Target 3-Pack Captain America Bod Mod (Marvel Legends) Custom Action Figure
Custom #:68079
Name:Target 3-Pack Captain America Bod Mod
Custom Type:Action Figure
Toy Series:Marvel Legends
Creator:UltraZoffy  
Date Added:November 28, 2014
Base Figure:Target 3-pack ML Cap, DCUC Green Lantern
Height:6.00 inches
I bought several of the Target 3-pack exclusives specifically to use as fodder, but after staring at the Cap in that set so much, I got tired of looking at the undersized torso on his otherwise decent sculpt. Kit bashed a DCUC John Stewart Lantern upper torso directly onto the Cap lower torso to add some protein to Cap's build, then modded the DCUC shoulder balls to fit the Legends Cap arms. Painted him up, added a styrene star symbol on his chest, and magnetized his shield and boots. I'm so happy with the result that I'm going to start popping the DCUC upper torso and shoulders onto my already completed and future customs using this base body!

Nice choice! I really like DCU's way to making shoulders broad for the male figures. Wide shoulders always look so darn cool.

Great work Zoffy, love the proportions, and the best is DCUC bases are easy to come by. The blue is dead on - which brand did you use? I would attempt this but the shoulder/bicep thing is throwing me off No idea what you mean.
Also, how's the paint holding up in the legs? If I'm to repaint mine, I cba to sand down the hips. What a pain in the ass.

Wow, great idea. You make it sound simple. Was it a pain to do?

Thanks for the comment! As long as you are comfortable cracking figure bodies open, it is a pretty straight forward mod. Maybe the only semi complicated step was modding the DC shoulders; I basically cut the joint pegs off the Cap shoulder balls, cut the DC shoulder pegs off at just the right height, then glued the Cap pegs on. The DC torso is also a tight fit on the Legends abs, so you might also want to lightly sand the sides of the ab section down a bit to make the ab crunch a little easier to swivel.
