Re: Hot Toys MMS188 The Dark Knight Rises: Selina Kyle/Catwoman Figure Full Specs & P

Ok now thats a big problem... I think I won't even touch the thing, I wanted to display her without the mask anyway.

But usually, the first figures to ship out are have more

All they had to do was make the goggles and mask two individual pieces that connect together. If it was a question of added weight, they could've easily made the rims a bit thicker to support it.

I couldn't tell you from just photos. I have to wait till I get the HS in hand to determine exactly how the factory painted mascara was applied. Then I can tell if it needs more or less shading.

That custom is pretty freaking sweet. Spot on likeness.

Wow, that looks great. Looks much more like Hathaway. Who did this?

Cool but on a figure can mascara be applied and look good or does it need to be paint. How about making the eyes bigger? Think a boardie could mimic this in the USA and not charge an arm and a leg

You can mimic mascara on a female figure head with using subtle acrylic black paint or a wash, you just have to use very light paint and even lighter strokes. I've done this before

But I can't say how much or how little I need because I don't have the head in front of me and so I can't tell how heavy the mascara lines are on the factory paint.

Every factory paint job is different on HS of HT's I've noticed some have faded paintwork, some have just the right amount of makeup and some have too much in some areas and too little in other areas of the face. Even if it's the same HS.

Put then it can't come off if u screw up right?

Re: Hot Toys MMS188 The Dark Knight Rises: Selina Kyle/Catwoman Figure Full Specs & P

saw this elsewhere, a little fix with the eyes and it would improve the head.

Looks great, but don't be fooled by the neck adjustment, in the side shot the head is detached from the neck post creating a gap. That's how he got the neck to look like that.

Still a great custom though

Water based acrylic is simply that, water based, meaning it easily washes off with water, the only way it would be hard is if you apply some kind of gloss coat or sealer onto the paint job. Then you might have to use paint thinner, but I wouldn't recommend it until you are absolutely satisfied with your paint job before applying any kind of gloss or sealer.

But the trick will be to apply the paint using as little paint as possible, think of it as creating lines in the gaps of the factory's mascara lines, more or less, you won't be completely covering them up but more like making them a bit longer or thicker.

That looks a bit too "anime", I'm afraid.

Anime? How does it look anime? I really dont get that.

Custom Looks Just like the real actress..........

Re: Hot Toys MMS188 The Dark Knight Rises: Selina Kyle/Catwoman Figure Full Specs & P

Oh boy, I noticed the word mascara popping up more often after I mentioned it lol.. What have I done??

Anyhow, to the poster that asked if there are ways to make the eyes bigger...well, the answer lies in this very post...mascara.

Make up is an unusual beast...it can make even the smallest eye shape appear large like an anime character...and I'm taking about real people too! Damn deceiving. But yeah, no need to resculpt a thing. Just mascara the crap out of the eyes for this figure and viola, bigger eyes. Don't forget to make the irises (or pupils?) bigger as well.

That's the only way to have her neck stand out. I saw the bottom of the head on eBay, and the hole is just wide enough that you can pop the head out to lengthen the neck but it still will grip the neck post, the only downside is the huge gap from the side view.

I'm glad you said that, making the color of the irises bigger will bring out the likeness as well.
