I think mine is the same. It doesn't look like its coming off, just like it sticks out a bit so that the belt doesn't quite go over it.

Yeah, I think they're all like that. The top of the cod piece sticks out further than the abs.

Futzing/posing makes a big difference in fixing the problem. I talk about hip position in one of my videos, but I'll talk about it more when I get me second DX12 and do a video about the stock figure.

Just tried Gipetto's sanding trick for the neutral faceplate. Worlds of difference.

Indeed. I sanded all three of mine almost the instant I took him out of the package.

Trouble is, it makes the already undersized head just a smidge smaller. I still think the DX02 face plate looks better as it's longer/larger.

^^Such a great pic Mags! yuo and MaulFan are my favorite photographers on the board!

Dude, that looks damn near perfect. Great job. I need to buy a second head so I can do the eyelid sculpting.

thanks man! adding the squint really helps out this sculpt a bunch man.

Just tried Gipetto's sanding trick for the neutral faceplate. Worlds of difference. May sand it down a little more so the top of it sits a little farther back, but it's almost stupid how such a little trick can change the way something looks.

looks awesome man! but credit goes to Mags! he did the sanding first. But I agree. sanding the back down enough (before recently, I didn't do it enough), it makes a world of difference IMO. makes it look more like there's a head underneath the cowl and not just a stuck on mouthpiece

On a slightly related note, I recently got that 1/6 bat signal thingy from that company dream or something or other. Haven't had the chance to bust it out yet...but what's the general consensus on that thing? I heard reports about it being small....are they any good though?

Nvm, found the thread.

Here's a quick pic dont own one yet. I've heard the plastic lens on light is fragile and cheap and not 1/6 but look's good enough to work...

Dang, that is small...well, I guess I can always leave it in the background so the size of the light won't be too noticeable .

Is the sanding down of the face plates necessary? All this mod talk really, really puts me off! Stuff like capes and things don't bother me, I will stick to the out of the box, but it's the sanding down etc that worries me.

Does anyone have decent out of the box pics?

My main issue with this figure is the gun, the final piece looks ****! The prototype looked much better and was more movie accurate. The final version barely glows and the end of the gun is black instead of clear.

Eye mod looks good. You are doing justice to the figure!

I hate all of you that have done the squint mod. It makes me want to throw rocks at my derpy bats!

The quality is definitely cheap. The piece in the back that contains the light and reflector was just dangling out so I had to use tape to keep it in, the batteries don't really fit so I'll have to try AAA instead of AA but I was able to get them in enough to get it to turn on, and the light started to go out on me and it wasn't even on 2 minutes so I turned it off in panic and luckily it appears salvaged until I can do some kind of mod to make it stay functional.

It's something I don't recommend unless you want it for display purposes like I do. I can get past the cheapness because I can always paint it to look better, and if the dang light would be able to stay on for more than a couple minutes.

Is a short or medium rayon cape the way to go with this guy?

I'm using the long cape now, and love it.

Didn't someone in that thread mention that you need to mod it a little so to use only 2 AA or AAAs to get around the problem?
As for scale it's definitely way undersized but if you can find a way to raise the base by 3/4-1" it be more passable.
