Let's Talk Custom Parts! (Patreon)

This pair of figs came with five independent custom parts… or in my case, only four…

The masked head is neat, but all three of the headpieces are SUPER tight. Like at one point the thought crossed my mind to grab some electrical pliers to help me remove one of the hair pieces! Needless to say I got a little nervous when I started to disassemble them out of the package thinking they may have been fused together like a citizenbrick part!

Not to mention, I’m bummed that this happened to my specific copy… but I got two of the same hair pieces! One was supposed to be a swooshed back shape for sticking your head out of a moving car or hanging off the side of a building (ya know… like in the moooovie) but nope… two of the same piece!

I tried to get in contact with MiniMocha (the reseller from Hong Kong that sold the fig to me) but I never got a response… I guess this means I don’t get to claim that I truly reviewed this entire figure in the end :P

The custom duffle bag was also a pretty neat part too! Using this thin neck bracket on just the back of the head helps to keep the bag in place over just one shoulder. It’s subtle enough that you don’t notice it in most photos. Also can we just take a moment to talk about the little zippers on the bag?! They are so tiny!!!

Ahhh!

Finally the gun is a bit weird… it had more of an Action Figure sort of quality to it, compared to something that could have been more lego-like. Though I think that might come down more to personal taste than anything. I’d rather a more lego-looking brickarms situation, but the one we got with these two figs fits the “hyper detail” of the rest of the ensemble so... it's a toss up.

At the end of the day though, they fit right in with some of my other Dark Knight figs and the "Vest Joker" looks absolutely incredible next to the Phoenix Customs Batman from a few years back!
