FTC Penguin height corrected customized
the too tall FTC Penguin bugged me, along with the off model vest so I fixed those two errors by transplanting the head and most of the clothes to a shorter teen body padded out to make him look like a shorter adult.

Re: FTC Penguin height corrected customized
what body did you use for Catwoman?
Re: FTC Penguin height corrected customized
Mattel 8 inch Cheetah. Much better than FTC's junk female body.

Re: FTC Penguin height corrected customized
Your Penguin upgrades look so much better, especially in the context of the other villains.

yeah, that's on my list, too. I was thinking of buying a spare suit and using some dye remover and then redying with Rit Fusciawally wingert wrote: ↑Sun Jan 28, 2018 10:54 pm Nice! Now it's time to fix the color of that Joker costume.

Re: FTC Penguin height corrected customized
Arrrgh! I couldn't stand it! I just shortened my Penguin's legs.
A few months ago, shortening some Laurel and Hardy legs, to make other customs, was very hard, because their legs were solid. Penguin's legs are hollow (just like real birds!), so I simply cut a chunk from each calf with a bread knife, rejoined the pieces with quickset putty, and shortened the hems on the black trousers. Done!

Re: FTC Penguin height corrected customized
next time you order from FTC get a teen body, it works well, I used the forearms from the original Penguin so the jacket and shirt arms don't need altering. I did have to take up the pants, I may replace them as they are inaccurate, too. Wrong color, should be a very dark grey.
