Re: Star Wars Black Series discussion

Shin is way too tall. I modified mine to make her not quite as tall. Not perfect, but I like it a lot better now.







Compared to Sabine, she's still slightly taller, but doesn't tower over her anymore.

Re: Star Wars Black Series discussion

I modified the ball joint. The joint is really weird but it's very long. I boiled and popped the torso off and drilled the socket in the torso deeper, almost to her shoulder joints and shoved the peg into the deeper hole. Also used Vel Sartha upper legs to make her even slightly more short.

You can also switch out the thighs with either Koska Reeves, or Sabine Wren's to make her shorter. The skirt hides the detail of the legs if you're just got her posed in a standing position.

Mine is still fully posable, and I didn't want to get more figures to use just the thighs. I already had an extra Vel, and using the Shin thighs on the custom I made works well enough so I don't waste the Vel.

Oh, and the torso on mine is shorter with the mod O did to make proportions better than just swapping the legs. It's more work though.

Picked up the Mandalorian Fleet Commander just now from Gamestop. Missed pre-ordering him so glad I was able to get him in store.

Re: Star Wars Black Series discussion

Got the Mando Fleet Commander yesterday at Gamestop. The guy is tall! He's taller than Baylan. Here's some pics. The helmet on mine fits ok, but is big. The bottom seems slanted to make it stay on his head.





Beside Baylan for comparison


Hard to see, but I never noticed he had a V painted on the front forehead area of the helmet.
