Though I still need to paint the buttons with silver, I tried my hand at repainting the trialmaster jacket:

Looking at the bluray the jacket is darker brown, actually black with dark dark brown mixed. You might want to go darker but looks good.

Since you have the jacket, can I ask you some questions about it? Was it really hard to get the arms through the sleeves (Bane stock arms not modded arms)? And is the lining of the jacket something smooth that won't scrape or stain the figure over time?

At $75 I just wanted to make sure I knew what I was getting. Thanks very much for any help! And those are great pictures!

Bit of improvisation to fix the DX12 base height disparity.

Bigbadtoystore has them, also Monkey Depot, probably a few other stores too, but that's all I know of. ebay has them too, just search for "Trialmaster 1/6" or something.

the jacket isn't lined ~ don't know if it will stain over time. the underside is fabric ~ looks dyed to me.

no trouble getting it on (i mean: no more trouble than anything else ~ those arms are pretty big). it fits fine.

I think I finally found my final way to pose Batman / Bane

Save your fingers and use a Dremel sanding tool.

Thanks. I just wanted to make sure I covered all angles before I tried this out. Outside of head and body swaps, I have little experience in modding.

Doing the arm mod for a local freak buddy. Until the arms arrive I thought I'd have a little fun with his Bane. Found out that the thigh extenders are harder to take off than I thought. So I tried to just lower them and it still looks great. Just like mine. Hope you like so far Mike. Just some futzing for now.

Yup, just checked some photos myself and it seems you're right. Sounds easy enough, I'll get back to you guys once I do some more paint touch ups.

Swapping Bane's arms with TTM-20 arms to do the boss pose.

So you have to sand and switch the arms?

Fantastic pics being posted of this figure - I wanna join in the fun!

Great pics ,man. I see you used the Medi fists for the DX12. Funny, I was thinking if HT made their fists the same scale as Medi they might look better.

$75?! Man, this figure could come expensive. $200 for the figure + $75 for Trialmaster jacket + $60 for a new body just to take the arms off of it =$335. I didn't even count shipping or the pants everyone is buying, what are they $35-$40?. Buying this figure is looking slimmer every minute.

Are those the stock pants? They look reall good right there!

Yup! Stock pants. Just lowered an little.

They look good. Don't think it's necessary to buy other ones.

I just bought the jacket from BBTS! Man, I need my head examined! 200+ for Bane, now I'm dropping 80 more bucks for his wordrobe!! But, man, I can't resist myself!!! Plastic Crack!!!

Thank you very much! That's exactly what I needed to know! Since the fit is good, I should have enough room to fit a barrier or my own lining just in case. Thanks again, I appreciate it!

I know, I try to avoid adding all the numbers. I blame all the Freaks for introducing me to customizing and modding!
