Oh yea, power ranger engineering makes it so those shoulder mods are almost impossible to do without breaking something. Its why I only do customs with that line where I just have to repaint them or maybe swap legs or something.
Legit I love the way Lazy Monster did their butterfly joints. Its a ball joint instead of a straight peg going into the torso from the shoulder. Gives it so much rom and the arms are easily swappable/removable. I dont know if other important companies do it this way but I definitely like it better.
I'm curious about this butterfly joint setup you're talking about but not familiar with the line, and I'm a lazy monster myself. Got a link to some pics?
The figures themselves? Those are easy to find. Google Lazy Monster elf figure. Its a new company and the figures are fantastic. Really solid. Ill have to take pics later of the way the joint is. I wanna say Mafex may use it too. Its similar to Hasbros but their peg has a tip to keep it secure. And the butterfly is attached to the torso. The Lazy Monster figure shoulders have a ball joint instead of a tip and special hole. And the butterfly part is a free floating piece so you can move it all around. Its made so the arms are easily swappable. And get tons of rom.
Here's the shoulder system I said I'd take a couple pics of. Hopefully fwoosh doesn't die again.
Some male heads have separate sculpted hair. Are these hairstyles transferable between figures? Anyone successfully transfer?

Yes, definitely possible.
i recently swapped the hair from the ML Sentry (Allfather wave) onto an Ikaris head for a Doc Samson custom/kitbash (needed longer hair)
Complete recipe:
-Hyperion body from the recent 2-pack (removed trunks/head/boots)
-Ikaris head
-Sentry hair
-Luke Cage boots
-Sandman BAF belt modded
Can anyone with MCU Classic Loki (the smiling old man one from the tv show) tell me if his yellow gloves are the standardized yellow plastic that matches Mini Comic Banshee's yellow? The outstretched hands look like they'd suit that figure better for a classic flying pose. Just curious for anyone who has both.
That is an X-cellent idea - and it works!!
And seeing them side by side like this I realize Loki got sculpted boots - in almost the same style that could have been reused for figs like Banshee. Classic Loki is just a bit undersized for what he should have been.
That is an X-cellent idea - and it works!!
Thanks for trying it out. I feel like Banshee got stiffed on hand accessories, particularly since we're getting a mostly all reuse figure. Now to go find that Loki on sale.
That is an X-cellent idea - and it works!!
I don't know if you have 20th Iron Man and Egghead but I've been thinking about putting the unmasked Tony head on the Egghead body, was curious if it'd make for a decent Bolivar Trask for the villains shelf. You might give it a try.
I never ended up keeping that IM - gotta draw the line somewhere! 🙂
