UPDATED Dyed Rayon cape NOW AVAILABLE thread & Hero template capes

[lforigno]

Updated: 10/30/12

Dyed Rayon capes are now being prepped and sold. I purchased the fabric and will begin the process of dying it to make it darker. If anyone would like one they are 30 dollars shipped in the US and 35 dollars shipped outside the US. My paypal is Lforigno@gmail.com thanks



I have obtained the template to the actual hero cape used on bale during all 3 films for the Nolan batman series and I will be making my cape using this new design. I would like to see if there is enough interest in these capes. I will not be posting the template on the boards as I got this from a friend who has many connections and would not want to jeopardize that. Every single cape would be identical since I will be following the hero pattern to a T unlike last time where mostly everything was just hand made. Anyways let me know if you would be interested before I update the page with order information.

[mmurrer]

How much would one of these go for? I might be interested.

[Y4NK33 PL4N3T]

And I just bought 1 of your custom capes :lol

Anyway, I'm interested.

[lforigno]

I'm not sure on price but it will be just as accurate as the real cape used in the film. It will be a little more than I am charging now because the template is much more complex. Also begins and tdk will be the same price.

[Hydeous]

How different would it be?

need pics. That said, I think the last one I got from you for my begins and TDK suit is awesome.

[lforigno]

It is very very different. Will post pics this weekend.

[Hydeous]

Lookin forward to it, Lance :rock

[KingGrayskull]

Are we talking about 1/1 or 1/6 scale?

[ZaCHw117]

Ahh, Just bought one from you a couple weeks ago! Oh well. If this is superior I'll get one depending on the price.

[lforigno]

Are we talking about 1/1 or 1/6 scale?

1/6 using all the measurements of the 1/1 cape.

[mmurrer]

I'm anxious for the pics and pricing info. Put me down on the list, Ilforigno, if I agree with the price and like how the cape looks, I'll surely get one. Your capes are awesome and I have 3 of them. =)

[Gipetto0812]

I think I'd be interested pending price and look.

Can't wait to see man, especially since this will be taken straight from the 1:1 measurments!

[intothevoid]

Can't wait for this cape :D

[lforigno]

I understand there have been a lot of people on this forum that have boughten not just one of my capes but many and I am not doing this to make money rather than do it for the most accurate batman look. It is much more complex and even sewing is involved with this pattern. I was messing around a bit today with the pattern and it looks perfect on a truetype. It is long enough to have the dynamic cape poses from begins but also the perfect length in the back.

Also I feel as though in this scale with the hero cape pattern the rayon material which I will dye to make it darker and a deeper black will lool much more realistic.

[KingGrayskull]

Werent there different lengths of the cape(s) in the movie(s)? I remember the cape lookimg significantly shorter when he drives the Batpod for example... Even my girlfriend mentioned that Bats did change his cape... :lol

Anyway I would be interested in a few too, depending on the price of course. 1 BB, 1 TDK and 1 for Batpod at least...

Correct, there were different lengths made. This pattern is of Bale's walking cape.

[krec9]

may be interested depending on price

[Morbach]

I knew you were the friend behind this. :lol :duff

(need to send you a PM btw)

[Minitrucker]

(need to send you a PM btw)
Cheers Chris. Better by email as I'm rarely around here. Today, I have some free time to mess around. Lol.

[drunk_leprechaun]

Im in:wave

[Pennyworth]

Curious to see what you've cooked up Lance.

[lforigno]

The pattern is actually a little confusing to look at but I got it now. I will be posting pics of the prototype this weekend

[alpha826]

definitely interested. count me in for a begins style cape.

[lforigno]

Both the dark knight and begins capes are exactly the same.

[samueljd]

Both the dark knight and begins capes are exactly the same.

So will this new cape have some sewing involved or will it be cut from one piece of material? I'm curious to know what will be involved in making it. If there's one of yours capes I'll pick up, this sounds like the one I'll be getting.

Thanks bud, it's hard to keep up with things when you miss just one post that has that info, since it wasn't in the first post. :)

I hear ya man, especially in threads with 100s of pages and thousands of posts! I've just stopped going to threads that are really long now :lol

But to stay on topic, can't way to see what I guess what will be you're prototype lforigno!!!

[Russell1982]

I may be interested, depending on price and pics. I have your Begins cape on my OC Bats and the TDK on my DX02. If this looks that much better though id definitely consider picking one up for each.

[lforigno]

I made my first prototype and have the basic concept of the template down. I think at 1/6 scale the actual template how the cape connects is just not feasable as it will take many people modding their figures. I will make the capes using the exact dimensions of the hero cape template but the way the cape connects to a 1/6 will remain close to the same I am using now. The cape would definitely work at a little larger scale but I would need real 1/6 cape clips and mod the suit. If anyone would like a begins or tdk cape using the dimensions please let me know. I will only charge what I did using the other template. It is 25 shipped for both tdk and begins capes using the new dimensions.

[intothevoid]

That's a shame

Out of curiousity what kind of modding are you talking about? I am never afraid to rip my stock figures apart :lol

I'll probably be in for new capes with the new dimensions though anyway

[lforigno]

There are 4 holes in the cape that need to attach to the Cape clips which in turn have to be in the suit which is in the wrong place to begin with so you would have to punch out new holes of the begins suit.

[intothevoid]

Oh I see - something to keep in mind for the future ;)

[lforigno]

At 1/4 scale or 1/3 scale this would work but with the rubber used by hot toys it is just more realistic to use the template but connect it using the same type of design but possibly modified slightly.

[Gipetto0812]

Will you be showing us pics of how the capes look on both Begins and TDK Bat figures?

I'm really interested to see how these look

[lforigno]

Will you be showing us pics of how the capes look on both Begins and TDK Bat figures?

I'm really interested to see how these look

I do not have a begins or tdk figure but I can definitely show how they look on an advanced truetype.

[vodoun]

I've never heard of a hero cape... what is this you speak of.

[ZsaszSays]

Im interested. I love your capes man. :)

[lforigno]

I've never heard of a hero cape... what is this you speak of.

It is the actual design of the cape used on the film and was bales main walking cape and the cape you saw in the shots where the entire cape is shown. It will be made using the exacts measurements from the length, to the width, and even the height at which the scallops go up.

[Calcifer]

I'd be interested too! :)

[Gipetto0812]

I do not have a begins or tdk figure but I can definitely show how they look on an advanced truetype.

Yes please do show a pic! :)

I just want to see how it lays and looks if that's ok. I'm very interested

[bruin1773]

iforigno you are the man! looking forward to posted pics and placing orders for my tdk and incoming begins bats

[davej1438]

I'd be interested in a TDK and Begins version

[a-dev]

Ha, I didn't see this thread. I just made a post complimenting your old cape design.

[lforigno]

I will post pics tonight of the cape on an advanced truetype. I will make a cape in the velvet material and the dyed rayon material.

[vodoun]

You should make a wireframe.

[Gipetto0812]

can't wait for the pics!

[vnguyen]

Hey lforigno, have you ever thought about dying the velvet cape to see how that turns out?

I think the velvet capes are slightly more shiny/reflective than the movie version and wondered if dying the capes could fix that.

[lforigno]

Here are some pics to show the length. I am still working on the top part of the design but this just shows the length of the cape and how it drapes.

[intothevoid]

Looks a good length to me - look fwd to more updates!

[lforigno]

thanks... I will make these available in both dyed rayon spandex and velvet.

[lforigno]

I also wanted to mention that those that have noticed this thread a little mad because I am now offering a new cape I am sorry. The capes I have made in the past do look great at 1/6 scale. This cape should be only for those that are trying to make it as 1/1 as possible and those who are also crazy, like myself lol

[a-dev]

No worries I was so used to seeing the crappy stock cape on my Begins Batman that your 'old' cape is a revelation to me. It looks amazing.

[Gipetto0812]

Thanks for the pics!

The length looks good to me. as long as there's no light coming through at the bottom then that's all I care about

[vodoun]

I do not have a begins or tdk figure

those who are also crazy, like myself lol

Then you need to get one.

[lforigno]

Then you need to get one.

I have the new one coming from sideshow in october.

[ericvalenz]

When do the preorders start? :) you should make capes for other superheroes too. :)

[lforigno]

When do the preorders start? :) you should make capes for other superheroes too. :)

I will start taking orders some time this week. I want to make sure the top portion of the cape is perfect.

[bruin1773]

thanks... I will make these available in both dyed rayon spandex and velvet.

Hi Iforigno! Sorry if this has been answered already, but what exactly are the differences between the dyed rayon and the velvet? I will be looking to purchase these new cape templates from you for my dx02 tdk bats and the upcoming toy fair begins oc bats. Thanks for all your help!

[IXI Nick IXI]

im interested...price will be a determining factor though

[Morbach]

The length is perfect.

[Custo]

Just received my DX02, definately would be interested.

[lforigno]

Order info has been updated in the first post.

[IXI Nick IXI]

could you explain how they attach for those of us that dont know about your previous capes? or maybe pictures?

[krec9]

Is There A List For This ? Im Interested In This For My Upcoming Bb Bruce Wayne Bats

[IXI Nick IXI]

thats what I'm thinking about getting it for, but i want to see how it attaches...

[lforigno]

Is There A List For This ? Im Interested In This For My Upcoming Bb Bruce Wayne Bats

No list just send payment to the paypal assess in the first post. They will attach exactly like my previous begins capes and a takara cape. It will ship right Over the long neck adapter. The dark knight style cape will be slightly different than before so that it is more accurate. Tdk cape will attach the same but the top portion will be a little different.

[Gipetto0812]

could you explain how they attach for those of us that dont know about your previous capes? or maybe pictures?

thats what I'm thinking about getting it for, but i want to see how it attaches...

for the DX02 Batman, you stuffed the cape ends into the slots where you'd normally but the cape clips in from the stock cape.

For the Begins cape, he made it like the takara batman cape, meaning that there was a hole cut out that you put the neck joint through then but the cowl sculpt over it

[IXI Nick IXI]

any chance you have a picture of your old BB cape on a batman? doesnt it make the head/cowl sit too high up?

[lforigno]

any chance you have a picture of your old BB cape on a batman? doesnt it make the head/cowl sit too high up?

I don't but many do. It does not make it sit high at all.

[Calcifer]

To those who have had both velvet and the spandex type capes ..which do you prefer? ..i have one of lforigno's spandex type capes and i'm wondering what the velvet is like in comparison.

[IXI Nick IXI]

i'll search for the old thread...

what material did you end up deciding on?

[Gipetto0812]

[IXI Nick IXI]

yeah I just found those in the original thread...

are the new BB capes as long as your first design?

[krec9]

here you go. some pics by Voudon of lforigno's original BB rayon cape

Is That The Velvet Or The Spandex Cape ?

[lforigno]

That is the spandex version 1. The rayon capes are a little more expensive because I have to dye them. The velvet capes are great and don't Frey. People actually prefer the look of the velvet.

[IXI Nick IXI]

not worried about the dye effecting the figure or bleeding?

[lforigno]

not worried about the dye effecting the figure or bleeding?

Not at all. I have been making dyed capes for the vader for a while. Once it is dyed it is washed.

[IXI Nick IXI]

cool, that was going to be my next question :D

which do you think looks best on the BB figure (complementing the suit the best)? (not which is movie accurate)

[lforigno]

Well personally I am using the dyed rayon. Many like the velvet and yes the rayon is more money due to all the work I put in but at 1/6 scale I think it looks better. Many may disagree and that is fine that is just my own opinion.

[Y4NK33 PL4N3T]

Could anyone post a comparison picture of both custom capes? That would help my noob *** out :lol

[IXI Nick IXI]

well i think your opinion should hold more water than others since you make the damn things lol

[IXI Nick IXI]

yeah lol, im waiting till someone posts pics of the new capes on the new BB

[krec9]

i just want it to accurate to the film

[IXI Nick IXI]

see i'm on the other side of the fence...i dont care so much about accuracy as long as it makes the figure look good...to me the velvet is too black and shiny for the matte suite even though that's more screen accurate

[lforigno]

see i'm on the other side of the fence...i dont care so much about accuracy as long as it makes the figure look good...to me the velvet is too black and shiny for the matte suite even though that's more screen accurate


That is why I like the rayon. I like the deep black of the material once it is dyed and it is what I'm using on mine.

[IXI Nick IXI]

when you get the new BB be sure to post pics with your custom cape!

[krec9]

Is There A Price Difference If You Want A Long Cape or A Short One ?

[lforigno]

Is There A Price Difference If You Want A Long Cape or A Short One ?

The actual cape is quite long. I could make it a little shorter for you but it would be the same price.

[krec9]

The actual cape is quite long. I could make it a little shorter for you but it would be the same price.

im for a long cape was just checking the prices on both

[lforigno]

First batch of capes are going out Friday and Saturday. They are 30 dollars each via paypal gift. Please verify wheter you want tdk or begins. My paypal is Lforigno@gmail.com. Thanks

[cozzie]

i am defimately interested, but would need to see pictures of both types of material

[Y4NK33 PL4N3T]

Comparison photos of both on the figures would be extremely helpful.

[lforigno]

Here is a picture of the rayon under flash. The bottom is what it looks like pre dyed the top is a dyed version. It is a tad lighter than the velvet.

http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg29/lforigno/IMG_1124.jpg

[Y4NK33 PL4N3T]

Thanks for the pic, I do appreciate you taking the time in effort to do that. I have your velvet cape here but I still can't tell them apart :lol

Any chance we can see a side-by-side photo of the 2 capes on the figures?

[IXI Nick IXI]

Is it less to get them without being dyed?

[lforigno]

I would just get the velvet material. It is cheaper, it is closer to what is used in the film and it has a real deep black color like the film.

[IXI Nick IXI]

im thinking the rayon may look to match the suit better since the suit is such a dull color instead of a good black...

[mt24]

Have you made a cape for the Batman Begins / Bruce Wayne exclusive?

Or is it exactly the same as the OC?

[IXI Nick IXI]

someone hasnt read anything in this thread...

[mt24]

someone hasnt read anything in this thread...

:confused::confused::confused:

Who? Me?

I asked about the new BB / TF exclusive OC one and whether it's the same with the old TDK OC or not.
Because I got my new BB / TF exclusive OC but never bought Lance's TDK OC custom cape, only the TDK one.

And I believe Lance only mentioned that the TDK and old OC are exactly the same, but didn't mention about the new BB / TF exclusive OC.

[IXI Nick IXI]

Pretty sure he did...talks about the template and how it attaches...unless it's been edited out with his updates

[Gipetto0812]

hope this helps:

[steven.giunta]

Here's some pics .it is awesome

[intothevoid]

Love the way it falls on the back!

Is that the original OC Batman or the new one? Suit looks a bit dried out

[steven.giunta]

Its the original.

[Morbach]

Wow looks great. Can't wait for mine. Hope they arrive soon.

[samueljd]

Here's some pics .it is awesome

Looks good. :clap

[Sachiel]

Which material is that?

[steven.giunta]

Dyed rayon

[alpha826]

im gonna have to get a velvet one real soon. i love the way it drapes

[MarfMaster]

I'm tempted to pick up one of these new capes, but I'm not sure if it's much different than the one I'm using now (also from Lance).

^^those pics look great Marf.
__________________________________
Not hating on steve.giunta, but I think his pics don't show how great this new cape possibly is. Maybe some pics w/o flash, steve.giunta?

It looks to drape well at the back, but the front doesn't look as good as I'd hoped from those pics. possibly just the pics though

[intothevoid]

I agree dude, Steve's pics are not that flattering due to the flash and lack of focus.

I believe Lance ordered one of the new Begins Batmans so I guess he'll get his in the next week or so and then post pics himself

[Deak Starkiller]

Ok, I am a bit confused on which cape to order. I am getting the new OC bats in a few days. Which cape is the best for this figure. Thanks!

[lforigno]

Ok, I am a bit confused on which cape to order. I am getting the new OC bats in a few days. Which cape is the best for this figure. Thanks!

i would go with the velvet cape because it is a great contrast to the lighter batman suit

[krec9]

did you get my pm?

[lforigno]

got it thanks. I have a large order of these going out today with the new batman coming out. If anyone is interested please PM me and I can ship out today with this batch. thanks

[intothevoid]

Hey buddy - are you sending mine out with the current batch too? Let me know if you need my address again!

[bruin1773]

Pm and paypal sent this morning. Thanks!

[cadaver202]

I would love to get one of the dyed rayon capes. thats the same material you used on the Darth Vader capes, correct?

[lforigno]

I would love to get one of the dyed rayon capes. thats the same material you used on the Darth Vader capes, correct?

yes it is but because of the cost of the material as well as dying said material it is 45 dollars shipped. The velvet material is only 35 dollars shipped.

[cadaver202]

that sounds good to me. sending you a PM.

[krec9]

you got my pm any update ?

[lforigno]

you got my pm any update ?

I'm sorry resend it please.

[krec9]

I'm sorry resend it please.

wanted to know if you got my payment ? sent you a pm

[dsokyra]

So I just put on the velvet hero cape that lforigno made...it looks AWESOME!! I highly recommend buying one from him...it really kicks the crap out of the cape this new Batman exclusive comes with...ill post pics once I fix the busted right ankle/boot this figure ARRIVED with :gah:

[zipflint]

Hi there people. I'm a doofus and can't find comparison pics of the rayon vs. velvet capes. I have no idea which would be better on the new Batman Begins figure, the one that is just beginning to ship. Mine should show up on Friday, so I won't be ordering until next week at the earliest. Just to be sure, the protocol is:
--PM lforigno to state interest and provide my shipping info
--wait for him to reply with paypal info
--I cough up the dough
--he ships my cape with his next batch, whenever that might be.....?

Sorry of I'm being dense. Hey, I'm on medication. That's my excuse, and I'm stickin' to it.

It's cool lol. I have plenty of capes and I actually prefer the velvet cape as it is a great compliment to the matte finish of the suit.

[dsokyra]

Some quick pics of the velvet lforigno cape...I agree that this one looks awesome on the new figure...again, I'm not a photographer, and my pics dont do it justice, but hopefully it gives you an idea...thanks lforigno! You came through again bro! :clap

[K07]

I love how long it looks when he's standing. I love that you can drape it in different ways. Brings out a lot of character to a figure that's just standing there!

How does it look for an action pose? My TDK V1 Batman is raising both arms, one elbows bent with a batarang in that hand, and his legs are slightly spread apart and knees slightly bent. Had it like that for almost three years now and no rips or tears!

I never had a problem with the cape, but I'm thinking it'll look silly to have the BB suit with this and the TDK V1 without. But the other thought I have is it'll look silly for the action pose and take away from his suit by having too much cape. Thoughts? Anyone have their Batman posed in a dynamic action pose with these capes?

[TheGDBatman]

Love the look of the cape on the new fig. I ordered a velvet from you of ebay a few days ago and can't wait to see it on my figure once it finally arrives. It will be the new Hero cut right? Keep up the great work!:clap

The eBay capes are not the hero capes the hero capes are exclusive to this site only.

I wish I knew you were here on Sideshow. I saw the cape on eBay and ordered it there. Thank though! Very excited.

the velvet hero template is the nicer of the capes.

Is it possible to get these new capes to hang in front of the shoulder like this:

I can't tell if the cape is folded in this pic:

http://i1182.photobucket.com/albums/x456/dsokyra/100_3127.jpg

But it appears that it cannot hang in front of the shoulders straight down from the clips.

[Maglor]

Also, are you still making the old capes?


Is the one in this auction the old cape that have?

[lforigno]

yes it is possible for the new capes to hang in the front, trust me.

[K07]

So when our suits are all torn up and rotted away, lforigno makes them still displayable! Perfect. How long will these be around? Really would be irresponsible to throw money at these right now but I think I could swing them as a gift if I point someone your way.

Is it possible to get these new capes to hang in front of the shoulder like this:

Since the new one is placed just like the old cape it should
Here's the old cape on my OC bats.
I absolutely love the velvet. I'm gonna order another cape since I also just received the Wayne BB figure. I'm waiting to see more pics of the dyed rayon though cause they seem to look better when its draped behind the shoulder where you see more of the body like the way Marf has his displayed. The velvet is thicker so personally, to me it looks better when its more of a dramatic look where its covering most of the body.

I wanted to try and take a swing at this and make my own...damn it's hard. I got a lot of respect for you Lance. You have some skills. :bow

[Sachiel]

What are the differences between the TDK and Begins versions?

Is TDK's shorter?

[Xerowolf]

Payment Sent.

CAN'T WAIT!_! This will make the figure amazing. Love all the pictures and I cannot wait to show mine off. I am also sending this to multiple friends who bought this figure and telling them to buy a cape from you.

THANK YOU!!

[lforigno]

What are the differences between the TDK and Begins versions?

Is TDK's shorter?

for this the length of the tdk is exactly the same as it is the hero template as used in both films.

[Cowboy]

I might buy one for my tdk batman if I could see a pic!!

[lforigno]

I dont have either batman so unless someone posts a pic I am not sure. They do look great from what others have posted.

[Cowboy]

for this the length of the tdk is exactly the same as it is the hero template as used in both films.

I'm sorry did you mean the two capes are the same length??

[lforigno]

I'm sorry did you mean the two capes are the same length??

yes this is the hero template cape which was used throughout filming of both begins and the dark knight

[Vortex]

the velvet hero template is the nicer of the capes.

Thanks Iforigno. I will be getting in contact with you next payday to set something up.:)

[zipflint]

Hey lforigno,
Can I be nosy and ask what the general turnaround time is for the supernice velvet cape? You clearly put a lot of effort into these. Let's say I ordered one on a Monday and made the paypal payment immediately. Can you guestimate when I'd receive the cape?

I probably won't be able to order one from you until early next month, but I'm just curious. (I guess this could have been handled in a PM but I'm betting your inbox is getting hammered.)

[shanghei]

Which one of lforigno cape is in this picture, thats the one I want.

[krec9]

just got my cape yesterday waiting for my bb ex figure

[BB&WSF]

Mag has not used the clips with his Bat, guess they're more for screen accuracy. Question: Can the clips (from the HT cape) be fixed in the custom cape as well?

Sorry if this have been answered before but is the clip included with the velvet cape?

No, they're not.

[Alice Adrenochrome]

Stocked about getting this cape. Will make nice photos!

[ZsaszSays]

For all that are asking....
Clips are not included with the custom cape. You use the ones that come with your figure by taking them out of the stock cape, using a needle or small pair of scissors cut two small holes where you would put the pegs. Then put the custom cape on as you would the stock cape. Everyone get that?

[Billy]

I just ordered one of your velvet hero capes im really looking forward to putting it on my oc batman.
Thank you for makeing them :)

no the one offered on the boards is the actual template of the hero cape which I received from a friend who has a studio source and was the cape actually used in the films. It is similar to a hot toys cape, but the length is the way it was in the films and the scallops are very very subtle.

[lforigno]

Hey everyone I just wanted to give you an update. As you all may realize I have been getting hammered with cape requests and believe me I appreciate it but it is very easy to run out of fabric and shipping supplies when shipping out so many items. I am making a trip tomorrow to gather some more items including fabric and will make and ship them out on Monday. I know I told some of you that I would be able to ship it out on Friday but I did not realize how many I actually had to make. I will ship everything up to this point on Monday and for those of you that buy a cape soon please be patient I am a trust worthy guy I am just busy.

Not true. It's lforigno's original Batman Begins cape - based on the Takara cape if I remember right.

Nice! I think this is the first time I'm seeing one of lforigno's capes on a V1 TDK. It actually looks great! :clap

[zipflint]

Hey lforigno,
I just sent you a PM and an email about buying one of the velvet Batman capes from you. Just trying to cover my bases. I'll wait on a reply from you before I do anything else. Your work looks completely awesome and I can't wait to get the cape.

[lforigno]

Hey everyone I wanted to again give an update. First off let me say I am grateful that you enjoy my capes to buy them. Let me say that I have had TONS AND TONS of orders from both this site and eBay. I went through 8.5 yards of fabric on monday alone. I want to ship these out right away but I am trying as hard as I can to ship these out in a timely manor. For those of you that order a cape please be patient as wait time will be longer than normal but TRUST ME It will go out within a week of purchase.

[zipflint]

Thanks for keeping us informed. I think it's safe to say that we all really appreciate that. When it comes to things like this, the wait is always worth it.
:)

[COSMOSTARX]

Thanks Lance. The can't wait to get it.

Pretty impatient about getting mine! Need cape to make pictures! I'm sure the cape will look awesome on the figure. These Iforigno-capes must be among the most popular custom items of all times.

Almost make me want to buy a TDK Bats! :rotfl

thanks, I'm really pleased with it. We're all lucky to be getting these capes. They really improve the figure quality.

My Batman Begins arrived Monday so here's a few shots of it with the cape. I didn't put the clips on properly 'cause I'm posing this figure as "first night out" bruce wayne so I didn't wanna go through the hassle of perfecting it. But for those of you who want to see how it looks here ya go...

[BB&WSF]

http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm29/morbach369/SANY0066.jpg

Will that be the new 'Hero' template Mor (short one)? I went back and forth on which one to buy and Mag's Bats was my major reference. Finally after some research and getting clarification from Lance, I ordered one 'Hero' template. I am sure it will be perfect but would'nt it be great to have someone post two different pics of the Bats with both, long and short sized capes. I am sure it will be of a lot of help and great for reference purposes.

P.S.: The Xerowolf's Bat looks like the long one.

[COSMOSTARX]

Just got mine. And what the heck, this thing looks so thin but it's so heavy! I love it.

I made the label in the front.

That is the new green goblin base. I removed all the spiderman lettering and added my own.

[Raymond Ferraro]

Can the guys who got Lance's custom capes quickly answer me this before I deface my batman, do the cape clips need to be trimmed in order to lay flat against the suit? Right now they protrude and you can see a lot of peg. i cant seem to push them in further.

Also do the pins punch through the cape itself in any way?

[lforigno]

ALL CAPES HAVE BEEN SHIPPED... wow that was a lot lol

[BB&WSF]

I used a nail file to file down the pegs and make them a bit thinner so that I could push them down further and not have them protrude so much. Easy couple minutes work that isn't as drastic as trimming them down.

Hope that helps.

[COSMOSTARX]

I didn't put any holes in mine. I just let the cape hang on the pegs since there was a slit and neck hole cut with it.

Thanks guys for the tips. I just bit the bullet and went ahead and did it. sanded down the clips so they lie flush with the suit. glad i did because now i can enjoy it! As always Lances capes totally make these figures. it's crazy to think they don't come out of the box like this!

[-jay-]

I got mine this morning and it looks great! Thanks very much. :hi5:

I prefer the draped behind look as pictured above. I'm not that much of a fan for the over the shoulders look. It looks like Batman wrapped in a blanket down at the homeless shelter that way. He's much more badass looking when you can see his body.

[COSMOSTARX]

Where do I stick the holes in?

I just got mines, how do u put it on? can someone do a step by step on how to put in on?

[Megacolor]

I got the velvet.

[dsokyra]

I got the velvet.

You just take off the head, line up the cape where you want it and use a pin to poke starter holes into the cape. Then you can slide the pegs through the holes into the suit. Hardest part is getting the pegs into the suit, but that has nothing to do with the cape itself. Hope that helps :)

I had such a grippingly hard time getting one of my pegs snapped into the female end of the snaps. I was literally pushing it so hard my hands were shaking. Also that little triangle peg can start hurting your thumb. I was elated when I finally heard the click of success.

[Megacolor]

the guy sell us a $35 cape with no instruction on how to put in on?!?!? :dunno

I can take a shot at it but What if I mess up? Is he going to send me a replacment? I think he should have some kind of instruction on how to put in on...the cape have no holes.

It's super easy...took me five minutes. Like I said, all you have to do is place the cape where you want it on the headless body, poke holes throught the cape into the female end of the cape holders on the suit. then stick the peg through :)

[lforigno]

the cape is very easy to put on and should need no instruction. Simply take the head sculpt off the body but leave the long neck adapter in and put the cape over the neck adapter. Than put the head back on the long neck adapter and you are done. You could either take the capes clips and push them through the cape or you could just push them through and not have the holes go through the cape. Finally you could also go for the more accurate route and remove the cape clips and either tape them or glue them to the correct positioning of the cowl.

[Megacolor]

okay thanks guys i got the cape on. The cape drapes pretty nice on batman. Much better then the hot toys one. Also the cut is pretty clean. lforigno did a great job. If anyone thinking about getting one go for it...it will make ur batman look so much better.

[COSMOSTARX]

Well initially I wasn't sure where to put holes in. Because I saw some tiny slits on the inner cut of the area where the head goes through. So I naturally thought I should put it there and let it hang.

Then I realized and forgot that the pegs don't go fully in so it was not possible to keep it there. And sure enough after some period of time it did kinda stretch slightly due to the weight and how the fabric drapes.

So I put tinier peg holes for it about half a cm away from the slits and used those.

[COSMOSTARX]

Now I have those pegs holding down the cloak along with the front part of the neck area just clutching onto the neck peg inside so it doesn't really go anywhere.

I have a feeling I will end up doing that. I'm taking my time to get used to the idea of permanently modifying the figure.

At that time I will most likely trip the bottom of the cowl off as well, but the idea is pretty damn scary. :panic:

Any tip guys? Should I try taping it to under the head of Batman and then snapping the head on?

Apologise if this has been answered earlier.

I have the short cape and was thinking of getting the long one as well. Question: Can I use the short one with DX02/TDK Bats? Or are they different, any advice would be much appreciated. Thanx! :wave
