Premium Format SSC Batman PF

[dw316]

I thought people blew the "pits" situation at of proportion. If you know what to look for, you might have a problem with it. Everyone I have shown bats to in person, NO ONE has ever commented on it. Are they a bit low compared to the proto? Yea but it looks fine to me.

Do you have a pic of yours, sarakawa? Maybe we can compare pics to show the older and newer?

This so-called armpit issue can easily be adressed with some minor tweaks. It's just a matter of pulling the cloth where it should be. Everybody gets the same pieces of material and stitching.

I don't really post anymore but while I'm here, I thought I'd share a tip. For those bothered by the armpits but not willing to "surge", you can simply try to push the cloth deeper in the armpit with a smooth blade (I used a credit card). Twisting the cloth on the arm can also help. It worked quite well with mine, anyway:

Gonna try that myself, not bothered by my pits but every bit helps. Thanks for the tip.

You're welcome. Did you try it?

I'm going to try this as well, though I don't think that the armpits on mine are all that bad to begin with. Thanks for the tip!

Talking about custom heads for the Batman PF.

Great review Chris!

I love my custom Jim Lee Batman head as well as my new Bruce Wayne head that I got through Francois.

As far as original heads, I do prefer the Andy B one over the Martin C head though. I just like the like the lower part of the face better.
One day, when I have money to spare, I might get them repainted. Too many other things on the horizon first though

Thank you, Alan.

I might get my originals repainted as well. Kevin is THE man.

Anyone try putting him on top of a detolf??

 

[savageHULK]

Anyone know what kind of material his utility belt is made of?

 

[dw316]

Some kind of canvas material. I was thinking of selling mine.

Thanks again for the advice! I did it exactly as you suggested. Pushed up on the armpit with a credit card while twisting the arm fabric slightly. Made a world of difference to me. Took a before and after shot:

Yup, great difference. It's as easy as that. Looks great bud.

Which direction to twist? Counterclockwise?

Which direction to twist? Counterclockwise?

I believe it was counter-clockwise (I don't have the statue in front of me at the moment.) Clockwise just pulled the material out of the armpit more, thus having the opposite effect that I was going for. It should be pretty obvious when you start adjusting the material. Just go slow and be gentle with it.

 

[dw316]

^ yeah, that's what I'm afraid of. Mine is, to quote someone else, "decent" right now but I wanna see if I could tighten it a bit more without having to unglue/rip apart the fabric by the neck so if I could do it this way, it would be awesome.

 

[dw316]

So counterclockwise confirmed?

 

[Chronos1919]

So counterclockwise confirmed?

Haha, I'm sorry, I didn't think to confirm this. I will take a look at it after I get home from work.

 

[dw316]

No worries, mate
