MVL Part Swaps

Looks like

Masters of the Universe Masterverse Fisto - 7"​

Yep, that’s the one.

huh. I have a spare one of those Fistos......

5k toys has these Daredevil accessories up for pre-order.

I'm going to grab one so I can get crazy with the wired billy club without worrying about breaking one from my MAFEX figure.

I wish it came with extra holsters, at least to match the red clubs. The swappable holsters were cool, but my fully sheathed one broke at the knob and no glue will adhese to fix it. I guess it doesn't matter except for single club shots with red.

I went with the total package.

I just swapped the hair from VHS Mystique and retro Mystique and I don't love it. The red-orange of the VHS hair feels like it clashes with the blue-violet of the retro skin. The darker red hair of teh retro looks decent on the warmer blue of the VHS body's skin.

I hear that. I think they're trying to be company agnostic (ML versus MAFEX) to bring in as many customers as possible.

Would you mind sharing the photo, please? Visually talk me out of it.

Another reason I got the ultimate set.

Provided Hasbro ever puts DD out again.

Yep, that’s the one.

The head on that thing looks like the only thing worth having. Good use.

I personally like it but I agree it's a bit too light red . Maybe a wash or repainting could help?

Have you tried UV resin? I've done that with softer plastic like the strap on NECA toon Casey's bag. It broke, so I put a few dabs of UV resin in the area, held the piece in place and hit it with a UV flashlight. Now it's more of a plastic bond, not just some random adhesive.

I cant decide if that DD stuff is worth paying (Very high price in Aussie dollars) to get stuff Id be using for Legends Daredevil. Its tempting....

I haven't! I'll take a look into it.

I had this plastic bond that dissolved plastic into each other for Warhammer, but when I gave that hobby up I must have donated the glue.

But a UV flashlight sounds more fun.
