Sorry to bump an old thread but I was moving some things around and started futzing with this guy. I made slits in the jacket so the buttons would function. I know it's not necessarily screen accurate but it made a world of difference IMO. Thought I would share the tip. Tie is custom from dinodinoya and the rest is stock Hot Toys.

This is awesome.
I got this on release and was massively underwhelmed but now I’m scrolling eBay to get one….
Yours looks awesome-great job

Thanks! I agree he was definitely underwhelming. I have Bane on the way and thought this needed something to make it feel refreshed. I added a wire under the jacket collar and some padding under the jacket at the waist as well. It took quite a bite futzing but I was happy with the end result.

Yours looks epic! Really impressed with how good it looks-I bought a two face this morning from eBay.
It okay if I hit you up for a rundown of what you done to make it look so good?

This looks great! The tie color on the stock HT version always bugged me, and the suit fits much better here with your tweaks. I have mine in a pose where the jacket is open (based on the final scene with Gordan and Batman), but this makes me want to go back and tweak the suit a bit around the collar/shoulders since it looks off. Do you mind sharing/posting what you did there?

Here are all the steps I took. Hope this helps.

1. Replaced the tie with one from dinodinoya on Instagram.
2. Removed the belt because it caused the front of the closed jacket to flare out.
3. Taped the shirt down near the waist so it laid flat to the chest.
4. Cut two small holes in the jacket and fed the buttons through with a small piece of wire.
5. Stuffed some folded paper towel under the jacket near the waist to fill it out more.
6. Futzed the tie to make sure it was laying flat on the shirt.
7. Placed a wire under the collar of the jacket so that it lays closer to the body. This was the hardest part. There was some space at the back of the collar. I folded the wire tight so that it made lay closer to the body. This caused the collar to overlap a small bit but it is on the back you can't see it in a display.
8. Use double sided tape to make the bottom part of the jacket lay flush below the second button.
