1/6 Hot Toys - MMS - Spider-Man: Homecoming - Spider-Man Collectible Figure

That's what I did to my SM3 Spidey.

Wow - how'd you manage that feat without ruining the suit??

I popped the foot pads off the bottom of the feet then drilled holes through the foot pads and glued them into place so they would be flush with the rest of the foot.

I still need to paint them red so they are less conspicuous but you never see them anyway.

 

[Vetinari]

Wow - that's really neat work I'm even more impressed about how well that was carried out considering the elasticity of the material.

 

[jedijim3002]

The foot pads on the bottom are plastic. I drilled holes in those not the fabric.

 

[Vetinari]

Oh I see! Nevertheless that's still a very neatly done job, and it deserves praise. Despite the fact that I've got access to both Neodymium magnets, and other figures that make use of something very similar I don't think I'd have thought of doing something like this myself to a HTs, much less one that's permanently dressed.

(Hint Hot Toys Hint - do this please... Actually in retrospect they probably shouldn't, knowing them the magnets would fall out instantly, leaving many collectors with sad broken Spider-Men lying shattered on the floor the next morning)

Very cool

Thanks guys. It's pretty fun being able to hang him upside down from stuff.

My display is waiting for the Tom Holland Spideys ...

Outstanding work JJ3002! Great things those neodymium magnets; I use them in several areas of my collection:

Displaying my toy ray guns:




This might work for you JJ3002; I used plastic coated neodymium magnets to mount my pinwheel spacemen (from the 1950s) on the glass of a Detolf. I held the pinwheel mount I made (also a neodymium magnet) to the back or side of the display case and slid a plastic coated magnet behind it on the back of the glass. This allows me to slide the pinwheels wherever I want for display. Hope that made sense?

^^ I'm super envious of that ray gun collection! Love it!

 

[Tinman2000]

Thanks, I guess the proper term should have been "space gun"...and it's gotten bigger since the pic was taken.

 

[jedijim3002]

Nice work tinman! I like the way you think. Great idea thank you!

 

[Tinman2000]

Cool. If you try this or something like it, I recommend sliding the magnet(s) over the opposite side if SM's feet. If you put them in place directly the magnets will click together with some force, and may not end well for the glass sandwiched in between. Sliding is the preferred method for putting the magnets together and taking them apart, and the plastic covered magnets won't scratch the glass.

That's a great looking Spider-man display TheSensationalSean.

Thanks for all the ideas guys. Now this is something I need to do to my JL Spiderman !!

I assume the joints can hold the figure OK. There's not much additional weight from clothing etc I guess.

You have a 1/6 Jim Lee Spiderman?! Pics, please.

Thank you! I tried to infuse it with as much variety as possible. Part of me wants to track down Harry and Electro, for a villain shelf.
