Modification/Customization for the DX12 Batman Figure

[Gipetto0812]

Neck Collar mod
- hollow out the mesh section with exacto knife
- then use heat/cold technique to reshape the collar to the position you want. I like it all the way up cover the hair a bit

Mesh wrap
- custom made a mesh sock to go over the bottom part of the neck
- wear the collar over the mesh cover

complete
- the modification is so subtle, but i just want the real mesh to be in there and cover the joint while wearing the collar higher

Looks great Tony!

Did the squint mod and here's the pic as promised.

No way! That is a big compliment coming from you especially since I used your DX12 with sculpted eyelids for reference also. The one in the first age of this thread.

Thanks man!

cheers brother :

I think you got the lids just right. Some ppls squint looks a little too flat if you get my meaning. kind of like this =.=

again great work and very resourceful too with the liquid nail stuff

Thanks. I know what you mean. That's why I put my eyelids on top and made it curved how it already was. I just basically lowered where the top part was to make the eyeballs smaller.

that's exactly what i did. well almost but i did both the top and bottom lids. i was using a still from the interrogation scene and that's what it looked like to me. same shape that HT made them just needed to be closer together

Ok. Well great job man. It inspired me at least!

Very nice! one of the nicest i've seen so far actually. The shoulder pads look so much better. I personally like the stock cowl

Thanks Frank Jaeger, all thanks to the costumizers who contributed and posts tutorials here.

Just modded mine yesterday. I cut out the fatsuit and did the eyelids. Once Robbie's faceplate arrives he'll be perfect.

Looks great man! Robbie's faceplate is a must!

Yeah, it is! It'll be awesome to own a little Christian Bale

All this modding is so addictive, I know the figure looks alright out of the box. But I can't stop thinking of a way of making another mod to make it looks better, but I'm afraid if I mod it too much I will brake it eventually .

Now I'm thinking of taking off the body out of the suit for the second time and stuff the fat suit onto the calf to make the boots fit more snug, coz now it looks a little loose around the calf area .

Has anyone tried to fit Medi boots on this figure? I wonder if it fits better?

How hard is this to do? I think I want to remove my fat suit but I am scared of having to cut the fabric mesh to get to it and ruining it.

Maglor did it in such a way this involved minimal cutting and no cutting of the seams as far as I remember. I haven't looked for the pics but I remember he posted about it. It was like making a v-neck type cut and he slid the suit off I believe

Interesting. I will have to look into that.

Thanks for the info!

I think it's the hardest mod that I did to this figure. You'll need a lot of patience with fat suit removal mod.

What I did was cut the chest part and the back part around 1-1.5cm and start to wiggle the body slowly starting with both arms. Once you get the arm out the MOST DIFFICULT part is to get the thigh part pass the hip/body section. You need to check carefully if they have accidentally sewn a thread onto the body suit and you need to cut that, coz mine has it.

Becarefull not to rub your finger onto the rubber parts of the armor too much coz the paint will peel off. I have mine peel off a little bit when I did mine , luckily the base color is also black and it is covered by the belt.

Once you're done clean up the glue residue around the arm area to make it easier for you when it's time to put it back in. Once everything is back you can sew the opening that you cut, you don't have to worry about the cut since the fabric won't fray easily. All that will be covered by the chest armor and you won't see a thing when it's done.

I did no cutting on mine at all. The suit has enough give to come off the figure. You just have to be patient and do it slowly.

Wow no cutting. Great work man, I can't imagine how difficult it was.

 

[liuskusuma]

In the end, I gave up the idea of taking out the body for the second time coz I don't think the calf mod is worth the hassle. What I did finally was to pull the suit down to the fat suit's glue line on the calf and secure it with sticky tape. It's a little hard to explain, but it gives a little volume to the calf since the suit is back into it's original form when the fat suit was on.

How do you remove the chest section to do all this?

If you mean the chest armor, it connects in the back, just under the armpits on either side. They're glued down, so, some prying is needed. Just remove one of them, not both.
