I wanted to post these mods I did to Daredevil.
It pissed me off for over a year I was trying to convince myself I was ok with this thing. With his skinny fat physique, neckless bobblehead and his utterly ridiculous Depends. But season 3 gave me some inspiration to look at him again for the first time in ages. That and TA parting out the thing, I'm thinking; how the hell are they getting the suit off?
So I just got over myself and went at the damn thing and pulled off the suit! Took a lot of patience and inching it little by little but it came off and also went back on OK. (with the exception of the waist being stretched that popped right back into original shape when I hit it with a hairdryer. All the mods I made, I can actually revert back to the original figure 100 percent if I ever needed to.
credit goes to Freak member Gipetto0812 who had the idea to put it on a HT Deadpool body.
In fact this is the only option, that body along with Daredevil is tight jointed and engineered specifically to hold poses with the resistance of the plastic bodysuit. But the thing is that I felt he was still not quite the right build for Daredevil. So what I did was I dremeled the arms and shoulders, traps and and back lats down to fit his physique more accurately.
Finally I swapped the knees and below with the daredevil legs to ensure his height went back down shorter as it should be and the ankles fit properly, and I opened the backs of the bodies to swap out the deadpool neck ball plug with the original daredevil ball plug. this raised his neck ball almost level with his traps, which made it just the perfect height when the suit was put back on. I was elated as that was my number one beef with the figure (his stumpy neck).
I also stuffed a bit of cotton in the front of his pants, it's not really needed though. I just thought there had to be a reason why HT gave him Depends. Spoiler alert... there's not.
All said and done I now love the figure. HT really needs to invest in more /better bodies and not cheap out and re use the same crap, and a fat suit for a figure like this is a terrible idea. He's going to inevitably look, well, fat.
Very good work!!

I did read what you wrote and the paragraph where you talk about it you don't explain anything...all you said was that it took patience and you inched it little by little...that's hardly an explanation.
Not sure what else you’re looking for, as there’s not much else to say... you’re on your own on this one I’m afraid. Good luck.
Thanks for the kind words Heroman15, this body very much withstands the most extreme of poses as the Deadpool bodysuit is made from the same plastic material as this daredevil one!
Great and good luck! Don’t worry about dreaming it super smooth so long as the overall proportions look right the suit won’t show any small bumps in the plastic.
The other thing my photos don’t show is that I took a bit out of his armpit this allows the arms to lay down by his sides more. Something else the original stubby little figure couldn’t do

What does he go for nowadays anyway? I've been thinking of one to pose next to Deadpool. I think they'd compliment each other pretty well.

Maybe like where does the suit come off? Like is it 2 pieces, top and bottom. Or is it a 1 pieces, and you are removing it towards the feet. I can see where the confusion is coming from.
I'm surprised there was no stitching required, I guess the material just stretches enough.
Ray, you got any pictures of DD beside any other figures. I know you changed out the legs to maintain the height, I would just like to see some group shots with the guy.
Also, did you use the 1st or 2nd Deadpool body?

If I have time I'll put him next to someone else. he's the same height as he was before maybe a mm or two taller to accommodate for the longer neck.
I used the Deadpool 2 body they are mostly the same I think.

What does it do?
Ray, can I just drop my DD and a Deadpool body off to you? That looks 1000 times better. Well fuggin done. That said, anyone know if Deadpool 2 body is same as 1? When I have the balls, I’d like to try this.
EDIT: just saw you used DP2 body.

At this point, google it. There will be plenty of videos to explain what it does

CTO15 the pants are almost like a jumpsuit that wraps around the shoulders. That all comes off pretty easy the top is a separate piece which is where its hard to remove!
