I would just resculpt the chin down (make it longer, like Jay Leno!) so it looks like her mouth is open. With the creature coming out of her mouth, you should not need much detail on the lips.

Thanks. Ideas are easy, getting what you need? Not so much.

Which is why I have so many unfinished customs around, LOL

I don't feel alone then. Thanks. l

It can be frustrating! I desperately need a Magnus Greel body (among other things) but can't find one for a decent price. There was one in the trade forum the other day but by the time I saw the listing it was sold. :X

Rock Krusher C.O.P.S.


Luke Skywalker Dagobah Long Star Wars ESB Hasbro Kenner

Cops 'n' Crooks figures are 6 inches - roughly the same as Doctor Who.

Star Wars are 3 3/4 inches - the same as GI Joe.

Likely. Have not seen their heads, but I have seen people use the Winders as headless monks.

I a. Thinking more winder now myself. Time will tell. Still need to buy paint. I was in a craft store but had no money.

anyone know if there are any male figures wearing a green t shirt?

anyone know what kind of figures look like german guards but aren't actually them? have a custom in mind.

anyone have a spare could you take off the tenth doctor's long coat and then sell it to me? i know odd request. lol but i know i wouldn't know how to remove the coat myself.

thanks.

Can someone give me step by step instructions on how to remove the long coat from an 10th Doctor? Thanks.

1. Rotate arms so they are pointing behind the figure.

2. Pull the coat off onto the arms. Keep pulling.

3. Very shortly, the coat will come off into your hands.

4. Now, don't you feel proud of yourself?

I'd assume the standard one. I've never removed the 11th Doctor's coat, though. I'd imagine it'd be like removing the 10th Doctor's coat, but it has more spots to plug it into the figure. Then the 10th Doctor's coat would slip on over it, hiding those holes.

Note that the texture on the 11th Doctor's coat sleeves doesn't match the 10th Doctor's coat. You could use compound or modelling putty to smooth it out, or use a mat knife or razor blade to cut the texture off. *RECOMMENDED ONLY IF YOU HAVE A STEADY HAND.*

Alternately, you could be really adventurous and swap the 10th Doctor's arms on him to match. However, I've yet to swap arms successfully (or even attempt it), so you should really be sure you know what you're doing.

Or if all else fails, wait for CO to get their **** together and release one.

you know as soon as I go through all this they WILL make one. You know that don't you? Then I'm gonna feel like a ****!!

also thanks for info. really need to buy paint. ugh!

Remember,buy good quality paint. Nothing will ruin a custom more than cheap paint.

Ok thanks If I can all colors I need one shot then yay. Lol

Either a small bit of plastic,or cover the eye with putty and sculpt it.

Thanks once I buy another doc with long hair I am doing this. Time will tell.

how do you remove the 11th doctor's coat?

Pull. Maybe dip it in a mug of warm water.

Not for the faint of heart.

If you don't want the coat, just cut it off.

I have one that I am willing to trade.

can i use a nail file thing to file down the 10th Doctor's head? After I take off his jacket I have something in mine. Just want to know first before doing so. Thanks. Hopefully I will have it today so I got something to do.
