EDIT: New pics several posts below, and new attached pic also.
At some point, I'll have Private Parker from EXCAL make his way to this suit in-story. But there are other concepts to explore with him first. So for now, this is simply a series of tweaks to make the traditional costume figure work how I want. Basically, in addition to the standard unmasked head swap, I added swappable ungloved hands. That's not the work I did though. On the standard version, I added SHS hands (modded to fit normal wrist posts, but still with the extra SHS wrist articulation). Then I also changed out the neck to one of the modern styled necks with the extra vertical range of motion. In action: Nothing innovative at all with the mods, but pleased I got them to work well. Just copying ideas I've grabbed from fellow customizers, first and foremost Adrien Veidt and Greyryder.

The extra neck articulation can come in handy sometimes:

Parker is from the Star Trek line - Chekov. Was able to get a bunch of them cheap when they hit clearance.

I made some more mods to this guy to get the articulation right where I wanted it. Let me know what you think:
I trimmed the back of the head to allow the head to look "up" - or in Spidey's case "forward" even better than with my initial mod. My goal here was to get Spidey to where I could put him in the classic pose Adrien Veidt challenged me to make. BEFORE: AFTER: To achieve this new pose, I had to back track on an earlier mod. Instead of just stealing the hands from SHS Spidey, I stole the arms from the bicep down. The extra articulation from the double jointed elbow makes all the difference in the world. And the bicep swap took very little modification to work. I did have to repaint the blue to match, and the arms are a little gangly, but that doesn't bother me with Spidey. I kept the modded hands too, so they have extra articulation over the SHS version, and I can still swap in ungloved hands. The other quick fix was to carve out some of the socket on the thighs, to allow more range of motion there as well. Anyway, what do you think?
