    Build N' Brawl wrestling figures head swaps onto GI Joes???

    Yeah, that's a drawback of some of the BnB heads. They're like watermelons on top of Joe bodies. Generally, those work best on bigger bodies, like Sarge and Bobby Lashley. Both of those are on the Benchpress/Roadblock bodies, so they fit a lot better.

    Build N' Brawl wrestling figures head swaps onto GI Joes???

    YES! Bobby Lashley. I think I had to shave off some facial hair and paint on some others, but I didn't do anything to the head besides that. It's a pretty great RB. Yeah, the head's got a weird metal connector piece that connects the neck to the head. It's actually a pretty good design, I wish...

    Hey Jesse, it has been YEARS since I sculpted, and there's no way in shit I can sculpt 1:1 like KREXX or the other sculptors and have decent heads as a result, but I've been procrastinating about breaking out my Greenstuff and trying my hand at doing any involved sculpting, like a scratch-built...

    Build N' Brawl wrestling figures head swaps onto GI Joes???

    I don't think they all need to be Dremeled out, though. I think I just popped on both my Sarge and (Roadblock? What the hell is the guy's name?) heads after pulling them off the BnB bodies. of course the BnB necks have an extra joint, so you need needle-nose pliers, but I think once I popped off...

    Build N' Brawl wrestling figures head swaps onto GI Joes???

    That would be a good Chuckles head. I don't see it so much for my vision of Duke, but it doesn't not work for Duke. I don't know this dude's name, but I bought him over 2 years ago because I didn't like the Resolute Roadblock head.

    For the most part, I think black, tan, or OD green would be a good webgear base. The only thing I can foresee casting in a lighter color would be anything used for arctic gear?

    I've given up caring. If I pick up one of each of the gray Duke and the green Shipwreck, I'll make the two customs I intend to make out of the two. If not? Meh.

    The Dollar General Duke webgear in black and/or brown. (Belt and shoulder harness.) I've been waiting to pick up a DG Duke in the gray deco just so I could steal the webgear for a proper Zap, but I want a black base (don't wanna paint the brown one and have paint wear) but that damned gray...

    I think Morelock's fallen in love with Mr. Obi! :D Actually, of all the casting outlets I've dealt with, I'd prefer Obi to send stuff to Jesse or Angelforge, but Jesse seems to be more in the "repro"/mod category, while Angelforge seems to do more entirely-unique sculpts. But yes, Obi's stuff...

    Haha. No HT-level bannhammer modding, but people posting stuff like "Jesse, I PMed you about my order" are redundant, and we've already got 2-3 other threads for that. Of all the casters, Jesse seems to be one of the better ones in getting back to folks and discussing stuff with civility, and...

    I made an edit to the first post. Any comments made asking about orders will be deleted to keep this on track (I know, we're infamous for derailing, but there are 2 other TJ threads for feedback/discussion and a third for general "FYI"/warning posts about casters in general). There are plenty of...

    BTW, that color you two are using for spoiler text doesn't work for shit. :D

    Marvel: Phase Two

    Gah, I don't know why I read spoilers. I read the plot synopsis on Wikipedia. Sorta surprising twist, but a letdown for folks who were excited to see a certain baddie. At least it's not what I expected them to do. And those cheeky bastards, cutting the trailer the way they did! Clever girls. A...

    Marvel: Phase Two

    Meh, not interested in DC, not looking to get started now. If they're making them cool, then kudos to them. But as they stand in my mind, DC characters suuuuuck. :thumbsup:

    Marvel: Phase Two

    That's a sad statement. Although Stephen King is known for horror, and the best films made from his books are dramas, not horror. Shawshank and Green Mile are two of my favorite films. And I'd consider them great films. Don't get me wrong, his horror shit is creepy as hell. IT absolutely...

    Marvel: Phase Two

    Superman gets a pass as he's the original Superhero. He's the archetype, so he's always going to have that. I think the story is intriguing, as it's a simple one. They just keep fucking it all up, and haven't made a really good Superman movie yet. That's why I'm hoping for a good "Man of Steel"...

    Cool. Mind if we rename one, or both? The titles may be a tad confusing, although they're fairly straightforward. They actually confuse me when I click on them to see the replies. Maybe we edit the first post from the old one, since it shows that it's intended for submissions? Or we move that...

    Did you forget how awful Ghost Rider 1-2 were, nacho? Or just block them from memory? DC's just uninteresting as fuck. Besides Supes and Batman, they've got nothing.

    So should we lock the old thread? Comment away, I can edit it all back out! :D
