I've only modded my STRIKE Cap and that was the simple fatsuit cut out and stuffing the suit with cotton to give it a chest and it still looks like crap. This Batman looks great out of the box and I'm not nitpicky about small inaccuracies or imperfections(like the cowl covering the bat symbol). From what I saw of the aftermarket modded figures sell for less than stock, pristine figures with perfect artbox and shipper but HT aftermarket is crap anyway so value shouldn't be a deterrent to modding.
