Sweet man. Even though I don't think mods are necessary, I'm still curious to what mods can do to this figure.

Too soon for that i think.
Most people also Will probably not do it because of What happened to MOS.
Anyway i think its the same risk here.
Suit is thinner than MOS also.
What repaint are yu doing, suit?
Cool buddy
Wich mod, the MOS silver body/BVS rib mod or the BVS/MOS leg swap mod?
If i can i Will try to do some extra add ons parts for interested fellow freak.
Btw anybody bought a jaxxon cape?
Im really tempted as its wired and Tony is still not making his wire version available.

Only thing I'm repainting is the chest emblem. Already got the base coat on to take out the black outlines now I wait til cape gets here to make sure final coat matches. That with the heat vision sculpt and TM spear....one rocking a** figure

Going to try the leg swap mod first. How did you do it? I am also tempted to get the Jaxxon cape.
I really need to own this movie as well. Definitely need to watch it again..and again....and again....

First be carefull when yu remove the BVS suit, tha cape is inside the chest and is blocked by a clip inside.
Remove as much as yu can of the suit from the body and once yur blocked because of the cape either yu cut it inside if yu can reach it by going trough the shoulder or just cut it from where it Comes out of the body.
Since i ws planning to get a custom cape i didnt care about the hot toys cape.
But if yu cut it well yu Will have no problem to put it back in, just like tony installes his suits (well hot toys copied his technique lol).
Its up to yu.
If yu decided to continue here is what for yu for next.
Remove the rubber muscular add ons from BVS thighs (you Will glue them back on MOS thighs later)
Yu have to remove the rubber around the pelvis, it detaches from under, its glued together and i think also to the pelvis.
Warm it up it Will help. Once its open, warm it up again so yu can move it up on the abs ( its not necessary to remove it completely ) to have access to the screws of the pelvis. Remove the two screws. And remove the pelvis back part.
Here there is two options, either yu can remove the legs from the pelvis without difficulties from the BVS body and yu just swap the legs and not the full pelvis and legs (on my BVS body some glue seems to block me from just swapping the legs only).
If yu cant just for that just swap the whole pelvis and legs from MOS to BVS.
Of course keep each pelvis rubber cover to their respective body (BVS is silver MOS is not).
Dont forget to put back BVS knee joints and ankles (to keep the silver thing going on) and also to glue back the muscular BVS thighs on MOS thighs.
Keep yur hairdryer next to yu, its helpfull for removing the rubber parts (also when yu Will resuit yur BVS warm it everywhere with the hairdryer it Will help it being tighter and fit the body better.
Oh yeah final touch not really needed but hey might as well do it right.
The BVS thighs add ons dont cover the back of MOS thighs nor the big ball like articulations that connect the legs to the pelvis, so yu can paint them silver to keep everything coherent.
Final final touch , i m using long feet pegs on my BVS.
It gives better proportions and reduces the folds of the boots ankles.
And is closer to MOS height
If yu have any question pm me
Take yur time and when in doubt take a pause dont rush in
I talked to jaxxon, and i find his cape very cool but still not sure.
He refining it, i might try tho sinƧe its the only wired cape available and with Pleats.
Could be decent and probably 3 times cheaper than Tonys
Cant wait to see how the chest repaint Will look.
And the rest too

Scroll all the way down for their physical edition if that's what you want. It's what I got.

That's awesome. It's crazy that even shortened, he's still taller than Thor.
I predict that the next Thor figure will end up being similar to this supermans height/scale.

That's awesome!
It's fun to see pictures with figures from different universes interacting and/or fighting.

HAHAHA awesome.
I do wish Thor was a bit taller, though. I'm considering getting this Thor, AoU or CW Cap and the cheapest HT Iron Man figure I can find (damn, all the Iron Man figs are at least $250-$300) so I can have them face off against BvS Supes, BvS Wonder Woman and a DKT Batman (sorry, I like the DKT suit over the BvS suit).

Like a little something like this??
Just wanted to repost my pic
Waiting on the MK45, Cw cap, BvS batman and WW, and a couple of more avengers...
I got an awesome diorama planned...
I tried the BVS body on a MOS suit and the silver of the body also shows with the MOS suit.
The BVS body is too bulky to be used as is on MOS suit tho but one thing from the BVS suit would look awesome on the MOS figure.
The ribs muscles add on.
I removed all the soft rubber add ons from the BVS body (forearms, thighs, ribs) as im planning to make copies to use for future custom superheroes projects(once done i Will just reglue them on).
I have a mos body and suit around so i tested the rib muscle from the BVS body and it looks great.
MOS Supes was leaner but still muscular and ive always found the rib muscles to be missing from the figure.
That area ws Way too smooth. With the add on ribs it looks great.
Im going to paint my MOS body silver and put the rib add on copy im going to make, should be quite cool.
Fun times ahead
Nice to hear that the MOS suit is somewhat transparent. I've been meaning to do that same thing (paint the body silver) ever since I did it to my Faora just haven't had time. Glad someone wen through he trouble before I had to

It'd be cool to see a CW set up with a few of the CW figures, and then add in DCEU characters to each side (Cap and IM) according to which side you think that particular DCEU character would be on based on their beliefs and ideals.
Or have members of the Avengers and JL facing each other.
