I think there's more figures made from Batroc than figures displayed as Batroc! Poor Guy!! LOL Great tutorial sir!

Thanks dude!

Can you give my some tips what boormachine is best for marvel legends figures,?

So would this technique work for a Marvel Icons figure too? Basically the same thing as a Toybiz Legends figure but bigger, right?

good for you

Cool video bro

how to disassembly glued part?

How can you get the neck peg out to use on another female figure ?

How lucky you are my friend. How I wished to have this one. But it is not available in my country. I wish you more

Dope tips brother!

I recently cracked a sunfire body by using an exacto knife. It worked fantastic. Haven’t tried it on any other figures though.

I’ve tried that and almost sliced myself 😂

If it's glue on the torso seam, has anyone tried subjecting it to below Zero temps? I didn't find any info though. Thing is working in a store's Frozen Dept I learned most all glues fail at temps well below zero unless made special. Often times a jolt would cause the glue to shatter.

Hey Brock I am thinking about using the vulture baf wings for my Archangel custom. What do you think? I have KO wings I could use but I thought the vulture baf would be something nobody else would use.

Im thinking of using apoxy and paint to tone down the muscle definition on some marvel legends figures.

Will this work with the Ghostrider figures with that fire and collar at the neck?

Awesome tutorial! I hate opening up figures, %90 of the time I get the plastic warped, not sure how you guys do it so perfectly lol also, was wondering if that black/white priming actually create shadows for you? I tried it many times but my paint seems to just cover up those details and feels useless priming it that way.

@LifewithBrock

The priming definitely helps. I use an airbrush so I’m able to build up light layers layer and the priming does affect the color.

@@LifewithBrock yes I mean I primer the figures after long time of joint prep, but I use that black to gray to white shading technique, but I always end up coloring the whole figure and the shade does not show. Unless I'm doing something wrong? Maybe just use water downed paint to keep the shadow effect?

Does this work with GIJOE CLASSIFIED??? Cus I need to recrack MY OFFICER TORSO to fit the arms

Great tutorials, really appreciate it. Question - why apoxie and not the Green Stuff? What is the major reason to use one over the other?

@LifewithBrock

Green stuff cures like rubber so you’d want to use that on hair, gloves, boot cuffs etc.

It depends on the connection. Heat up the figure and separate first.

@@LifewithBrock Ah, it was a Red She-Hulk, Everything popped apart easy after boiling but when I got to the hip joint and it wasn't giving in, I knew had to crack it. Took 3 quarters of Titans vs Chiefs before I finally cracked it open. I had no idea what it looks in the inside (1st time cracking) so I drilled on the crotch and 4 more spots along the seams, damn thing wouldn’t t crack. Had to scratch that glue line slowly until I could wedge two knives in to split it. Didn't know old hips were done like that. Glad the new female bodies have ball joints.

Does this method work on black series figures

Can you do a tutorial on creating a bicep swivel

Of your figure does not have bicep swivel, just cut it (carefully) then dremel the bicep area and drill a screw onto the other cut part and plug them in.

Do a female figure please

Man after watching this video? And to a figure getting open up is giving me? A heart disease. But it helps collectors to custom there old figure to make new wons. I always thought? They would just re-colored the body without opening them off.
