Re: MMS200 - Man of Steel: Superman Collectible Figure
not sure if everyone is aware of the mod thread, so I'll post this here as well.
The mod has begun.
stage 1: Cape Removal - Fairly simple, just be careful around the glue spots.
Stage 2: Inner Collar Removal. It is a bit more difficult as there are more spots with glue. Patience is key and you should be able to get it out without breaking open the suit.
Stage 3: Outer Collar Removal. Even more patience and be very careful as you peel this up from the suit, a hairdryer can aid in the process.
Stage 4: Hollow Out Outer Collar. Used exacto knife and small scissors to hollow this out. Decide here if you want to paint it or not, because once it is back on, painting would be a pain.
I still have to paint the collar along with the wrist gauntlets and trim the suit to make the symbol closer to the collar. Tony's cape is still a couple of weeks away, so I have some time. I'll post more pics along the way.
Note for newbies - This is my very first mod on a 1/6 figure. I do not have 2 of these either, this is my only one. I can say that after getting this far with no major blunders, my confidence in pulling this off has gone up quite a bit. Just take your time.
