So has anyone ordered 2nd batch from Pop Collectibles ? If so what have they told you on ship date ? Reason is I have purchased 2nd batch and yet they cant tell me when my shipment will go out. Yet if you go on their website you can purchase one for more than double the price and it is in stock. Not getting a good taste of Pops.
 
Im thinking of copping this guy but im worried about any pleather materials on him. Are there any? Is his belt or any part of it pleather?
 
I still need an Adam West (I stupidly sold him) and a Val Kilmer but overall this is probably one of the better Batman figures around.

No the belt is made of a soft plastic over a fabric attached with velcro. The cape is made of a material similar to parachute silk but gives the appearance of leather (this is how the material actually was in the screen used cape) so no need to worry.

So at first I thought my batsignal light must have arrived broken, but turns out this thing is reallllly particular about what USB-C cord it will work with. I tried three before I found one that worked with it. I have no idea what the difference in cords must be.

Indeed. I experienced the same with the Batcycle while using a power bank. I had to run reg. USB from the bank to usb-c into the product in order for it to work.
 
Also, I initially felt his head was sitting a touch too low once I added the OT collar and bulked up the traps and shoulders. So I modded the neck to raise the head up a tad higher. I did this by carefully prying the rubber socket plug out of the neck, by running a slim flat head all the way around between the plug and neck, and it popped right out easily. Then I repositioned it to protrude 1/8 inch out from the base of the neck (as opposed to the flush position it was originally in) then used a little hot glue (I use hot glue cause it can be easily removed from plastic if need be, and isn't as destructive as super glue) and put a dab of black paint on the glue to blend it in. I could remove the glue and push it all the way flush again down the line if needed, but I like the slight raise, looks less turtle headed to me now.

I mean, you could do this as well by simply not pressing the neck all the way onto the peg, but I found it was really unstable using that method, and I wanted a secure connection instead.

Nice I also saw adding a magnet at the tip of the neck where the magnetic connector is pushes the sculpt up.

Ha yeah, I tried that as well initially, but I think because of the size of magnets I had available on hand, the head wobbled too much using with them. Couldn't sit flush enough to stay straight. Others may have more luck with that.

Yeah I guess it depends on the magnet size. But Your mod is more something I'd prefer as it isn't noticeable. Also using hot glue as long as it's reversible might be ideal. I'll probably give it a try.
