good, too. I believe it’s McFarlane scale.

"How do you do that when your whole business is making tiny human people?" hahaha Well sorry you had to go through all that. Sure does look better now! Maybe after some time has passed the extra struggles will turn in to a fun story and it'll make you not as resentful. Maybe.
