I think it's wise to reserve judgement until we see the full reveal and the prototype is shown at Secret Base, but at best it does appear to be a combination of fabric & other materials.This is a character that's made out of 99% cloth material and what does Hot Toys use?
The same old thick rubber material.
Well of course, but that's neither here nor there.Well yeah, I pointed out the hood in my first post. Of course if it was a floppy fabric hood we'd ***** about that too lol
The undersuit looks like the material they use for Spider-Man. Hood, chest piece, guantlets, etc. are hard plastic. So, I think this is in line with other figures Hot Toys have done. Looks really solid to me (no pun intended).Not the hood.
It's like a plastic figure with a cloth cape and belt sash. They do that in 3 inch figurines.
Understood, but his suit isn't a spandex one-piece. It looks like mummy-wrap. The ideal way to do this is stripes of material glued or fastened in place. At least on the chest (as I understand the process to make that would be expensive).The undersuit looks like the material they use for Spider-Man. Hood, chest piece, guantlets, etc. are hard plastic.

Agreed, I'm really excited for it and think it looks great. It's going to be a long wait, sure. Tell me something I don't already know.I’m loving what I’m seeing. It’s precisely the combo of materials I expected as well. His hood had so many patterns and textures I knew it would be sculpted.
This is the best look I’ve seen of the costume and I’m loving the details like the symbols on the cape and the textures on his undersuit.
I wonder if his eyes actually light up or if this is just a promo effect.
Either way, far from disappointed.
That cape is going to be a nightmare to get to sit flat and neatI wonder if the cape is large enough to make that crescent moon shape?
I imagine that HT probably experimented with that before settling on the vinyl/plastic version. A fabric hood would still have to be quite thick to hold that shape. Not saying it couldn't be done, but if done well a vinyl version could work out fine. I am hoping the rest of the outfit is primarily fabric. HT has demonstrated with their Dr. Strange figures that they can do elaborate fabric costumes quite well, so it would be disappointing if they cut a lot of corners here.Well of course, but that's neither here nor there.
Cloth hood could have been wired for shape.
