(please lock if in wrong place etc.)
does anyone know/think that the figs are designed in a way that you can customize them? (obviously not designed for customisation)... i mean,are the arm/head/hands designed in a way that your able to swap them?
i'm not really a customizer, but i do often do the headswaps do get the figs to my perfect liking...i know the figures aren't made for this, but i hope that you can do that with them.
thanks.

I've seen some pretty bad ass customes of the DC Universe figures before, so I can't see why not. The only thing I've heard that might be an issue is that the elbow/knee pads are design to stay on the figure.

They won't be nearly as swappable as Jakks were, but with some work it can be done for sure.

For simple parts swaps their DCSH/DCUC are fairly easy to swap heads, upper arms, elbows, hands, knees and ankles so I'd bet these will as well. But anything is cusomizable if you really try.

I hope they are. I enjoy doing head swaps to get the figure just right. Same with switching hands & boots.

I highly doubt that unless you're talking about how everything was so the same with jakks that you could swap anything with out making much of a difference, but other wise, DCU figures have been easier to swap and customize then Jakks ever has. |

im thinking that the new elite mattel figs should be customizable with the toybiz ones which would be awesome

I've broken basic pieces on DCUC figures trying to swap parts
Not to mention how the elbow and knee joints are insanely hard to get back into proper placement.
With Jakks, all heads will fit onto all bodies, all arms can be switched around, elbows, hands, boots, torsos (minus the fat one).

I actually look foward to doing many different customs for these. some I may actually keep. But like i'm doing with my DAs, I plan on making these look as factory as possible. hopefully.  |

I say the customizble is less then 30% compare to jakks 100% customizble.

Probably not as much since parts are specific, the tight pads and so forth but heads should be easily swapped.

i got the first set of figures so ill give my little bit of insight. a lot of the parts look like they work similar to jakks. there are pegs in the joints that cant be pushed out and stuff. the boots turn too so maybe people can even switch just the boots. the pads are tight which could be a problem for customizers. it looks like the only way to get the pads off would be to cut them. however ralph makes really good pads. those could be a good replacement. maybe they arent as customizable as jakks cuz jakks basicly reused parts over and over but im sure the customizers here will have no problem with their imaginations
