I know this has probably been asked a hundred times, but how do you remove the black paper from underneath the belt?

Unsnap the front of the belt (right side of buckle) then remove belt. You may have to peel paper away from the suit

Just got mine and he is pretty incredible, first hot toy purchase, I am having an issue though with the back of the head piece, I have been trying to squish it in the head so the seam lines run smooth but no luck, the piece is just too large for the fit, are any others having this problem?

There is no amount of "squishing" to remedy this problem that I have found. Just work with it enough so that you can't see it from the front and live it. That's what I have chosen to do. Only design flaw with this figure I have found.

That kinda sucks, well I got mine from SS so will see if they can maybe trade out a whole head with an acceptable plate, otherwise I will dremel parts down a bit to have it sit better, doesn't seem like will be a problem, but would like to avoid just in case

Anybody getting indentations from the stand on his inner thighs? It seems like it will be inevitable with any stand you use with that suit material. It almost makes me want to return it for a new one and make sure the stand forks don't press into the legs.

Can anyone elaborate on my question?

Stop using stands!!

All my rubber figures have been able to stand on their own.

If the indentations aren't too bad, they usually go away after time. As long as you don't have the stand rubbing up on it of course.

 

[DiFabio]

Yeah, I never used a stand for a Batman figure out of fear of the indentations. Not the OC, not the DX, not the Toy Fairs Begins, not the Demon and certainly not this one.

I keep mine in acrylic display cases and they seem to stand up fine without any support. If by chance they do fall over they're only going to go about an inch or two forward or backward.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Thanks guys. I did have fears of this before I ever did it so I didn't put the fork too high on his thighs so there wouldn't be much pressure from it but it still left dents. They aren't too bad so maybe they will relax. It was only on him since Friday and now he's leaning on the stand now slightly.

You have experience with the dents Dominishin? They went away for you after removing the stand?

 

[The Jerker]

You might want to take a hair dryer (low heat) to the dented area and message the dents with your fingers. That might help in removing them.

 

[DiFabio]

If you've only had it on the base since Friday, it should go away by itself. I wouldn't mess with it. I think you'll be fine.

 

[Snake Plissken]

I would be way too scared to use a hair dryer but I see where your coming from. I will let it breathe for a few days and see what it does. I guess I will let you guys know how the experiment goes haha. I feel like a idiot for using the stand, I suspected as much before I even used it. Its my first rubber 1/6.

Playing with a new lens. Such an incredible figure.

 

[MaulFan]

As much as I love the figure and think your new lens works great, I'm drawn to your 1:1 batarang

 

[DiFabio]

Yeah, I wonder if it really folds.

I used to have a grapple gun kit prop. I think it was made out of wood.

Thanks for posting that. Gives me great relief to know they're that solid. I have my Joker order with them as well so looks like I'll be sticking with them.

Don't massage the rubber suit either, look what happened to the Bruce Wyane/Batman, suit started peeling.

Had no intention to, figured it would aggravate it further. I just hope it relaxes to some form of flatness. It's only been on the stand for roughly 96 hours.

Whoops, I didn't know about that.

What are the current problems with this figure at this point in time?
