In the upcoming animated movie “Batman and Harley Quinn,” Nightwing once again becomes victim of a bad haircut. From a mullet to bad bangs! Poor kid can’t catch a break. Naturally, I felt the need to memorialize this tragedy on my shelf.
From the movie trailers, it looks like Nightwing has bulked up a bit since his TNBA days. I had originally considered using a “Gods and Monsters” Batman as a base, until I realized that figure towers over regular TNBA Batman. (Once again, DC Collectibles fails to master the concept of scale.) So I stuck with the old Nightwing, though he’s a bit thin.
I simply gave him a haircut, and sculpted new bangs with Magic Sculpt. Oh, and then I painted his eyes. Because his eyes show now. Or something. Go figure. (And I painted the mask wider.)

Easy: A simple parts swap. Little if any paint.
Moderate: New and modified parts.
Skilled: Lots of new and modified parts. “Frankensteining” often involved.
Advanced: All of the above, plus a great deal of original sculpting.
So you can just cut his hair no problem?
Well, I should have sanded the neckline. But generally, yes, I just cut the hair off.
