I really dig Fennec Shand as a character. When I got the Vintage Collection figure of her, she looked so...odd. Distorted. So I decided to see how I could make her taller.

I used the thigh and upper legs from the Selina Kyle (Zoe Kravitz )figure from The Batman movie, and they were a perfect fit. I just used Fennec's lower legs...and viola! She looks proportional!

I also gave her a leg holster. And a removable helmet...something I wish Hasbro included, instead of swapable heads.

Here's a comparison shot of how her new height compares to her old, and next to Boba.

Easy fix and makes her appear much more accurate. I always did think she looked kinda short in TVC. Great job!

I was actually quite happy with the height and quality of Hasbro's version. But now that I see your upgrade, I think it makes sense. I also got two from TungHori to display both - one with and the other without helmet. I might have a third one, so I will see if I can customize one as well.
Thanks for the heads up! Your modified Fennec does look better next to Boba.

Add: I just checked and recognized that I do have this Selina Kyle figure! I found it some time ago for 3€ at a dollar store.

I really like the green hood for your lawn Luke by the way!

I bought extras of that Selena Kyle figure since they were so cheap. I’ll definitely do this! Great job!

Which helmet looks better?

The original on the left.....or the Retro Collection Bo Katan's head... on the right?

I like the one on the right, but have no real reason. Both look good.

Vintage Collection Darth Maul [page 16]
« Reply #234 on: November 17, 2023, 09:14:17 AM »
Hey guys!

I decided to make my own definitive version of the Vintage Collection Maul. There's quite a few things this figured needed in terms of improvement. Bendable wrists, a better head sculpt, swap-able hands, and swivel thighs, plus a small magnet so I could attach his hilt to his belt. Here's how he turned out!

Head: VC201 Maul
Body & upper arms: VC86 Maul
Lower arms: VC232 Imperial Gunner
Hands & gloves: Zorro Hero H.A.C.K.S.
Upper Legs: VC264 Luke Skywalker (Imperial Light Cruiser)
Lower Legs: VC86 Maul

Enjoy!

Maul needed a few more things to make him my "definitive".

IMO the Sith Accessory pack has the best Maul soft goods robe. The other little accessories are a nice little touch.

I like the size of the Retro eye-slit, but the retro style range finder just doesn't work for TVC.

That's amazing amounts of articulation. Great mix of parts on this!
