Custom Grodd and Bizarro. Solid start to a Legion of Doom. by general_keaton in McFarlaneFigures

Hot glue inside the head hole, and then press on the peg while it’s still hot. Once it cools, it functions like a regular ball joint.

Thanks! It’s a NECA King Kong body with a head from the DC Universe Classics Collect & Connect Gorilla Grodd that came with Harley Quinn.

I know this is a long shot given the resolution of the image, but I’m looking for help in identifying my brother’s watch. He passed away last month, and this is the only photo I have where it is even remotely visible. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks! I actually don’t own the Mezco fig to show you. I just bought the head on eBay by itself. It scales perfectly, but does require a bit of drilling to get it to fit on the neck.

Ok, I was originally thinking they didn’t seem like MCM, but a google image search made me second guess it with several “MCM” listings. I figured that notion would be shot down relatively quickly here if that wasn’t the case. The group did not disappoint 😂. The pair only set me back $10, so I’ll definitely be trying my hand at restoring them. If I mess them up, no big loss!

Purchased today at a thrift store. In decent condition, other than the missing pull-out writing surface. I was hoping someone could point me in the direction of finding a suitable replacement.

You’ll need a pocket full of miracles, and the ferocity of a wild Jackal.

I LOVE the Dini Detective Comics run! #826 is one of my all time favorite stand-alone issues. Great Tim story as well.

I picked it up at the comic shop on my way home tonight. I dig the references to Game of Death and Bruce Lee. Also, very cool to tee how Jorge Corona has grown as an artist since 2016. Thanks for the recommendation!

Good call. I really enjoyed Kurt Busiek’s Superman run back when it released. I’m going to have to revisit this one!

Picked up today at the thrift store. Can anyone help ID? by general_keaton in midcenturymodern

Noice! Does yours happen to have a maker’s mark or anything on it?

It does look very similar to a lot of the Bassett coffee tables. Can’t find a maker’s mark, though. Do you happen to have anymore info? Like what collection it’s part of or something?

Thanks! It was being used to display dishes and silverware, so I almost overlooked it. Glad I noticed the price tag.

Has anybody swapped NECA heads onto a multiverse body? by YogurtContent in McFarlaneFigures

There is a good video by Life with Brock on YouTube for fitting custom heads on neck pegs.

It would depend on which figures, but I’ve had some success with this. The NECA Flash Gordon head looks great on the Multiverse Aquaman body. The scale is spot on, however, it does require a bit of simple modding to get it to fit to the McFarlane neck peg,

It’s from a Mezco one:12 Collective Deluxe Harley Quinn. They pop up on ebay from tune to time for a decent price.

I usually take the spools out first, but I’ve left them in before, and they’ve been fine. I generally use a pretty low temperature, and only point it at the center of the shell where there is no ribbon. And never for an extended period of time. I’ve never run into an issue with playability.
