Surely I can't be the only one who doesn't like the custom capes, right?

I know every option is flawed, and we have to pick our poison. But I definitely prefer stock, be it Inart or Hot Toys. I don't see an upgrade in any of the custom options. They just look flat, especially around the collar. And yeah, they "drape" better, but they hang like folded paper.

I don't necessarily think they're more accurate either. To be honest, I've tossed accuracy aside, as I don't think that's an option with either figure without some serious modding.

For the time being, I'm aiming for what's most aesthetic.

Thanks!

Debating on this mod with the “empty” seamless cowl. Might acquire a second headsculpt to transplant the eye system and mod the faceplate.

It will certainly all fit, but the black plastic under the faceplate chin will need to be removed (it’s glued but can be done) and then figure out a system to have it sit flush and hold. With this done, the faceplate will sit lower and push a little further out than it is in the pics below.

The pics below show the faceplate inside, but will look more natural and flush if I remove the black chin plate. Next step would be mounting the neck:

I tried this with mine but unfortunately the inside of the cowl is not shaped well for eyes to be transplanted and would need dremeling, which would be extremely difficult to do ‘blind’.

Best of luck!

Damn, well that settles that! Good idea in theory. Thanks for the info

I’m not saying it’s not possible, but would be extremely difficult unfortunately!

I got up to the point I had the eyes in place but they sit way too deep and the effort to try and get them in place was not worth what I felt would be an inferior result.
