    Superfriends Series 6 on S-types (except Braniac and Sinestro)

    Well my wave arrived and the conversion was somewhat a pain,but successful on 2 figures. Brainiac I wanted to transfer, but with the legs skin tone,I have no choice.

    Sinestro is the most awful figure of the entire line because of the crappy skinny body (and yes it's worse than the female body).I attempted a mod on the S-type and it would work after the body gets modded thinner,but Sinestro looks amazing on the S-type,but I could not make it work for the suit to fit.What was FTC thinking using that garbage thin body for him??? Would of been a perfect Sinestro (with the exception of the fist with ring that he should of gotten like GL did). Scarecrow also uses the crappy thin body,but I was able to fit his clothes

    Anyway here is some pics

    NICE! They all look fantastic - the Type S body is such boon to customizing like this. Love those figures, Teemu!
    "It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double tongues. There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see, and so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life."

      I have these in hand, although much critizied , I feel they look mostly good. Brainiac does have that big repurposed head from the earlier Superman series release Luther but the costume is nice. Sinestro is in scale, missing his ring though. Luther's head is in scale, nice new sculpt and great costume. Scarecrows head is in scale and I really like the cloth hat. These seem to fit in well with the other Superfriend releases. According to the back of the card art, there are just a few left, Black Manta, Giganta, Grood, Solomon Grudy, and Hawkman. I am hoping these will be manufactured.

        Like always...You did an Amazing Job transferring them to S-Type bodies. Now they look more legit.

            That figures! One of the things we most request...Just how bad is he? Are we talking "He makes thier earlier India made bodies look good" bad? Or are we talking it's "Bad but if you basically want to rebuild a body its a good starting point" bad?

            Good thing I stocked up on a lot of Type-1 AJ bodies then...those make for the best skinny people customs IMHO.

              ^I'd say the latter, but I didn't really want to rebuild a body.

              I'm wondering of it can be combined with a T1.

                Sinestro is not in scale on that skinny body (trust me) and he looks more in scale and amazing on the S-type...the problem is the suit!

                The skinny body is an unposeable piece of garbage. They need to stop using it. They ruined Sinestro by putting him on it

                  Maybe use a Mattel Sinestro bodysuit?

                    looking at that option,but it's so different in design....I feel like it would look off in comparison to the other SF counterparts

                              Just got superfriends #6 .lex is the best.but their all quite nice.if braniacs head was a normal size he would have been great.sinestro and scarecrow also suffer from gigantism but not as bad as poor braniac.and when they do another version with a cured head ill get that one.
