ML Part Swaps and Mods

Man....  people out here giving Hasbro layups....   they could bash that up and do a new head and sell us all the classic Blade we're clamoring for.

Not that they'd admit to it, but they may have possibly taken alot of inspiration from a few custom figures that people made years ago when they did some of their own. But I don't think they've ever done a straight copy. I'm not sure why. Alot of customizers nail stuff pretty well, sometimes better then Hasbro, even some without painting anything, just straight part swaps. They could learn a thing or 2.

Strange request here but hoping someone can help. Does the Spider-Man Noir head from the Lizard BAF wave fit on the Antman Quantumania body? 

Before I go chasing down another Safari Wonder Man head, anyone know if it will fit on the Abomination wave Wonder Man body?

Has anyone replaced the stock Thunderstrike head with anything?  I’m desperate here. 

The only alteration to Thunderstrike I made was to give him a right fist and a left gripping hand from Hercules because Eric is a southpaw and should hold the mace in that hand.

Did the same thing to the 2-pack Thor that just came out as well. 

Can anyone with the new Luke Cage and Blade slap Luke's various hands on Blade?  I'm trying to see if they're too big or the wrong skintone to add some more elaborate hand gestures for Blade.  Aside from that, does anyone know if there are more suitable afro-American hands so Blade can hold firearms or have other hand gestures?

You can just give him black gloved hands from other figures. Cut the Index finger.

I used Secret Invasion Nick Fury’s hands on Blade. Black gloves, up-down hinges for better weapon posing, trigger fingers and tighter grip for accessories than the included hands.

@magnusprimal Beyond Thunderdome Painted Heads on eBay sells this great repainted Mythic Legions cast. I heated and popped the ponytail on the stock head & dremeled a hole into the cast. Pops in and allows for full rotation - all ponytails should be made this way on factory heads. Need to retouch the paint - hand slipped a lil bit.

Anyone know what hand would match & swap out for Morlun to have a fist-hand?  It was a weird oversight not including those with him!  It seems like the Smythe-fists may match?

@insaniac Oh wow that looks pretty great! I might have to grab one of those...

@magnusprimal 

I have the "Bro Thor" head on him as an alternative look. Did not like the shouting head he came with. The head I'm referring to is the Casual Thor BAF.  

Thanks for the *ahem* heads up on that replacement, @insaniac. Just went and picked one up for myself.

Just looking at picture of the mold, I think it might actually be a reproduction of the Fisto head from the MOTU Masterverse line.

@thor-el Oh, you're right! Good call & np - his stuff has always been good quality.
