I am a huge Batman fan, but the head sculpt on this one is weird to me, and it is keeping me on the fence.

JEBUS I was so wrong, but damn I am glad I go off the fence...lol. So here he is in his perch... Sorry for the iPhone pic, will get better new soon

No one will laugh. At least not normal ppl. You did something that not many ppl will attempt and that alone deserves major props. Let's see some bro

Official Sideshow Batman PF

Hahahaha...Batman armpit modification complete!!! So how did it go? Well...was it easy? I wouldn't say easy...if anything it can be quite tricky especially when ripping the fabric away from the glue at the beginning and then having to stretch the fabric over his torso to enable you to get the glue in...which in itself is very tricky. Then you have the glue which as you pull away, leaves a stringy trail so If your not too careful, the glue could hit areas in which you don't want it to go. For a first attempt I didn't do a bad job, however, I feel like I could have done better given the opportunity to do it again...
I can only be honest but it's certainly not a mod for those who don't have a steady hand or those who don't have patience and just want to rush it. I think potentially a lot can go wrong although the chances of that happening are below 35% I'd say. My most tricky part of the mod is the unglueing of the fabric at the beginning...I reckon everyone's Bats statue is different and mine was glued down like a mofo!! so much so that I was scared of ripping the fabric and almost giving up there and then... Once you've got as far as removing the fabric away from the top, you can then begin to peel down the suit...at this point it's putting a lot of stress on the fabric and at times you feel like something is gonna rip!

Applying the glue was fairly straight forward. Like others, I also used a syringe to perform this part of the mod as you get much better control of application as opposed to using the actual bottle of FabriTac glue. I have to agree with the majority of those who have already achieved this mod that the glue takes no time at all to set! It dries pretty fast so once you've left it for abt 5 mins then your pretty screwed if you wanna go back and change something. I found this out when I decided that I could have done one side a bit better but by then it was too late and there was no way I was gonna be ripping the fabric away from the top of the statue again! I remember seeing Bmutha attempt this on his Bats after applying his FabriTac and it proved to be even more difficult to remove than it was compared to the glue Sideshow had used...so in the end I was pretty happy with the results overall but as mentioned, I could have done a bit better given another go.

Okay guys, sorry for the delay especially you Spidey! here are some brief pics of my attempted Bats PF armpit fix. So all in all I'm okay with it...I've pretty much covered everything that I wanted to say about the mod in the post above so by all means, if your pits are bothering you then give it a go otherwise I'd say just leave it alone.

Thanks for that Spidey...being freakishly OCD abt these things doesnt help but it's certainly an improvement from what it looked like so it can't be bad

Re: Official Sideshow Batman PF

anyone else have trouble getting the foot peg to go all the way in?

I had to push really hard to get it to even fit and I still have a small gap between his foot and the top of the base

It is a pretty common issue... do you have pictures you could share so we have a better idea what is going on.

Man, I wish I had the balls to do that mod...

Any updates on your Batman sculpt? Would you be selling it painted and ready to go??
