Okay, so right from the start, I didn't like the look of the DX12 ab straps (as well as the straps between ribs). Here they are on the real suit:
They are a deep black, and they are pretty subtle. However, on the DX12, they are a grey - lighter than the abs themselves, which makes them pop - plus they are shinny. They draw your eye, and I had to do something about it. This comparison is crap, because I didn't think to take a flash "before" pic. Anyway...
All I did was paint the straps with a flat black acrylic. They are darker and reflect less light, meaning they are more subtle, which makes me happy. I know it's not a major change (and I suspect most can't even see what I did), but I like it. As you can see, I fixed that white spot on his lower right ab as well.
Here's a flash "after" pic:
To compare it to the stock DX12, look at the color of the leg plates. The straps are now that color on my figure, instead of grey.
Big part of why I passed on the 1/4 offerings so far...that and I'm poor and lack adequate display space.
, and to my amazement its real good, looks fantastic.The modded v1 neck fits, the dx02 boots, the hands, the belt didn't but I have already one on the way. The gauntlets also fit but the color doesn't match to rest of the body so I'll get some ordered, but to my surprise the batpack from the dx02 fits perfectly, it went in real easy and clicked in to place contrary to what I read in this thread.
