USB Powered Collectibles - HT Iron man, War Machine, Batman, Botpod, etc

Hi,

This is my first post in this section, but I'd like to gauge interest for conversion of figures or collectibles that uses batteries to USB power. I have done a few of these conversions on my own figures and have routed the wires as clean as possible. Please see my links below for pics and videos.

I have also done the batman DX02 Figure stand and Batpod conversion to USB.

Please let me know if interested, I was thinking of either having customers send theirs in or I will buy the figures, converting them and shipping them out. Turn around time would be about a day.

This conversion mod will enable USB power and remote switch for convenience. Additionally the figures can be unplugged from their power source and wires hidden when wanting that stock look.

Impressive.

Very impressive, and something I've been very interested in.
What would a conversion job like this cost?

 

[butters149]

It would ultimately depend on the figure and what you want (remote switches), but as far as the Iron Man stuff, I am thinking of charging $75 with labor and parts (without the remote switch).

This would include the USB cable so all you need to do is plug it into a USB power source such as a computer or an apple iPhone wall plug.

How much with remote switch?

 

[butters149]

with switch, it would add about $20.

is the articulation affected with the customization?

Very good idea and realisation! How much would the Batman stand conversation cost?
