MRM Medi Batman cowl modded for HT and custom mouth pieces SOLD OUT!

Re: MRM Medi Batman cowl modded for HT and custom mouth pieces.

I know it's kinda too late, but wouldn't it better for MRM to start accepting payment once he have the finalized, painted head placed on a DX12 body? I think it's kinda premature to be accepting deposits since if not properly measured on the width and size of the head, the medi head would look a tad too large.

Plus, pics of the DX 12 mouthplates on the medi cowl if possible. Since I'm sure the size of the cowl opening would somewhat differ from the medicom to the DX.

I think it's better to do this now, rather than dealing with returns and fixing the problems later on if there's any. I'm personally interested in getting 2 of these if it does fit perfectly on the DX 12 :wave

Re: MRM Medi Batman cowl modded for HT and custom mouth pieces.

i'm sending him down my dx head and faceplate also. and more pics will come. personally i find the dx cowl and wayne hs on the small side, and if you've seen the medi cowl on a dx--like shortround's--then i'm pretty sure it's a prefect fit. regardless, he will make it work. and as he already has the cowl cast and carved, i dont know that he is being premature. i dont believe he'll be accepting the rest of payment until the proto is final. not to be argumentative but have seen people take payment in full on things much earlier in the process. but i will talk to him. as far as i know, he plans on having the proto done within 10 days.

Most of medicom head on DX 12 looks too big, because it was adjusted for DX 02, which have a bigger body compared to the DX 12. Shortround's was the perfect size because Elvis mod them to fit the DX 12, and he have the DX 12 body to work on.

I think it would be better if you could send him your DX 12 body so that he can fit the head on it and see if it needs adjustment.

Honestly, I don't know where you get all that from. :dunno

Elvis' mod on ShortRound's medi head did not affect the size of the head at all. It's not like Elvis shrunk it or something like that.:lol In fact, Elvis' mod consisted of making the head wider which would actually make it seem a bit bigger if anything.

In theory then, MRM's modded medi head should be a little bit smaller than the original medi, since the casts tend to come out smaller than the original sculpt during the casting process. It should be the perfect size for those of you who think that the medi head is too big.

When I say DX 02, I meant the medix which thrust master, void etc did actually, since it uses the chest and abs part of the DX 02 which are wider and bigger than the DX 12.

Of course the head need to be widened for both the DX 02/medix and the DX 12. But it should be smaller for the DX 12, and I think it will be hard for MRM to guestimate the width for the head to fit the DX 12 when he don't have the body yet.

I'm not too sure regarding shrinkage in casting process etc, all I'm suggesting is that MRM should finish the finalized sculpt and place it on a DX 12 body so that the buyers can see what they are getting (since most are buying the head for their DX 12) before receiving payments/deposits.

Re: MRM Medi Batman cowl modded for HT and custom mouth pieces.

Would you consider also offering the removable Medicom mouth piece with this? I might be interested if you can show some pics painted up, and some shots of how it looks with (presumably DX-12?) mouth pieces on it.

I agree to all of that in bold. :lecture

Medi mouth piece is my favorite and most Bale like in my opinion. I also like robbie's.

Re: MRM Medi Batman cowl modded for HT and custom mouth pieces.

I've seen MRM's work on the board and I am confident this will come out to my liking. Shortound's DX12 sports a Medicom cowl and it's beautiful.

eace

I'm very curious on how well the modded medi cowl will look with the DX 12 mouthpieces and the BW cut out ones. I hope it looks more like bale than it did on the DX 12 cowl.

Re: MRM Medi Batman cowl modded for HT and custom mouth pieces.

if there is a media mouth piece included, that would be awesome.

Yeah, I've got Robbie's mouth on my stock head, and I'm pretty happy with it. But mostly what I'm interested in is a decent looking, non-PERS Batman head for my figure! I HATE how HT insist on giving the majority of their DX figures worse likenesses in order to provide us with a pretty useless gimmick. If the DX head had painted eyes I doubt I would even consider getting another head now that I have Robbie's mouth.

Re: MRM Medi Batman cowl modded for HT and custom mouth pieces.

I paid in full for both painted and unpainted. Perhaps we could update the list on who's paid in full. I know I will forget since I've already paid for the batcase and laughing bale. Or do I need to make my own notes.

Re: MRM Medi Batman cowl modded for HT and custom mouth pieces.

agree with commtech on this, really dont see where the size of the medi cowl comes into question. medi cowls had to be widened to be at their best and medi figures were a little small compared to HT, to begin with. but for those worried, there will be the final proto pics to gauge from. he will be sending me the cowl when it's completely done and i will be taking pics to post. i dont want to send the full thing down cuz i overnight stuff back and forth to zack and that would be rather expensive--more than it already is--and all this shipping i am doing to help this project out comes out of my pocket cuz i dont have anything to do with the business beyond helping him out with the thread cuz he doesnt have a cpu right now.
and yeah i'm pretty positive he's including a removable version of the medi mouth. that was the original plan for the custom he was doing for me before i suggested he try to sell it en mass, so i dont know why that would've changed. the medi faceplate is the best one so far i think. save for the one done from adam's wayne sculpt.

When I say DX 02, I meant the medix which thrust master, void etc did actually, since it uses the chest and abs part of the DX 02 which are wider and bigger than the DX 12.

Re: MRM Medi Batman cowl modded for HT and custom mouth pieces.

Hey Alexi and MonkeyRobotMaster, like I said, I'm interested.

Previously I said one painted, but I will finally go for two painted ones, though, like others, I'm waiting for painted pics to make my deposit, so can you still add me?

Re: MRM Medi Batman cowl modded for HT and custom mouth pieces.

hi,

i may be interested, but i need to see the final product, painted, with a mouth (with Robie's , it would be great), and on the dx 12 body.
i can't spend that kind of money without knowing exactly what i'm buying.
Will it be too late to reserve one if i wait till the final pics?
do i need to be add now on the list?

and is the price the same for shipping to France?

Thanks!
