^ The folds you have in the front look perfect. They have a very nice shape to them that flowing beautifully.

Here's one of mine.

Not so hard to picture, remember how it came in the box with Batman, in a triangle shape. Now take the top (pointy part) and fold it down towards the bottom (the widest part) of the cape.

Ok, that's what I originally thought. I emailed Toy Anxiety to not do that. Whether I'll have any luck I'll find out next week.
 
Scary how slender his figure is. Looks like it stepped out of the screen.

This is so true. The figure gives a real, up close chance to see the ridiculous amount of latex that Michael Keaton had around his head/neck. Because of the way he is shot, or because he is usually moving around, you don't see it so much.

This fantastic figure captures this look excellently...with maybe the exception of the cape. I think that you'd need some kind of custom cape to capture/recreate that look with your 'figure and car' combo!
 
So he wore it both ways. I think the cape looks much better, and far more natural in the picture I posted first. In my opinion, that's 10 times more true of the one sixth figure. If you like it your way, I'm not gonna stop you, but please don't tell me I'm 'doing it wrong.' :wave
 
Surprised someone hasn't bought a spare belt and tried painting it the right color, yet.

I think the Returns figure will have a nice gold belt and the yellow belt here will give a stronger contrast.
 
If the wire are crease you can never get them back to there original shape.

Get a lot of heavy books.

Why does the cowl look so battered...
 
Why does the cowl look so battered...

Yes, there are lots of dents in the forehead area. I remember seeing close-ups of the face area, and the brows and some of the other sharper edges having small air bubbles and imperfections in them. Trying to find the pictures I mean...

Either way, the fabulous HT has done away with all of them.
