InArt: 1/6 Superman (Cavill)

[Aybaig]

That's a good deal. It says $376 on their site, did you have a coupon?

No bud, I think they increased it later. And you know what, even the NRD was just $3

The custom capes really elevate this figure even more @rory as always, thanks for sharing the process

I really like the cape on the left. Wonder if it is Unreal’s or not.

Definitely think it’s Unreal’s cape. His is the most accurate. Jaxon’s is no slouch though. I would never pay for a Tony Mei Cavill cape again though—overpriced and the least accurate

 

[Berry The Music Man]

What was the original price for this? Trying to find something aftermarket at a decent price

paid in the $360 range

 

[Omega9300]

Yup.

You do amazing work man!!

Also thanks for providing so many great modding tips!!!

I just got home after running out and buying some 3m two-sided tape

 

[BrooklynWolf X]

That is just jaw dropping epic.

BvS costume and BvS armored are my 2 favorite cinematic Batman designs, yes more than 89 and Returns, sue me lol

Huh? Lol, why you gotta add the ‘sue me’ part as if you’re being apologetic with that statement? The suits from BVS are literally the best Batman suits ever put on screen. I love all the Batman films and designs(even the schlocky ones have a sentimental value to them)…but none of them look as accurate or as intimidating as the BVS suits.

 

[Universal Key]

Not the best picture I've ever taken but in hand I'm happy with the result. Switched to a Jaxon wired cape and por.toys hands.

So,

I bought the wrong tape. I bought the picture hanging strips type tape which is not really two sided but is sticky on one side and Velcro on the other and requires two strips to adhere to each other.

Being lazy I decided to go ahead and use the tape anyway.

I am happy that the suit stretches so easily and still looks great, but I think this tape is too thick and makes his shoulders a little too wide. He now sort of reminds me of the shoulders on the Hot Toys Justice League Superman.

Agreed but at least you tried and know what to correct.

How was the process of adding the tape overall? Difficult?

No not hard at all.

The hardest thing was placing the outer shoulder caps so that they are both in alignment with each other.

You may want to remove those soon though, so the fabric doesn't permanently stretch out like that, and droop when you go with a smaller shape.

Here’s the tape I used. But some blutac would do just as well.

Yeah thanks, I actually saw some like that as I was leaving the aisle at the CVS.

Well to add to my shame,I also realized that I put the shoulder caps on upside down

Which explains why he looked so wonky.

Here is how he looks with the shoulder caps rightside up. Still probably a little too big but I think looks better than when the shoulders were upside down. But now don’t look as much like Cavill’s shoulders as your mod @rory

I like kind of like these bigger shoulders what do you think, do they still look too big or wonky?

I would also love to hear input from any one else who cares to share …in the meantime I will take of the costume until I have time to think about it and get feedback from you guys, thanks in advance …

Looks as a wardrobe

 

[james the cat]

Trying out yet another different cape. This one is from a custom BvS figure I bought last year, so I don't know who the cape maker was specifically. I think I like it more than the Jaxxon I had on previously. Here he is next to a stock figure for comparison sake.

How come your superman as two black eyes ?

Still too big.

 

[Nick D]

Still too big.

Yeah, shoulders too big for the arm’s proportions.

It exaggerates the taper at elbows.
Also makes the legs appear thinner.

 

[Kit Chen]

Got mine yesterday. Quick inspection. No issues. Used to have the Hot Toys one and always thought it looked ok.

This one out of the box is amazing. No need for repaints or anything. The only thing that bugs mee is how the suit looks in the elbows.

But overall, this is one of the best figures I got. Best one I got is still the Medicom Breath of the Wild Link.

You got the figure? I thought you didn't get it coz you dispute the payment on paypal?
