The comments on my last Hammerhead custom all agreed that the Endgame Joker body was too skinny for Hammerhead (thank you for all those comments, by the way!). When I found a Select Jim Gordon cheap at my local Toy shop I got him as it's a stockier suited body. He's also much more articulated, which is a bonus. I shortened the neck and the neck peg and just used a glue gun to bulk up the ball peg so the head fits nice and snug and can still move around. At the moment I'm happy as he is - I think he should be shorter (he's about the same height as the Hyperion mould Venom figure when he should be about the same height as Spider-man I think) and also it would be nice to have pinstripes - but I've got to practice my painting and sculpting a lot more before I start thinking about shortening limbs or torsos and all that sort of thing! Still - if anyone has any good ideas on how I might do those things best, do let me know, and maybe one day we'll see Hammerhead version 3...

I'm not really looking to become a professional customiser or anything, but I always want to be able to improve, so if you like something about the way I've done a custom, please tell me so I can do that more. And if you think I could have done something better, tell me, and if you've got suggestions on how to improve I'd love to hear them!!

Nice! I always thought the Gotham figures would be too big for the ML heads but it works great! Theres a Hugo Strange that was just released that has a pinstripe suit but I think hes skinnier than Gordon.

Thanks! I often watch Shartimus Prime's video reviews if I can, he measures all of the figures he reviews with a constant Big Time Spider-man figure so you can work out how tall figures are even without seeing them in person. Hugo Strange is probably closer to the right height but he's not much stockier than Spider-man, and I wanted a bigger build. I saw this one in person and thought it would just about fudge into scale height-wise, and maybe with more practice I can one day make him shorter. I saw one customiser (more talented than me!) on the fwoosh forums and they'd used a Gotham Penguin and then also swapped the arms and shortened the torso and repainted, and that looked really good!
