    Materials to make superhero glove/gauntlet and upper boot parts?

    I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for what to use to make the upper parts of long superhero gloves and boots. It's tough/expensive to find these sorts of parts, so I figure that it would be a lot easier and accurate to make them, but I'm not sure what materials would be best to use...

    DC Direct 13" Alan Scott figure (Can the battery be removed?)

    I've had this figure for a while now but I haven't figured out how to remove the battery from the... battery (now you can see the difficulty in trying to google this, heh).

    Gauntlet gloves for superheroes?

    I'm looking to put together a Doctor Fate Custom, but I'm having trouble finding gloves or two piece gloves/bracers combo that match. Anyone know where I could find gloves like these? Closest I found were the Sideshow Cobra Commander V2 gloves, but I can't seem to track down any loose.

    Hi, I've been trying to paint a Dollsfigure leather trenchcoat using some Citadel acrylic paints. I'd successfully painted two trenchcoats from Gangster Kingdom figures using the same method, but this one keeps splitting and flaking anywhere the material folds. I've tried watering down the...

    Help! Stuck hip on Hot toys slim body

    Hi, I picked up an Ichabod Crane body from Toy Anxiety and the right hip joint is stuck. I can raise and lower the leg, rotate the thigh, but I can't move it out to the side at all (like when doing the splits). It feels as if it will snap if I put any more pressure on it. I tried heating the...

    Should primer scape off easily?

    Hi, I've been trying to prime some plastic pieces with some Liquitex white gesso and I'm finding that it scapes off just as easily as if I hadn't primed and went straight to painting. I'm wondering if I have the wrong idea of primers: are they supposed to offer any protection or just a better...

    Styling a 1/6 wig

    I picked up a 1/6 scale synthetic mohair wig and cut it short for my Resident Evil 2 Leon custom, but I can't seem to get the hair tamed.

    Clothing dye transfer prevention

    (Originally had this on the collectibles general board, but this might be better here) I recently bought a 1/6 scale black German uniform to set the HT Hugo Weaving Red Skull sculpt up on. I placed the uniform on an extra TrueType I had and found that the black dye was coming off both onto my...

    I just picked up one of these sets today, but after opening it, it looks like Batman's detonator and cord are missing from the package. Just wanted to check with others that have this 4 pack release to make sure it is supposed to be included.
