I used 3m double sided out door adhesive on her left shoulder and pulled the cape very tight as to not have the gap to bulk around the shoulder area. it makes it hang natural in that area. then you can use the wires to drape the rest naturally;
I watched your video the sound of Lady Cab Driver... and I heard:
Lady..... Storm-troo-per....

No I need more. I want more.
Are they a trustworthy retailer? I've never heard of them before but the prices on that site are quite good.

Hmm, 15 five star reviews on their facebook page but still not convinced.

I've only bought from Timcent who was fine and the figure arrived within a week. The item is in stock and if you use PayPal you'd be covered.

Phasma is my first Star Wars Hot Toys so forgive me if my questions seem kinda obvious.
1.) People mention that the cape has a wire underneath for poseability. How strong exactly is this wire because i'm not sure if mine has it? Is the wire strong enough for you to do a "cape-flowing-in-the-wind" kind of pose cause I definately can't do it on mine....although it does kinda crinkle and stay there.
2.) I like Phasma so I've been trying to get every version of her that I can. I also have a SH Figuarts version and the helmet-face on it I feel is very screen-accurate. This hot toys one not so much, and for the life of me I can't really tell why. Anyone have any idea? It seems like the face is more "goggle-eyed" which makes her less menacing looking compared to the SH Figuarts one. Some people here mentioned the black brow above her eyes which should not be there or less pronounced but i'm not sure if this is the thing that affects the overall look. If someone can point out what's the difference in the hot toys helmet and if it can be fixed I would be so grateful. I really can't place what's wrong with it.

Did anyone successfully remove the weathering above the brow ? If so, what did you use ? The look is bugging me !

It's not removable, the chrome paint is. The base color of the helmet is black so if you try to remove the black weathering with thinner or polish you'll just end up taking off the chrome paint.
I don't know much about hot toys, is Phasma not doing well/ is unpopular? She's $137 here...https://plamoya.com/en/star-wars-the-force-awakens-captain-phasma-movie-masterpiece-p-137623.html
I'm considering her for this killer price, if only it wasn't for that crappy aussie exchange rate...

That and the figure is a tad too large. Add in the character sucked and was tossed in a dumpster and you have the recipe for an undesireable figure.

That stupid voice as well?! I mean WTF!!? The character was a major disappointment IMO.
I keep reading she will have a more prominent appearance in EP8 but with her garbage appearance in TFA there's really nothing they could do to redeem the character. They've already done the damage. It's not like Boba who was a badass in ESB then turned to a joke in ROTJ.
Tampons.

Got this for 177 shipped from Loonten, which I guess is alright considering that playmoya site is 41 USD for shipping
