SSC Batman 1/6 figure

[BoosterX]

With all the negativity I wasn't expect much. After his arrival and fitting him into his glass cage I think he turned out really well.

My exclusive arrived in the UK yesterday have not had time to look at him yet.

Cool..! Where did you order him from mate?

For those that have repainted the eyes wich is the best color to repaint, a gloss or flat white ? After seeing some of the pics I might give it a try on one of the extra heads when my figure arrives today.

 

[EVILFACE]

Flat.

I'll be using teflon tape.

 

[rm2092]

That's what I was thinking, I hope I don't tear the head up removing the eyes ?

 

[EVILFACE]

Naw, just heat it up with a hairdryer and remove the parts slowly.

You think its safe to use GooGone applied with a syringe in between the narrow gaps to remove those parts?

The short eared one was a alot more difficult to mod. It actually has glue at the inside of the plug. I kinda beat up the neck plug trying to pull it out. I didn't have any white paint at work, so I wrapped the eye balls in plummer's tape (about 3 layers). I got the same result as the white paint. Im not even going bother with the EX head.

Looks like they applied the paint after the eyes were inserted into the head. How odd, considering its construction.

I may give Goo Gone a try but I'll be very careful with it, I'm going to try a Satin White paint.

How common are broken / loose elbows on this figure?

Someone should give him red eyes, and make him "Earth 2" Batman from the nu 52.

Love that Neal Adams version Tony. IMHO it's the perfect blue and grey version. Really liked the smaller belt. Fits the character better.

I got my batman in and was surprised he is indigo blue. Which is a blue violet. The cape is interesting because seams are French seamed and then top stitched down but not correctly on far left side. Because the final seam should be pointed towards back. It's heavy because it uses about a yard of fabric. Which looks like shiny miliskin. It's to thin for moleskin and not fluid enough for satin spandex. My indigo pleather will work to make his undies and cape. It actually matches his boots,head and gauntlets. I'm making a semi traditional belt and suit. I might use suit to make a black batman. Latter someday.

Astro Zombies is a crappy '60s horror movie, and a good Misfits song.

Well,those are probably both me if the 13 is included.

The latter is where I got my name.
My favorite song by my favorite band.

This has to be the most stable 1:6 scale figure I own. The foot/ankle construction really make this guy easy to stand pose. I just had him delivered to my work, and he's standing right here on my desk looking all awesome and imposing.

I agree he doesn't really need a stand. The weight of cape must keep him perfectly balanced.
