Teen Titans on the way!

[libby 1957dog]

got my titans in today ,over all verry pleased with them ,kid flash had a few problems body wise so i swapped him over to a lion rock body ,i tightened the suits a little by pulling them down and taping them , legs and sleeves ,much happier with the way they look now ,wonder girls head was almost on her shoulders when she arrived ,so popped it off and it sits taller now ,maybe too tall ,lol not sure but i like it better now ,not a geat picture im afraid but it gives you a idea ,i used common or garden masking tape lol

The paintjob on my Aqualad's eyes is pretty bad, he looks like he's been hit with a two by four and can't see straight. Yours is similar ^^

My Aqualad's left eye is less than stellar.

ha ha yeah you got that right ,wondered about swapping it out for one of the the loose heads they sell for customs ,anyone know how the eyes on those are ,

Same with mine. Got my Series 3 Batgirl today and she looks like she got wacked with the same 2x4 as Aqualad. Maybe they were in a scrap with the same baddie and got their a*#@s handed to them?

I did the same thing with my WG. Sitting her head up higher on the neck post makes her look much better. That and a restyle on the bed-head.

That was a GREAT idea! And the best looking pictures of these figures I've seen!!!

Thanks for the images libby .. these kids do look good all together. Nice simple fix on the suits, well done.

Had WG but couldn't find (or bring myself) to pay for the other TT's on cards, so these being released are an absolute bonus I think. I know we'd all like to see some changes done but hey, I think we are still pretty lucky to have anything like these being made now.

Hey guys, if you are hesistant to use tape to help the Titans look as good as Libby did (Lib they Look WAY BETTER! )....look for my pics later that get the same results w/out fear of sticky residue on the outfits. If you like them & don't want to use tape, let me know & I'll post the method, although tape would be quicker & probably/possibly more secure for the long term! Hopefully I'll have the pics done this evening. I'm a little slow at figuring out a simple method for posting on here yet!

Even without pics, can you let us know what you did?

Sure pal!

It's my cure-all for almost all action figure problems w/ short belts, accessories that can't be held (Speddy's BOW w/ his gloved hand, TT short sleeves & leggings, & 1000 other action+n figure problems for play/display...... = CLEAR mini-rubber bands !!!!!

I go in a Family Dollar Store (probably Dollar General & other stores that have multi-ethnic hair products) & BUY a little bag of HAIR RUBBER-Bands (elastics), these are tiny & small for putting on the end of tiny braids or cornrows. They are about $1 but that was years ago (they have hundreds in this bag) & come in BLACK & CLEAR (don't by the the similar yellow/red/blue/green ones they are not smooth & show up obviously). I use them for all my action figure collections, starting w/ when mattel made JLU (Justice League Unlimited) figures & released SHADE w/ his iconinc Cane w/ absolutely 0 hands to hold it! Since then I've used them for EVERYTHING figure related! Now I will say these little CLEAR (I almost NEVER used the black ones) rubber bands will probably put a crease on each Teen Titans sleeve & legging, but I can live w/ the inevitable creases these little bands will cause, but I just wouldn't like the sticky residue the tape would cause on the outfit & figure itself. *BEWARE, although some here think these FTC figures are as good as or superior to the MEGO counterparts, IMHO they are not, the costumes are not as stretchy (smoother is nice but that's why they are too BAGGY) & are not sewn super durable in some spots, so my Aqualad's right sleeve started to unravel immediately when I was tucking in his sleeve into his glove! BUT, the other sleeves & leggings on the TT are fine after doing so, so precede w/ caution! Hope this helps. Pics will be uploaded hopefully tonight! Sorry I didn't have them up last night! - invisiblelad

I use the clear rubber bands as well...I save all of them from store bought toys and they DO make a lot of great fixes on a lot of different things. I didn't know they sell them in stores and there's a Family Dollar a few blocks from my house...

Yes, but blink & you'll miss them lol! They are usually w/ ponytail holders/hair elastics and sold in stores where there is cultural diversity amongst it's shoppers! (Black & White people shop there!) They used to be $1 for 100 or so, but these are NOT the big ones that come with some toys (I use those to-- especially to stop bobble head syndrome on my pricey Masters of the Univers Classics (MOTUC) figs). These come in a very little bag & the hair elastics (you def want the clear & black ones as they're smooth) are each about the same / less in circumference of a Dime! They're the lil guys usually used on box-braids & cornrows!
