Thanks for the tip Tony..but doesn't duct gorilla tape degrade overtime, wouldn't the material of the suit get ruined if you have it underneath the suit

It will take years for the tape to degrade. It will not affect the suit.

Really anything could be used to accomplish the same effect. Try cardboard, or buy a "fatsuit" from a different Hot Toys figure and cut it to size and stuff it in there.

UNCOVER BAT LOGO easy MOD
- no glue require
- create gap between the cowl and the Bat logo
- bulk up chest

1. take the cowl off
2. Take the upper suit off (not completely. Just enough room to work with step 3 and on
3. Create a thick tape with one side sticky (I use gorilla tape)
4. Stick the thick gorilla tape on the lower part of the chest
5. Put the suit on, zip it up from the rear
6. Put the cowl back on and see if the BAT LOGO is uncover or not. (If not, adjust the inner thick tape until you are satisfy with the result.

Great tips!

So is this an alternative to glueing the inner collar? or in addition?

Thanks!
 
That's more a problem with how people are posing the shoulders than it is a problem with the cape. Gaunted posted a pic that looks pretty perfect. The shoulders are up and the cape is flat with a little futzing. Right out of the box, I think Bats' shoulders were down. Once the shoulders are pushed up and the arms turned slightly inwards, it should look fine. I had mine out last night, and even off the stand it wasn't difficult at all to get the cape and shoulders into good positions.

this cape is so easy to work with, too, didn't take much futzing
I just kept pulling and tucking the wire back under the armpit area to give it a bit of a curve and it seems to hold, then I just tugged the bottom of the cape to hold it straight, worst case scenario, if you haven't trimmed the cape, you can hold it in place but getting it a bit under the base or pressing it up against another figures base, mine is standing with the 89 crew so that's an option if I need it
 
A few crappy cell phone pics....this guy is just fantastic.

Talked with a SSCs rep yesterday and she told me that HTs has promised them another BvS Superman shipment. With the exclusive just now shipping, she said it's a pretty sure chance my WL will convert. So I'm gonna wait it out and hope for the best.

Only Superman?
Shouldn't this be in the Superman thread instead?
