Great improvement over original HT

Thoughts on this collar from Art15? He’s also making some fully-painted sticky bomb guns for the regular edition.

Looks good. I ordered one from him, though he asked the payment to be F&F for those interested in his first batches. He'll put it up on his website which will be in G&S. It's a little bit of a gamble paying F&F as there is no buyer protection if things goes south. Hopefully I get it and all goes well as he's working with Guillaume customs on this project. As far as comparing OT and this we'll see how it goes, I'm still waiting on SS to ship my figure and the month is ending.

That looks amazing. I believe he updated his collar recently, I'd be into getting his neck and sculpt. I'm waiting on Art15Customs collar to arrive and SS is preparing to ship my Batman this week coming up.

Has anyone modded the stock collar by heating or doing something to widen them and also added osk neck extender to move the neck up? I am thinking of doing it if I find Inart one to be not worth upgrading. If Inart nails it, then might sell this guy and get that

You can easily heat it and widen it but it then warps the front and back of the cowl and how it is able to sit on the body.

Ohhh. Then its better to insert foam into the neck to widen it. The thing is from a distance in the display, the collar width might not even be visible and spending 60-90 dollars on it is not worth for me atleast.

Completely get where you’re coming from. I will say though, the difference a custom collar makes for me personally is huge.

Yes. I know photos don't do justice but from whatever i have seen art15 customs one looks more wide and screen accurate along with the latest unreal one. I like the neck part of pattinson suit very much and might get the custom collar from either art15 or if jaxon makes one.
I need the collar exactly like this scene

Got my Batman yesterday and he's amazing in hand. I did try to see how OT collar looked on him and although accurate I can't bring myself to cut the cape up to fit it onto the collar, so I'll wait for Art15 collar to arrive as I feel that's the better version of the two. I do feel the softer material of it works best. I do feel regret buying two OT collars because it was almost $200 both being $93 each, only to see them discounted later. Regardless which ever one you choose it elevates the figure by far.

Update: just got home and switched out the collar to OT but I'm using the second wired cape which fit fine and works enough until I get the Art15 collar.

Decided to re-stitch the cape to fit the OT collar as I wait for the Art15 one (I might have had to mod the cape for that one anyway). It wasn't hard but I would have liked to have left it stock. But regardless it looks amazing now the difference in collar really makes it pop. I'll probably weather the suit up next and then I'll be done with him.View attachment 1000003204.jpg

I responded to his post on FB about my experience and while I don't agree with his actions towards others. I do think OT delivers albeit late. You can get him to respond by filing a claim with PayPal however, which sucks that you'd have to take it that far to get a response.
