Awesome futzing ,hhhaney. I love the holding the cape poses. Those rod hands are perfect for it.





That looks really good. I surprised. I thought taking the wire ouot would make it stick out on the sides like a bell shape. . I have a second cape for a custom job Ive been putting off for forever because it's not going to be easy, but I may do this instead if I like what I see. Definitely want more pics.

I didn't only removed the wire, I also removed the inner linning completely. It is now single layered instead of 2 layers.

Ok, that don't sound too bad, something I can do. I'd like to see a pic of the front if you have one.

I will when I'm back home.

Like I said first I tried to only removed the wire but it still looked too puffy.
So I remvoed the inner lining completely, making it a single layer cape, now it falls and drapes really well.

The only complain I have now is that the interior of the cape isn't black but more of a dark grey.

It works in a static pasue and I can still use the original one for more dynamic pause.

Yeah, that's what I have in mind. If this looks good I won't have to do the mod I thinking of.

 

[Superman/Darrel]

I so want that Batman Begins figure. I think it looks so much better than the DK suit. The DK suit looks too busy IMO. Loved the movie but I like the BB suit better.

 

[Maglor]

i never even saw this. drives me nuts my grappling gun sits low I'm going to have to look in to moving it higher...

Mags - is it possible to move the magnet??

Finally Found a pose I actually like my Batman in. Not static but not too busy...perfect for my taste

Not sure about the tank, but damn dude - that's a badass pose!

And your figure's fine? That was all it took?

Yep. No further problems.

I didn't only removed the wire, I also removed the inner linning completely. It is now single layered instead of 2 layers.

I have two capes and might try this...


Would it be possible to remove the inner layer without removing the wire? I like the wire.

Well no, if you remove the lining the wired won't stay in place.

 

[Maglor]

Ah, okay. Still might try it depending on how your futzed pictures turn out.

 

[elvis1976]

Here's some more pics.

All in all I think it lays better and require almost zero futzing.

So once again I removed completely the inner lining and the wire.

Only complaint is that the inside of the cape is grey but I can live with that.

 

[Maglor]

Really does look good.


I assume an over-the-shoulder pose will no longer work?

 

[elvis1976]

No it won't work but tbh I don't think it looks good even with the lining.
It looks to thick IMO

 

[Jokes & Bats]

that looks brill!

 

[Maglor]

No it won't work but tbh I don't think it looks good even with the lining.
It looks to thick IMO

I know what you mean, but I do like having the option to flip it back a little:

 

[elvis1976]

Oh I understand completely, it's just that I think it looks mare natural taht's all.

I still have the original one if i want some different pause

 

[Maglor]

Yeah, since I have two capes I will most likely do your mod.


Could the inside be dyed/painted black somehow?

 

[elvis1976]

Well the dye won't work since it's a synthetic type of material.
Not sure about the paint, might make the cape too thick. Not sure.

THe inner material is a kind of velvet fabric so it will require a lot fo paint to even darkened it a bit.

 

[Maglor]

Seems like you could use a black wash - watered down. Still might make it stiff I guess.

 

[elvis1976]

Black was will only make it a bit darker and will make the cape super stiff yeah.
