Re: Official Sideshow Batman PF

Bravo and Congrats!

The first pic is still so painful to see though...

Thanks BB&WSF trust me, it was painful to do it! when I was stretching the fabric across the body, I totally feared the worse but the fabric is actually quite tough!

Re: Official Sideshow Batman PF

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??

Thanks meanstreak I'd say unless you really have a problem with the way yours looks then maybe try it otherwise just leave it as it is. I think this mod has the potential of making more problems than it's worth

Which batman sculpt are you referring too buddy? You mean the alternate head?

Yeah it hasn't bothered me too much... but all these pics of people modding theirs are starting to make it bother me more.

Yep, that's the one - the alt head you are making for the PF.

Kevlar.

He sure looks much better after the mod. I'll see once I get my Reg., if he's actually unbearable to look at, I just might take the plunge...

Well if you do buddy there are a few of us now who have done it so feel free to ask any questions you may have to help reassure you abt anything...it does look so much better once it's done.

I still wish that I had the ex on this one. Oh well... All I can do it hope for an Arkham PF! Will definitely get the ex on that.

There will be Exs available in the next little while. Probably going for about $500 range if you are patient

Great job, bud...looks great and glad you are happy with it.

You're right, the toughest part really is getting the suit unglued initially, and it all depends on how much glue they use in the factory. The first time I did it, the suit came off easy as pie, the second time was much more difficult because they used a ton of glue. Once you get the suit unglued, I think it's pretty straight forward from there.

Thanks Kris, I actually wanted to thank you for all your help and encouragement, not to mention your video mod review which helped alot. Yea, getting the suit unpeeled from the top proved more difficult than I thought it would be due to the amount of glue that Sideshow had used. At one point, no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't get a section of the fabric to come away from where it was glued...almost have up as te slightest pull or tug would have ripped right through (as you showed us in your vid when demonstrating how tough the glue is).

For me personally, the mod had to be done cos those armpits really did bother me and seeing Rafs fix that first time made me think to myself that I wanted mine to look like that too

Hey bro, didn't see your reply I know, that's how I felt...the more people I saw doing the glue mod just made me want mine to look like that too

As for the alternate head, it should be completed by the end of this month and I'm pretty sure you'll be able to get one painted aswell as unpainted. Here is an update pic

That's great to see your mod turn out so well Andy. You might have to do it again soon when I get mine

I'll give it a go mate. I actually wanted to do it again after is finished mine...I still feel I could've done it better had I been given another opportunity. That Fabri Tac glue is lethal man...it sets literally within seconds

Thanks Steve...very kind words buddy I think my OCD has escalated big time since I started collecting back in 2012. Usually when something bothers me about a certain piece then it'll eat away in my head until I do something abt it

Buddy... I think you did an awesome job. I personally don't need to do it, and personally wouldn't bother for myself, BUT I am just over the moon happy for you that it worked out for you. I know it was bugging you.

Re: Official Sideshow Batman PF

It was bugging me too I'm glad he finally fixed it!

I want to do mine too Josh, too afraid. . . actually I don't even have one yet haha. But I just got great news that my local comic shop told me they'll order me one (a regular) and provide a 10% discount and I don't have to pay shipping. So he said I only have to pay $360. So how can I turn that down? thats like $90 off

Thanks for the support Spidey yea, if your happy with the way your Bats looks then just leave be. As I mentioned earlier, this mod has the potential for a few **** ups along the way...easy it is not, more tricky than anything...did I just sound like Yoda?!!
