Trimmed Batman's cape down and added new lower legs for a little more height. The cape rides a little high on the neck because I haven't commited to glueing it to the shoulders yet.

Here is Constrictor converted to the Joeverse.

I like both, very well done.

The Constrictor in the Joe verse is awesome and looks way better than what we got at retail, nice thinking.

Both look great. I'm starting to consider tackling Batman in joe scale, would love to hear what your recipe was.

I'm really liking Batman from the neck down, but that head just doesn't quite work for me. I think it's some combination of the facial expression and how low it appears to ride. Could also be the cape throwing it for me. that seems to sit too high off the shoulders. Of course, I've never cared for cloth capes on figures at this scale and rarely have I seen one that doesn't have some inherent issues. Otherwise a great figure, though.

The Cobra Constrictor is very clever. A natural fit, especially given the idea of the Coils Crusher we had a few years back with VvV. The color cange and new parts really do mke him feel like an entirely new character. Nice work.

I agree I think when ever I get a constrictor I will make him part of the IG's or make my own. Great work on both.

Once I glued the cape down, it resolved most of the neck issues.

Batman is pure win. That head is ...bar none..the BEST batman head I've seen on a custom. It really captures that Frank Miller style batman look perfectly. The longer legs an cape are updrades over the 1.0 version as well. You need to definately comit to this cape and glue it down. Great stuff. As for the constricter nice work as well. Seems like a great fit for the joeverse.

Cobra Constrictor is inspired. I dig that one a ton.

Batman is sleek and cool. I don't see a pic yet with the cape glued down, but it doesn't surprise me that doing so solved any issue posed by the way the head appears on the neck. I like that Batman looks like a mean SOB, but you have an issue with this head similar to the issue I have with my Bats - it would be hard to envision a Bruce Wayne that would match that face and still be the good looking playboy type.

But I've gotten past that hang up with mine, because I like the head well enough, and the same is true here.

You make me want to move my Batman from planning to WIP stage. I like it. The facial expression is a bit much, but otherwise he's awesome.
