I don't do this very often, but here is another simple head swap. I really like the sculpt of both the New52 Batman and Superman figures from Mattel so I decided not to redo these two characters on Marvel Legend bucks. However, like Superman, Batman came with a very small head. I replaced it with a Batman head cast I bought from the casting cave. Not sure which head it is, but I like the size a lot better.

COOL! I was never really too concerned about getting the DCUC New 52 Bats and Supes but after seeing your mods I think I might try to track some down Lol . Great job!

Nice figure! The smaller than normal DCUC body works perfect with the Marvel Legends imo, since Batman should be bigger than Nightwing and Red Hood. The head is from the Superman/Batman series 6: Enemies Among Us series from DC Direct based on the art of Ethan Van Sciver.

Thanks Ben. I knew that if anyone would know which head it was, it would be you . I Usually prefer smaller ears on Batman, but this one fit the best size-wise.

Lol, guilty. It's hard to argue your statement when I have a New52 and a pre-New 52 Batmen as my current projects

I agree with you on the ears, but I flip flop on these as well. At one point in time, the head you used was one of my favorites, now it usually turns out I pick something that looks like a Jim Lee drawing.

Great head choice either way, I agree that the DCUC Batman heads tend to look to small and the same can be said about the DCC heads, but DCC heads on DCUC bodies look perfect to me imo.

I am also finding that both DCC and DCUC heads work pretty well with bucky cap also. I also agree with your earlier statement that the DCUC new52 batman is the pefect size for displaying with ML ex-Robin's (I.e. Nightwing and Red hood).. the size differential (imo) is perfect.

Cool. Still would have liked to see Bats on the Bucky Cap base though.

Lol. I went back and forth on both Superman and Batman. Part of me wanted to take a crack at both of them on ML bodies, however, I thought Bucky cap was a little too small for them, and I'm not super comfortable using the Grim Reaper buck yet. At the end of the day, I really do think that the sculpts on the new52 Mattel figures are really well done. They also made these figures a little smaller (less barrel-chested) than the other DCUC's and the size of them was exactly what I was looking for when scaling against other DC characters like Flash, Green Lantern, etc.... so ultimately decided to just fix the small heads and use the DCUC's.
