Overall not bad for a relatively simple figure, the body's better than I expected for 3rd party (soft ratchets and not too light!), all the knives are diecast, but in typical TB fashion (see "Gold Magus"), one of the glued piece came off. No biggy, put some textile B7000 glue to put it back but to my surprise, it didnt even come close to stick to that fabric! Does anybody have any tips or suggest a better glue to use? The piece that came off is the knife sheath on the side of his leg...

Cant go wrong with just a drop of superglue but very carefully so it doesnt bleed through.

Do you have the other soosoo homelander and butcher figs to compare this with? Weird how nobody else has done any pics of the squad for comparison yet...Big Breda review didnt even do that for some weird reason. Soosoo teased ages ago they would do black noir but who knows what that company with actually produce and in what decade lol

Beacon Fabri-Tac is the best stuff for glueing any fabric I've found. It's like superglue but dries flexible. No good on nonporous materials, but spectacular on fabrics.
I think it's the combination of the smooth plastic finish, almost looks non-porous, and the raised "dots" patern that makes the glue not stick as much. I retried using a lot more B7000 so that at least it goes between the dots, seems to hold for now but I'm not risking putting that knife in it's sheath again 😅 I'll order your suggestion for next time it falls off, thanks! 😉
 
bringing this thread back up but I couldn't help but ask since I'm eyeballing black noir and wanted to ask if it might be easy to disassemble and remove his clothes? i cant tell if its just velcro at the back of his top or not since I'm hoping to widen his hips since they're very slim compared to the rest of his proportions

No velcro but it seems to be a shirt and (very tight) pants so. Not an easy thing with all the glued on plastic parts but doable I'm guessing. 😉
 
I bought this figure and it's very nice. The figure is actualy designed very well for an all black figure. It has different textures and it's so WELL done. The mask looks great

I do think the suit looks a little tight.....I am not sure how accurate that is to the boys....but I actually love the fig.

But it seems to be using neoprene instead of nylon...so some wear will happen down the line. That's my big concern.

Hi there, would you be able to show us how the connection looks if you remove the head?
