- Hello Super Friends. I get requests from people asking to see this or that custom Batman from time to time so I figured today I'd throw together a simple video sharing my collection of Custom Kitbased Batman action figures based on Mattel body bucks. I'm not the greatest but I try my best and I sure hope it encourages others to try customizing figz too.

I’m jealous of folks that can customize, major props to you!
You definitely make customs look like fun.
3:32, goddamn that looks soooo clean. That is such a good custom! It looks so good Brad be very very proud of your work! This is a figure everyone should have.
The killing joke custom is awesome
Never occurred to me to make Killing Joke Batman articulated. I used that cape on that buck with a Jim Lee head and Direct belt to make a HUSH Mattel Batman instead. Except my cape was technically taken from Hugo Strange Unmasked. Still looks awesome.
It looks quite amazing, and is pretty easily made if you don't change out the torso piece from the PB Bats body.
I really liked the Batman part with Batman Batman but the Batman that was Batman with a bit of Batman also really helped add to the bat of the Batman’s Batman Batman
OMG Batverse ♥
I love the toy biz custom
12:17 reminds me of Mike Mignola's artwork, great job on all of these Brad! 😁
12:48 ALSO LOOKS AMAZING , MY SECOND FAVORITE.
I wishsomebody woukd make a video like this for spiderman legends
DUDE these all look sick. The only thing I've done thats kind of a kitbash was when I head swapped the "zip line batman's" head and put it on the tactical justice league batman figure. Awesome work!
I really liked your 1989 Batman with custom cape. Pls consider trying the head from the Mattel Arkham City Batman. The lips are more Keaton-esque.
The Total Heroes Bats was a surprise. I dig the result. I have a lot of fondness for the Total Heroes Batman, anyhow.
Amazing work! Unbelievable effort!
The sewn cape method looks pretty nice. Kinda wanna try it out sometime.
Man you're really good at this. I'd love to try it but I'm afraid of wrecking my figures!
This is such an awesome collection. Really shows how great some of the parts out there are, just not given the right love. Some of these I want to copy.
Nice work !!!
Inspiring! I found that spandex cloth makes for good capes. They're thin enough, and drop evenly around the shoulders. :)
I love the jim lee batman 1 and 2 . I screwed up a few batman figures using the same body type and a SECRET head batman. Lol . Dude really great work on all of them .
Nice ideas man, sweet collection 🏆🏆🏆
I like seeing your custom Batman and Supermans. I’ve done a few myself. I tend to do a dark blue and Medium Grey with an oval emblem.
custom made cloth cape was cool
Great video
No bad Batman nice job
Lots of great customs Brad! 5:00 I don't know why, but a solid bat with blue cowl and black trunks looks so good imo. 9:02 I like that method! It makes the cape and cowl more seamless like we see in comics and animation. 11:47 looks quite nice too; I wish Batman kept the purple cape after Rebirth, it just pops so well!
I really enjoy seeing your custom Batman figures. I'm currently working on my own Batman figure. The body I'm using is the Mattel Batman Legacy black and gray outfit Batman. Both the head and cape are from the DC Direct Batman Incorporated Batman. But, I'm looking to replace his gloves with the DC Collectibles Greg Capullo Batman.
The Batman with the wired cloth cape, the head sculpt looks like the Watchmen’s Owlman.
Hey Brad, I just curious as to how you would go about making a custom cloth cape for a total hero’s Batman figure, the one from the three pack with Lex and Superman to be specific. Thanks
Cool
11:30 FAVORITE, ALL ARE GREAT THOUGH.
I'd love a tutorial on how you did that custom cape that goes up all the way under the neck of the head replacing the neck piece.
Had the same spray paint problem, I learned that (as with the streams) you can't cross brands of paint or they will destroy your work
Buy a can of dullcoat (literal name) from hobby lobby or anywhere online. It's actually made for use on just about every plastic since it's designed for models, toys, statues, etc. Give light short bursts from about 8-12" away over whatever you're sealing or just flattening the shine on. Does wonders for figures making them instantly look more high end. Those cans of matte "acrylic" clear coat/sealer they sell in the craft sections of stores like Walmart and target are horrible on most plastics causing a chemical reaction( it's actually really toxic even though all you'll really notice is it making paint soften/run, the weird almost sticky feel after it has dried and slight softening of the plastic) and work better as paint stripper and brush cleaner than anything else.i keep a can of that cheap stuff around for removing old dried on paint from brushes and for removing tiny bits of overspray from things like figures faces using an extremely small amount on a fine detailing brush that's been cut to suit my needs. things like dc collectible figures ear holes, lips,etc.
That was fun! I don't remember the details, but the figure at 11:20 was my favorite. A couple things I was wondering, what do you do for joint pegs if it happens that it was broken or lost somehow? Also, how do you apply paint so that there are no brush marks? If these sound like rookie questions, it's because I am a rookie. I've only done repairs so far.
What paint do you use for the blue on those blue and grey Batman figures
There is a gold can brand(found more in art type stores)of paint that has a great matted clear coat spray can and its works awesome on alot of paints .
I like the killing joke batman
Hello brad, I wanted to ask if you could make a video on your thoughts on the multiverse 4 inch line from a few years ago it was mostly based off the Arkham series of games but there were figures of Christopher reve super man and Michael Keaton Batman as well. Anyways I wanted to know your thoughts on this line if you’ve even heard of it I think it’s super underrated and it’s most certainly one of my favorite lines Mattel has done with the dc license If you’ve read this thank you and have a great day.
Very inspiring I am going to make Young Justice figures later this year all the figures I need are coming in the mail also would you recommend sculpting pieces for the figure
Long Live The Bat
That's a lot of Batmans! Have you thought about making a Superman dressed as Batman figure or vice versa?
Nice! What type of paint do you use to paint these figures?
Brad, quick question. What’s the best way to pop off the head of the DC Essentials Knightfall Batman. Going to try and put on a custom cape. Thanks!
Also, do you make any customs to sell? I would be very interested in a Neal Adams Batman.
5:00 what superman figure did you use for the head
👍🏿👋🏿👍🏿👏🏿😁😀❤
Awesome customs are you looking forward to the mafex jim lee hush and Frank Miller DKR batmen?
Love the Total Heroes Batman head on the ToyBiz throwback multiverse figure. Was that an easy swap? I’m afraid of it sitting too high or the ball peg being too large.
hey bro where do you find all the batman dc superhero figure body's im just trying to get a normal new or used one i cant find them anywhere please respond
We have more to ad
13:55 Is the Multiverse '89 Batman the same as the Grayson Batman earlier at 13:08, where underneath the collar/neckpiece is a peg and not a whole neck? Cuz I was hoping to give it a new upper torso, particularly the Multiverse Nightwing's.
If you don't buy dull coat designed for models/figures and try and use those cheap clear coat cans they sell at places like Walmart, thinking it should be okay because it's acrylic you're going to ruin whatever you spray it on. Not only will it make the paint run, feel sticky and never dry on the figure you spray it on, it also causes a chemical reaction that's toxic. Get yourself some fine tipped gundam pens or equivalent from testers, model masters, etc for fine drawn on details, a set of primary color acrylics from one of the mentioned companies, a bottle of basic flesh tone, old make up your wife,gf,etc doesn't use anymore and a can of spray dull coat and you're good to go. Oh and a pack of toothpicks. One last tip, for simple soft good items like t-shirts and basic pants, Barbie doll clothing sets are your friend. They're only a few bucks a pack, fit 1/12 figures great and are made to handle a little bit more wear and tare. People paying 30 bucks for plain pants or a tshirt for an action figure are wasting their money. Get creative.

Can't believe you put a MEZCO cape on a Mattel figure, that's an insult to mezco lol
Eh, it's not like he doesn't also have MEZCOs that are relatively unchanged. Besides, I can see him being more into the proportions of some of the mattel figures, on account of MEZCO makes everyone a bit Wolverine-shaped, all stumpy.
Mezco sucks
@@JoeyBcollects why do you think that?
@@liammatthews1701 they look horrible lol. Stumpy, giant heads, clothes are too baggy, and worst of all, they redesign the character designs adding stupid paneling and armor and other stuff to make them look more real. And that ruins the character designs in my opinion
I always wanted to customize my figures but, I’m afraid to ruin them.
I like Frank Miller’s writing....love what he done with Sin City. His look of Batman was just weird looking to me. He looks bloated in the face....but believe me I know what he was trying to go for. Plus, Ben Afflect Batman I’m skeptical still.
Brad im not sure if this from a public forum or not. I've tried to reconcile with you before
So superman's next right?
That's a lot of custom batmen lol
Just gonna be honest here, the only custom I’d do to a figure is giving the Batman legacy Modern Age Batman a standard DCUC black cowled Batman head, that’s it though
What kind of paint to you use and how the heck to you remember where the parts come from, yeah i know, you know your stuff ;p...... Bob's your uncle, thats so north london.... ontario ;)
He is gracious enough to share his tactics. Unfortunately, it may take some 'sacrificial lambs' to practice on or pilfer parts from. And that means spending money on multiples of figures.
Where is the rebirth figure from the thumbnail.
Also could you do a video on your DC direct/collectibles/ or whatever the hell they're called now kitbashes
Brad I need your help I’m looking for a special addition green arrow . I just got cheated on eBay and I want it bad I’ll send you a picture of it if I can . Can you tell me the series it came from so I can track it down
Why do companies use rubber capes so much? I prefer cloth.
It should be cheaper for cloth aswell
