    FTC customized 6" / 7" Robin, 66 Batman:CTVT molded gloves & boots fit great on teens

    A relativley quick custom. I simply switched the hands and feet with hot water to soften the extemites, and discovered the ankle and wrist pegs adapt easily to the teen-scale. With a dremel, a rubber washer & glue, I lengthened Robin's torso slightly (because IMO, the midrift sat too deep into the pelvis compared to an original Lion Rock / Teen Titan body). The dremel opened the teen neck hole (because I did not make the time to shrink the head to teen scale; it took me 2 weeks to shrink Alfred's head down to the right size with 1-hour on, 2-3 days off acetone baths). The inner teen FTC tray works great for display (Robin's knees are bent to secure his shoulders and heels into the tray). His boot tops are shaped between boiled water and a freezer.

                A lean 8” Alfred Pennyworth action figure Recipe: Acetone-shrunken FTC head (1 hour soak, 2-3 days dry; re-soak on & off for 2 weeks); head’s centre re-aligned for more symmetry (eyes, nose; left ear brought forward); highlight The Farrow’s original facial features and hairline sculpt; finer Megoesque

                      Very cool pics, but my one beef about Alfred is why FTC dressed him with Joker looking pants? I would have thought
                      just plain solid black or gray color pants would have been better?
