Henry Pascal true true, but i kinda dont want to customize the figure cause that arms look short for the body. The lenght of that arm looks the same as gambits.
Loved the jump scare with the box cutter lol

The most amazing part of this tutorial is the actual video evidence that you were able to find two Jim Lee Cyclops figures!! LOL, this was great, Mike. I mostly remember the jacketed look from X-Men: TAS so I was glad to see you give the show a nod. Thanks for sharing!

So, I bought the recently released 3-pack Cyclops to take OFF the jacket and the arms, lol. The blue and yellow colors have a re-deco more accurate to the cartoon which is the look I want. Only problem is I need to find a figure with blue arms that match the new Cyclops. I'm thinking about an upcoming Deadpool figure with a blue costume that looks similar to Jim Lee's Cyclops. I know there is the standard Jim Lee figure but I don't like the tint of those colors as much.

@A B Bascally took a hair dryer to the torso for a minute or two and with either a box cutter or X-acto knife begin to split a wedge at the arm pit. Do it slow and carefully and you can pop the torso apart. Being careful is key since you'll want to snap it back together but probably will need some glue on the inside as well. I'd recommend practicing on a sacrificial figure.

@@JeminiThaBard I found the recipe! Buy the Cyclops/Phoenix 2-pack Cyclops and Spider-Man UK. Take the Spider-Man forearms off and swap them. The cuffs will have to come from a Deadpool figure or anything with them and will need some touch up yellow paint. Pop off the boots and swap the other parts.

Thank you so much for this video! I just started customizing and ruined a couple of practice figs using the method of cracking by drilling holes into the sides and up around the neck. Tried the boil/utility knife method and it worked beautifully with no ugly holes to fill. The torso (a ML Scourge) popped right apart with everything inside still intact!

I use Citadel paints from Games Workshop. Make sure whatever you use, you shake it or stir it really good to mix the paint. Also clean whatever you're painting. I rinse in warm water, then put some hand soap on a tooth brush and lightly scrub. I also splash a bit of Rubbing Alcohol then rinse and dry. For sculpt I use Miliput.

You can pretty much do this with any figure. I've done it to older Marvel Legends, Star Wars, WWE, etc.
Be careful on the Black Ant body mold that is several other characters as well it doesn't have and exterior pegs to crack it's all held in by that box that holds the shoulders. I used to crack modern Joes all the time they always had pegs too.

Sorry, it was super easy, I didn't think to do so.. Pull the arms back all the way, with his forearms bending inward towards his back (like he's getting cuffed by the police). Peel back the jacket over the shoulders one at a time. You can also heat it up with a blow dryer or warm water to help soften up the rubber jacket.
