Love that Supes pose, wish I could use that but just not brave enough to risk damaging his suit. Nice to see almost the full set together there...just one missing now.
Damaging the suit because of the slight knee bend
Hi,
Yes, I cut the bottom cape with the figure placed on the stand & estimated the length needed. Try start a small portion & judge, then you may roll a portion to hold, and start cutting irregular battern.
As for the ironing, placed a piece of paper/tissue/cloth on top of the Cape to prevent overheat. Start with lower level heat. For safer pre-caution, wet the cloth & iron together with the cape.
After finish flattened the cape, you may see the cape 's two side ends were slightly thicker. I put the iron's heat level to the lowest (or you can turn off the power), and slightly sweep gently on the cape to get a little wrinkle looks..
I recommend to do this only when you are confident on yourself. Hope this can help..
Not the knee bend. The C clamp around his waist. My MOS figure was damaged this way and it leaves similar imprints on the BVS version.
It does stretches and leaves like small folds around the suit, but hopefully it will be like the AMS2 Spidey. I left that on a C-clamp for months, but after I took it off, the suit shrunk back a bit over time, but still had some folds. I don't mind it, makes it looks like wrinkles, though I'm sure most would prefer a smooth skin tight suit.
I hear a lot of speculation from others about possibly damaging this figures suit. Just out of curiosity what are ways you can legitimately damage this suit? Maybe it's just me but I feel like it's one of the toughest built figures (at least I own) to date.
I think we were referring to Superman in this case and its only if he's left on the C clamp for a prolonged period. I imagine Batman's suit could be damaged that way, though I don't have the figure yet, but there would be no reason to use a C clamp on him.
Just a quick pick of my Batmen with Supes.
Reposed my Bats, need to get some good pics of him.
